Privacy Policy

Introduction

E7 Partner Limited (‘E7’, ‘we’, ‘our’, or ‘us’) are committed to respecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we deal with your personal information that we collect, use, hold and disclose and how you may exercise your rights to access, alter or have removed such information.

E7’s preference is to view rather than collect personal information. E7 only collects information that is reasonably necessary for the proper performance of our activities or functions.

We have one Privacy Policy that covers our website and our Learning Management System (‘websites’).  We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time when we change how we deal with personal information. We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy on our websites, so we encourage you to check this Privacy Policy from time to time.

In addition to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, there may also be specific and additional privacy and consent provisions that apply to certain collection channels of personal information. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, we recommend that you review them wherever they appear. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Privacy Policy and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.

E7 manages personal information in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the applicable national laws of the countries in which E7 operates.

Definition of ‘Personal Information’

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we use the term ‘personal information’ to refer to information or an opinion that identifies or locates a natural person, including when combined with other reasonably available data (including but not limited to when combined with other data using available technologies, Artificial Intelligence, or information to identify or locate a natural person), can be used to identify or locate a natural person whether the information or opinion is true or not; and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not. For example, your full name, email address, and location settings, LinkedIn profile and photograph are examples of information which may constitute personal information. However, personal information does not include information that is appropriately de-identified or made anonymous and cannot be combined with other data using available technologies, Artificial Intelligence, or information to identify or locate a natural person.

Your Personal Information

To provide you with a positive experience, we need to collect some personal information, which may include full name; email; country of residence or time zone.  Your email address will only be used for the purposes for which you have provided it, and it will not be added to a mailing list or used for any other purpose without your consent. 

How We Collect Your Personal Information


To make any contact through our website, or register for a program, you must, knowingly and willingly provide us with the information we require to respond to you. The E7 websites do not provide facilities for the secure transmission of information across the Internet.

We cannot accept responsibility for events beyond our control; however, we do make every effort to keep personal information secure. We will not sell, rent, loan or otherwise pass on any personal information about you unless required to do so by law.

Cookies

First-party and persistent cookies are used on the websites to remember your login information and for the purposes of session storage. They are deleted when you clear your browser or leave the website.

Storage of Information

We, or third parties acting our behalf may store or process info that we collect about you in countries where the standards for data protection may differ. All information is stored on secure servers. Specifically, servers used by our website are in Ireland. We also work with third party service providers around the world.

How Long we Keep Your Data

Where we have a legitimate business need to do so, such as to comply with legal, tax or accounting requirements, we keep the personal information we collect from you for such periods of time as are required for us to meet our legal obligations.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (such as due to backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
