Introduction and Overview

irvirotinex operates as a financial education platform specialising in budget management and cost reduction strategies. We're committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.

This privacy policy explains our practices regarding personal data when you visit our website, enroll in our programmes, or interact with our services. We operate in accordance with UK data protection laws, including the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR.

Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us provide better educational services and personalised learning experiences. Here's what we gather and why:

• Contact details including name, email address, and phone number when you enquire about programmes
• Educational background and career information to tailor learning recommendations
• Financial learning goals and current knowledge level for programme customisation
• Website usage data through cookies and analytics tools
• Communication records when you contact our support team
• Payment information processed securely through third-party providers

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to deliver educational services, communicate programme updates, and improve our offerings. Most importantly, we use it to create learning experiences that actually help you achieve your financial goals.

• Delivering personalised budget management education and resources
• Providing programme updates, learning materials, and support
• Processing enrollments and managing your learning progress
• Sending relevant educational content and programme announcements
• Improving our website functionality and user experience
• Responding to your questions and providing customer support

Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK data protection law, we need a legal basis to process your personal information. We rely on several bases depending on how we use your data:

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We don't sell your personal information to anyone. However, we do work with trusted partners who help us deliver our educational services effectively:

• Payment processors who handle transactions securely on our behalf
• Email service providers for sending programme updates and educational content
• Learning management system providers who host our online courses
• Analytics services that help us understand how people use our website
• Customer support platforms for managing your enquiries and feedback

All our partners are required to protect your information and only use it for the specific services they provide to us. We have contracts in place that ensure they meet the same privacy standards we maintain.

Your Privacy Rights

UK data protection law gives you significant control over your personal information. Here's what you can do and how to exercise these rights:

Data Security and Protection

We take protecting your information seriously and use multiple layers of security to keep it safe. Our approach combines technical safeguards with strict internal policies:

• SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of our systems
• Access controls ensuring only authorised staff can view personal information
• Secure backup systems with encryption for stored data
• Staff training on data protection principles and secure handling practices
• Incident response procedures for addressing any potential security breaches

Data Retention and Deletion

We only keep your personal information as long as necessary to provide our services or fulfill legal requirements. Here's our approach to data retention:

• Active student records: Retained for the duration of your programme plus 7 years
• Website analytics data: Automatically deleted after 26 months
• Marketing communications data: Kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion
• Financial records: Retained for 6 years to comply with UK tax and accounting requirements
• Support enquiries: Deleted after 3 years unless ongoing issues require longer retention

When we delete information, we ensure it's completely removed from our active systems and backups. Some data may remain in our systems for technical reasons, but it's anonymised so it can't be linked back to you.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and help us understand how people use our services. We're transparent about what cookies we use and give you control over your preferences.

International Data Transfers

Most of your personal information is processed within the UK. However, some of our service providers are located outside the UK, which means your data might be transferred internationally.

When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information. This includes using providers in countries with adequate data protection laws or implementing additional contractual protections.

Changes to This Policy

We review and update this privacy policy regularly to ensure it remains accurate and reflects any changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant updates, we'll notify you through email or prominent notices on our website.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before sharing additional personal information with us. The date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.
