Use of Cookies

A cookie is a piece of information placed on the hard drive of Internet users by the server of the site they visit. It contains several pieces of data: the name of the server which installed it, an identifier in the form of a unique number, and possibly an expiry date. This information is sometimes stored on the computer in a simple text file that a server accesses to read and save pieces of information. LDI installs a small number cookies on your machine, for example to identify you as a returning visitor.

Who we share your data with

LDI may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our offering, to provide services on our behalf, and/or to assist us in analysing how our products/offerings are being used. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does NOT identify any individual, without restriction.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:

  • To our subsidiaries and affiliates.
  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business.
  • To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Company’s assets whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by the Company about the Service’s users is among the assets transferred.
  • For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information.
  • To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others.

We will take necessary steps with any of these organisations we work with to ensure that they comply with the handling of the data under GDPR. For example we will require them to not store any personal information outside of the LDI environment and prohibit them from using this for any other purpose.

Lawful Basis

Under Data Protection legislation, the lawful basis we rely for signing up to the site and subscription to the LDI Mailing list is consent. You are able to remove your consent to the subscription to the mailing list at any time from the Edit Profile section or by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ button at the bottom of any mailshot we send you.

Should you not wish to receive any commnications from LDI, you can do this by raising a support ticket and selecting the option to “Remove from ”. This will delete all of your quiz/course history and all the information associated with your profile. Should you decide to sign up again at a later stage it will be with a different profile identifier and therefore your history will be lost.

How we store your personal information

Your information is securely stored in the UK with a local web hosting provider and Azure UK South data centre.

We keep this data only for the period during which the data is relevant (e.g. to be used for a time-based analysis in benchmarking reports). After this point, we will delete historical data from our website database.
