We process your name, contact details, job title and organisation name in order to process a contract with you (for the provision of a training room).
If you supply information about a disability you have in order that we carry out any special requirements, consent to process this information is deemed to have automatically been given.

Information is only shared with those agencies and bodies who have a "need to know" or where you have consented to the sharing of your personal data to such persons.
We may use the information we hold about you to assist in the detection and prevention of crime or fraud. We may also share this information with other bodies that inspect and manage public funds.
