UK GDPR

UK GDPR Compliance

GoSkill Vocational Training is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your rights under UK GDPR, even though we do not store personal data through user registration or databases.

Scope and Applicability

The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the UK. While GoSkill Vocational Training does not collect personal information through user accounts or forms, we may process limited personal data automatically through website analytics, server logs, and cookies to improve user experience and site performance.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access – to request confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and to receive a copy of it.
  • Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate personal data.
  • Right to erasure – to request deletion of your personal data where applicable.
  • Right to restrict processing – to limit how your data is used under certain conditions.
  • Right to data portability – to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
  • Right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling.
  • Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

How We Comply

We do not maintain databases of personal information. Any data collected automatically (e.g., IP addresses, browser type, cookies) is used solely for analytical purposes and is anonymised or aggregated where possible. We use only necessary cookies with prior consent, and we do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Data We Process

The only personal data we may process includes:

  • IP addresses (anonymised via server logs)
  • Cookie identifiers for site functionality and analytics
  • Browser and device information for technical optimisation

This data is not linked to any individual identity and is retained only for as long as necessary for analytics and security.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR, including:

  • Ensuring website functionality and security
  • Improving user experience through analytics
  • Maintaining site performance and accessibility

We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data where your interests override ours.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us by email at [email protected]. Please include your full name, the nature of your request, and any relevant details (e.g., browser or device information if applicable). We will respond without undue delay.

Response Timeframes

We are required to respond to your request within one month of receipt. Where requests are complex or numerous, we may extend this period by two further months, informing you within one month of the reason for the delay.

No Discrimination Policy

You will not be denied services, charged different prices, or receive a lower quality of service because you exercised your rights under UK GDPR.

Updates and Changes

We may update this compliance page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. The most recent version will always be posted here with an updated effective date.
