This Privacy Policy explains how Research Lens Style processes personal data in connection with the website and related executive training services. It describes the categories of data we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the circumstances in which we share it, and the rights available to individuals under applicable law.
We may process identification details, contact details, professional information, training preferences, account or registration data, payment-related records where applicable, communications, and technical data such as device and usage information. We do not seek to collect more data than is reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy.
We receive personal data directly from users when they complete forms, make inquiries, register for training, or communicate with us. We also collect certain data automatically through the website, including browser and device details, log data, and cookie-related information. In some cases, we may receive information from service providers that support the operation of the site.
We may use essential cookies to support basic site functions, such as page navigation and security. We may also use preference cookies to remember selected settings and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used and to improve performance. Where applicable, similar technologies may be used for the same purposes.
Users may block or delete cookies through their browser settings, although some site functions may not work properly if essential cookies are disabled. Where the site provides a cookie notice or preference tool, users can use it to adjust non-essential cookie settings. Browser controls remain available even when no separate preference tool is used.
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data only when we have a lawful basis, such as consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the individual. We also apply data minimisation, purpose limitation, and storage limitation principles in our handling of personal data.
Because the website is offered in the European Union context, GDPR applies to personal data processing for users in the EEA where the Regulation is applicable.
Where the GDPR applies, individuals may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of their personal data, and the right to data portability in appropriate cases. Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting prior processing. Individuals may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
We use personal data to operate the website, provide executive training services, respond to inquiries, manage registrations, communicate with users, maintain records, improve site performance, protect the security of our systems, and comply with legal obligations. Where permitted, we may also use data to manage internal administration and to support legitimate business operations.
We may share personal data with vendors and service providers that support website hosting, analytics, communications, administration, or training operations. These parties act on our instructions where they process data on our behalf, or they act as separate controllers where they provide their own services. We seek to limit disclosures to what is necessary for the relevant function.
We may disclose personal data to public authorities, courts, or other parties when required to comply with legal obligations, enforce our rights, protect against fraud or security incidents, or respond to lawful requests. We may also share information where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal data, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability. Some requests may be limited where we must retain information for legal, security, or contractual reasons. We will assess each request in line with applicable requirements.
To exercise a privacy right, please use the contact details in this policy and describe the request clearly enough for us to identify the relevant data. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity and to protect against unauthorised disclosure. If a request is complex or numerous, our response may take longer within the limits allowed by law.
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including any related administrative, legal, accounting, or security requirements. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymise it, or otherwise render it unavailable for identification, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
When we make material changes, we will update the policy text and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version will apply from the effective date shown in the policy or from the date it is posted if no separate date is stated. Users should review the policy periodically to stay informed about current practices.
