Your ability to access and correct your information may be temporarily limited where access and correction could: inhibit RTS’ ability to comply with a legal obligation; inhibit RTS’ ability to investigate, make or defend legal claims; result in disclosure of personal information about a third party; or result in breach of a contract or disclosure of trade secrets or other proprietary business information belonging to RTS or a third party.

To better understand how prospective customers are locating and learning about us, we use cookies and tracking tags including Google Analytics and conversion tracking.  For more information on how Google uses information, see the site “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”, currently located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners (and may be relocated by Google from time to time).  If you do not consent to this tracking, please do not access our website(s) and refrain from using the Solution. 

You may access other third-party services through the Solution, for example by clicking on links to those third-party services from within the Solution. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of these third-party services, and we encourage you to carefully review their privacy policies.

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, after four years from the date the last course was completed we will delete it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Reference is made to the Terms and Conditions for this Solution regarding client responsibility for document retention.

With your consent, we may share your information. Under no circumstances will RTS sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing your personal information or your students’ information on the platform.

We will normally collect personal information from you only:

• where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you;
• where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights; or
• where we have your consent to do so.

We have a legitimate interest in operating our Solution and communicating with you as necessary to provide these Services, for example when responding to your queries, improving our platform, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

RTS is committed to protecting your information. To do so, we employ a variety of security technologies and measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.

RTS operates secure data networks that are designed to protect your privacy and security.  Our e-commerce partners (WooCommerce, Stripe) have their own Security and Privacy Issues documents which can be found on their websites.  We do not store any sensitive information such as credit card numbers within the Solution.  Credit card numbers are stored on our payment processor’s server encrypted at rest with AES-256.  This service is PCI compliant, audited and certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1.   

However, please bear in mind that the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You are responsible for creating strong password(s), protecting password(s) at all times, and for not sharing password(s) or allowing another to use administrator nor student accounts.  Weaker passwords may be targeted by hackers which is not within RTS’ control. 

Should RTS or our partners transfer personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected, these countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. If we transfer your personal information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time.
