Prospect
Most of the information we process comes from you. We process it so we can reply to you, and when you contact us again, we know what you asked before, what you were sent, and what you told us.
Typically, we are collecting name, contact details, how we came across you, and background information from you or published by you on social media or freely accessible on the internet, on why you might be interested in our services or a relevant contact for our business.
If we email you or respond to an email sent to us at any of our business email addresses, a copy of that email will also be stored.
If you make an enquiry via our website, we will keep details of that enquiry and response for our data retention period.
We do not routinely keep special category data. To the extent we hold this, it was supplied or made publicly available by you.
Customers
Once you buy something from us, we will collect information from you at the point of sale. This will include the information we collect from Prospects (above). We collect your email address, phone number and postal address so we can provide what we have contracted to, invoice you and keep proper records of our business relationship.
We process your data to support the delivery of the services you have bought. We keep records of the services provided to you, and information you give us, so we can support you when needed and advise you of any additional services you may need.
When we are processing data about you on behalf of a customer, we are operating under the banner of our customer’s data privacy policy. We will refer any enquiry from you to them, as they are the “data controller” responsible for dealing with your query. But we will support that by providing relevant information to our customer for passing to you.
Associate Business Coaches & Suppliers
We collect information on potential and actual Associate Business Coaches and suppliers. This is mostly provided by you, but we do add to it the same kind of data we use for Prospects (see above).
If you become an Associate Business Coach or supplier, we keep a copy of the contract between us and your bank details so we can pay you. We also keep a record of invoices/payments for accounting purposes.
We keep a record of the work you undertook for us/our customers along with any comments, reviews or suggestions about that work including complaints (if any) and their resolution.
This information is all needed to manage our customer relationships and our supply chain.

We collect information about potential and actual Learners, in the first instance this information may be passed to us by your employer. Depending on the type of learning programme you embark on with OTD Ltd, you may add to this over time. This could be in the form of application forms or learning portals or other necessary documentation to sustain the learning.
The data we hold on you is added to during the course of your learning journey, such data will be added by your Associate Business Coach and / or Assessor.
Unless otherwise agreed at the beginning of your learning journey, your information will not be shared with another third party, or your employer unless the reasons for doing so are to enable us to continue your development, and to fulfil our contract with your employer.

We collect information on potential and actual Employees through the application and recruitment process. This is mostly provided by you or via an employment agency or third party who undertakes background checks. Further information will be collected from you during the enrolment period, and when you complete forms at the start of your employment.
This will include your bank and next of kin details. Other details may be collected directly from you in the form of official documentation such as, your driving licence, passport or other right to work evidence. This data is added to during the course of your engagement with us, to enable its continued existence or development.
All employee data will be held in accordance with this policy and the Privacy Notice for Employees.
Financial and credit card details
We do not receive or store your credit card details. Credit card payments are handled by an external secure processor in accordance with their data security policies. We receive limited information from our processor for us to tie up your payment with your invoice.
When you pay us by BACS or direct transfer, we know only what the bank tells us, which is usually the name of the person (Company) who paid us and how much and the reference number.
We do not keep credit scores nor use credit reference agencies.
