Information We Collect

At corvalenium, we collect information that helps us provide better banking education services. The data we gather falls into several categories, each serving specific purposes in delivering our educational content and improving your learning experience.

We only collect information that's necessary for providing our banking education services. You can choose not to provide certain information, though this might limit access to some features of our platform.

How We Use Your Information

Your data serves specific purposes that directly benefit your educational experience. We've organized our usage into clear categories so you understand exactly how your information helps us serve you better.

• Delivering personalized banking education content tailored to your learning progress and interests
• Sending course updates, webinar invitations, and relevant educational materials via email
• Processing your enrollment in courses, webinars, and other educational programs
• Providing customer support and responding to your inquiries about our services
• Improving our website functionality and user experience based on usage patterns
• Ensuring platform security and preventing unauthorized access to your account
• Conducting educational research to enhance our course offerings and teaching methods
• Complying with legal obligations and regulatory requirements in the UK financial education sector

We never use your personal information for purposes beyond those listed here without obtaining your explicit consent first. Our educational mission drives every decision we make about data usage.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

corvalenium believes in transparency about when and why we might share your information. We maintain strict policies about data sharing and only work with trusted partners who meet our privacy standards.

We may share your information in these limited circumstances:

• With educational technology providers who help deliver our online courses and track your learning progress
• With email service providers who help us send course updates and educational content to you
• With payment processors when you purchase courses or educational materials from us
• With analytics services that help us understand how our website is used and improve the user experience
• With legal authorities when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users
• With professional advisors including lawyers, accountants, and auditors who assist with our business operations

All third-party partners must agree to strict confidentiality requirements and are only permitted to use your data for the specific services they provide to us. We never sell or rent your personal information to marketing companies or other third parties.

If corvalenium were ever acquired by or merged with another company, your information would be transferred as part of that transaction, but you would be notified well in advance and given options about your data.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your personal information is fundamental to everything we do at corvalenium. We've implemented comprehensive security measures that protect your data both when it's stored on our systems and when it's being transmitted over the internet.

Our security framework includes multiple layers of protection:

• Advanced encryption protocols for all data transmission between your device and our servers
• Secure database storage with regular backups stored in geographically separate locations
• Multi-factor authentication systems for all administrative access to our systems
• Regular security audits conducted by independent cybersecurity professionals
• Employee training programs on data protection and privacy best practices
• Automated monitoring systems that detect and respond to potential security threats
• Strict access controls ensuring only authorized personnel can access personal data

While we implement industry-leading security measures, no system can guarantee complete security. We continuously update our security practices and will notify you promptly if we become aware of any security incident that might affect your personal information.

You can help protect your account by using strong, unique passwords and logging out when using shared computers. If you notice any suspicious activity on your account, please contact us immediately.

Data Retention Periods

We keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. Different types of data are retained for different periods based on legal requirements and business needs.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete your information using industry-standard data destruction methods. You can request early deletion of certain data types by contacting our privacy team.

International Data Transfers

While corvalenium primarily operates within the United Kingdom, some of our technology partners are located in other countries. When we transfer your data internationally, we ensure it receives the same level of protection as it would in the UK.

We use several mechanisms to protect your data during international transfers:

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by UK data protection authorities
• Adequacy decisions recognizing equivalent data protection standards in destination countries
• Certification schemes that demonstrate appropriate privacy safeguards
• Binding corporate rules for transfers within multinational technology companies

Currently, we may transfer data to the United States for cloud storage services and to European Union countries for educational technology platforms. All transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards and can be stopped upon your request.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

corvalenium uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and understand how you interact with our website. We believe in giving you control over these technologies while explaining their benefits.

We use different types of cookies for various purposes:

• Essential cookies that enable basic website functionality like login and course access
• Performance cookies that help us understand which pages are most useful to learners
• Functional cookies that remember your preferences and personalize your experience
• Targeting cookies that help us show you relevant educational content and course recommendations

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie preference center. Disabling certain cookies might affect some website features, but you'll still be able to access our core educational content.

We also use web beacons and similar technologies in our emails to understand which educational content resonates with our community. You can opt out of email tracking by adjusting your account preferences.

Children's Privacy Protection

corvalenium's banking education services are designed for adults and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 years old. If we discover that we've inadvertently collected information from someone under 16, we'll delete it immediately.

Parents and guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information should contact us right away. We'll work quickly to verify the situation and remove any inappropriate data from our systems.

For users between 16 and 18 years old interested in financial education, we require parental consent before collecting any personal information. This ensures young learners can benefit from our resources while maintaining appropriate privacy protections.

Policy Updates and Changes

This privacy policy may change as our services evolve and legal requirements develop. We review our privacy practices regularly and update this policy to reflect any changes in how we handle your information.

When we make significant changes to this policy, we'll notify you through multiple channels:

• Email notification sent to your registered email address at least 30 days before changes take effect
• Prominent notice displayed on our website homepage for all visitors to see
• In-account messaging when you next log in to access your courses
• Updated version posted in your account dashboard with highlighted changes

Minor updates like clarifications or administrative changes may be made without advance notice, though we'll always update the "last modified" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
