Privacy policy
Contents
1. Introduction
We are committed to protecting the information we hold about you. This privacy notice describes how, when and why we, at Digital Wings (part of Barclays Bank UK PLC), may use your information, as well as your rights relating to that information.
This privacy notice also explains how others will use your personal information (referred to as ‘personal data’ in this privacy notice). Please see section 4 ‘Who we will share your information with’ for more information on this.
Whilst we provide data privacy against UK laws, we do ask if you are using this site outside the UK that you check your countries data privacy requirements before signing up to Digital Wings.
2. Information we hold about you
Information we hold about you will come from you directly when you use, register and access our content. That information will include the following:
- Your personal details (for example, your name)
- Your contact details (for example your email address)
- Details of the resources that you have accessed, so that we can provide you with the most relevant material for you and improve our service
3. What we use your information for and the legal basis for doing so
We must have a legal basis (lawful reason) to process your personal data. In most cases, the legal basis will be one of the following.
- To allow us to take actions that are necessary for us to provide you with Digital Wings learning and access.
- To protect our legitimate interests (for example, to understand how users use our site and it’s learning so we can develop new services and improve the services we currently provide)
- We have your permission to use your information
- To allow us to meet our legal obligations (for example we may need to disclose information during proceedings for litigation)
The table below sets out what we use your personal data for and our legal basis for doing so. Where our legal basis is a legitimate interest (that is, where our interests do not outweigh our users’ interests), those interests are also set out in the table.
