Low Carbon Business School (“LCBS”, “we,” “us,” and “our”) takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) has been designed to answer your questions about your privacy rights while you engage LCBS’s websites and mobile applications(s) (collectively, “Sites”), as well as when you participate in LCBS courses and events (collectively, '"Services").
This Policy applies to LCBS Sites and Services that link or reference this Policy. This Policy describes how LCBS collects, uses, shares, and otherwise processes Personal Data, as defined in the section below, and the choices available to you regarding: (1) how we collect, use, access, and store your Personal Data; and (2) how to confirm your Personal Data is updated, corrected, or deleted. Additional terms and information about LCBS’s Personal Data handling practices may be provided in offer descriptions, supplement statements, or contract terms, or notices provided prior to or at the time of information collection.
“Personal Data” is any information that can be used to identify an individual, and may include, but is not limited to: name, address, email address, phone number, login information (account number, password), marketing preferences, social media account information, IP addresses, location data (if combined with other identifiers), personal identification numbers (passport numbers, social security numbers, etc.), photos, video footage with your likeness, audio recordings, payment card number, criminal record, educational and professional records, and any form of biometric, health, genetic, racial, religion, political affiliation, gender-based, sexual preference, age-related, or other identifying personal data.
