e-Learn Design is a Data Processor registered with the ICO ref: Z2107917. For the purposes of this policy, clients are Data Controllers, retaining control of their data and remaining responsible for their compliance obligations under the Data Protection Legislation, including but not limited to providing any required notices and obtaining any required consents and for the written processing instructions they give to e-Learn Design.

1. Individual client Moodle installations collect the following types of personal information:

This information is stored in individual client Moodle databases that are only available to specified system accounts; all passwords are encrypted.

3. e-Learn Design gathers information on individual clients by request, particularly main client contacts and invoicing details, as well as through our support system. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example:

we may ask clients who use our support to provide a username, email address and full name of an end-user experiencing difficulties in order to diagnose a technical problem, and only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the client’s support request.

All client and support ticket information is held in a database; this is only accessible via users and/or accounts with sufficient privileges for support or administration.

e-Learn Design does not use payment gateways or share your personal data via any online payment systems. We will only release personal information under the following circumstances:

  • where our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of;
  • to debt collection agencies or to the Court;
  • to HMRC if obliged to do so by law;
  • to our appointed professional advisers, including our accountants, lawyers and bankers, to the extent that they require in order to properly advise us; or
