We strive to comply with the laws of the countries in which we do business regarding the protection of your Personal Data and we adhere to the following principles for handling your Personal Data:

We collect your Personal Data: (i) to consider you for training; (ii) to plan and implement your travel and personal needs; or (iii) for purposes to which you’ve otherwise consented. If we collect your Personal Data for any other reason, we’ll notify you before using or disclosing that data, stating our purpose for collecting and using the data, the types of non-agent third parties to which we disclose the data, and the means we offer you to limit the use and disclosure of the data. This Policy reflects our business practices and is not a contract. We may amend this Policy at any time and will notify you of any updates. The revised policy will apply to all information collected by us, including previously collected information.

Choice . Except as required by law, we do not sell or disclose your Personal Data to non-agent third parties or use it for any purpose other than for which it was originally collected or as you authorize. If we wish to disclose your Personal Data to a non-Agent third party or use data for a purpose other than for which it was originally collected or as you authorize, we will provide you the affirmative, explicit choice of whether you wish to permit such disclosure. Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose Personal Data or Sensitive Data if we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to (a) protect or defend our or your rights, interests or property; or (b) comply with any applicable law, regulation, judicial rule or order, or other mandate. In any such case, we will take reasonable care to disclose only as much Personal Data as is necessary.

Onward Transfer . We may disclose your Personal Data to people or organizations who perform tasks for us, but only for the above-stated purposes. We will take reasonable steps to obtain assurances from them that they will safeguard your Personal Data consistent with this Policy. Upon discovery, we will take reasonable steps to stop such persons or entities from using or disclosing Personal Data that is contrary to this Policy.

Security . We take reasonable precautions to protect your data from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. To help maintain the security of your data, we employ physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, including utilizing policies to take reasonable precautions to (a) securely and confidentially maintain your Personal Data; (b) protect against threats/hazards to the security or integrity of such data; and (c) prevent unauthorized access to or use of such data.

Access . If you discover that the data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, please let us know. We will grant you reasonable access to the Personal Data we hold about you and will take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend or delete your Personal Data that you show to be inaccurate or incomplete, so long as it can be done without imposing an undue burden or expense on us.
