Arterial Education collects and processes personal information about you that is reasonably necessary for us to perform our functions and activities, including providing continuing professional development (CPD) education.

We will not collect sensitive information about you without your consent, such as personal information about your health, race, political opinion etc. We will store information collected about you securely and access will only be allowed to those authorised and then only for the purpose for which it was collected and in the case of sensitive information for the purpose for which you have provided consent.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that all personal information is kept secure in accordance with reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures.

Why we collect, store and use your personal information

We will use or disclose your personal information only for the purpose for which you provide it to us. We will not use or disclose personal information about you for any secondary purpose, unless you consent to that use or disclosure; or you would reasonably expect the use or disclosure in the circumstances related to the primary purpose for which we have collected the information. The purposes for which we may use or disclose your personal information include:

• to respond to any query or complaint that you may make;
• for administering educational programs or events, including internal review and quality control, and
• for any other purposes required or authorised by law or a court/tribunal order.

You may opt out of receiving any communications from us at any time, although we may then be unable to provide you with all of the information regarding our programs, events, or services which may be of benefit to you. If you decline to provide us with your personal information (or subsequently opt-out) it will likely preclude the provision of relevant services to you by Arterial Education.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information that we collect, use or disclose is up-to-date, complete, accurate and relevant. You may request access to the personal information held about you, or request changes to that personal information if you believe for any reason that the information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, or ask for your personal information to be removed if you no longer wish us to keep your personal information on file.
