Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

This privacy policy explains how the London School of Email Security (“LSES”, “we”, “us”) collects and processes personal data when you use our website at londonschool.email and our training services. LSES is a UK-based organisation and complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What Data We Collect

We collect personal data that you provide directly when you enrol on a programme, contact us, or create an account. This typically includes your name, email address, and organisation. If you enrol on a paid programme, our payment processor will collect payment details on our behalf — we do not store card numbers or banking information on our servers.

We also collect limited technical data automatically, including IP address, browser type, and pages visited, to ensure the platform functions correctly and to understand how our content is used.

How We Use Your Data

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

  • Delivering course content, labs, and assessments
  • Issuing certifications and digital badges
  • Communicating with you about your enrolment, progress, and account
  • Sending occasional updates about new programmes or changes to existing ones (you can opt out at any time)
  • Improving our platform and training materials
  • Complying with legal obligations

Third Parties

We share personal data with a limited number of trusted third parties, only as necessary to deliver our services:

  • Accredible— used to issue digital badges and certificates for our CEAP and CETA certifications. Your name and email are shared when a credential is issued.
  • Payment processor — handles payment transactions securely. We do not have access to your full card details.
  • Analytics— we use privacy-respecting analytics to understand site usage. No personal data is sold or shared with advertisers.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to ensure the platform works correctly. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how our site is used. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. Certification records are retained indefinitely to allow verification of credentials. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it.
