PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
To safeguard your personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures such as up-to-date antivirus protection, encryption and the use of privacy filters to secure all storage and transmission of personal data by us, and disclosing personal data both internally and to our authorised third party service providers and agents only on a need-to-know basis.
You should be aware, however, that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While security cannot be guaranteed, we strive to protect the security of your information and are constantly reviewing and enhancing our information security measures.
SECURITY OF PERSONAL DATA
Our Learning Loft respects your personal data and will only collect your personal information when it is provided to us voluntarily by you, or via a third party who has been duly authorised by you to disclose your personal data to us. A written consent to the collection and usage of your personal data should be given after you have been notified of the purposes for which the data is collected.
We will ensure the protection of personal data in our possession by providing reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorized access, collection, usage and disclosure of these personal data.
ACCURACY OF PERSONAL DATA
It is your responsibility to ensure that all personal data submitted and retained by us are accurate, not misleading, updated and complete in all respects.
Failure on your part to do so may result in our inability to provide you with the services you have requested.
The submission of any personal data relating to a third party (e.g. information of spouse, parents, guardians, etc.), should be obtained with the consent of the third party to provide such data.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA
We may disclose your personal data:

Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you) for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to us.

Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform us in writing in the manner described in clause 8 above.
Please note that withdrawing consent does not affect our right to continue to collect, use and disclose personal data where such collection, use and disclose without consent is permitted or required under applicable laws.
