Is data stored in a secure way?

The WebcoLMS strives to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information which it holds and has security measures in place to protect such information against misuse, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure. However, no system is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

 

Will your personal information be published on our website?

The WebcoLMS will only publish personal information on one of our websites if it has been specifically collected for this purpose and with your knowledge and consent.

When giving such consent you should be aware that information published on a WebcoLMS website is accessible to millions of users from all over the world, that it will be indexed by search engines and that it may be copied and used by any web user. This means that once the information is published on a WebcoLMS website, the WebcoLMS will have no control over its subsequent use and disclosure.

 

How long do we store your personal data?

We store the personal data in your account as long as you have registered an account with us and until 1 year afterwards. The personal data in our financial administration is stored for a maximum term of 7 years. Our correspondence with you is stored during a maximum term of 7 years. Cookie ID’s are stored for 12 months.

Incidentally, we may have to store your personal data for longer periods, for example if this is necessary in relation to legal proceedings involving you, or a legal obligation imposed on us.

 

What rights do you have?

The WebcoLMS takes reasonable steps to ensure the personal information it stores is accurate, complete and up-to-date. We may periodically contact customers for this purpose.

You have the right to request access to your personal information held by the WebcoLMS. Where such information is held by us, we will endeavour to provide you with an appropriate means of accessing it, normally by email. We may charge you a fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing the requested information to you. However, we will not charge for simply making the request and will not charge you for making any corrections to your personal information. There could be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. An example of where this might happen is where granting access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others or if it would be unlawful. We will give you written reasons for any refusal.

If you believe that the personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you can request us to amend it. We will then review your request and amend the data if we agree. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.

You may make such a request by contacting us using the details below.
