Notice from CQI of processing data for delegates

The Chartered Quality Institute (the CQI) has approved your training provider to deliver the certified course that you are attending.

During or after your course has finished, your training provider sends them some information about you.

As a registered UK charity, the CQI is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a European law that gives you certain rights with respect to your personal data that is shared with the Institute.

They process your data in order to:

• Provide you with a verifiable record at the conclusion of the course
• Assess the provider and the training that you have received

The data that is shared with them by your training provider includes your name, your email address, the name of your tutor, the course in which you are registered, the date of your course and the results of final assessments that you have completed.

You are assigned a student identification number when you register for a CQI or IRCA certified course. They retain your name, course and exam details, and this student identification number in perpetuity, so that they can verify, upon request, that you completed the course for which you have registered.

They use your name, email address and course information to send you a personalised email following the conclusion of your course, in which they ask you to give them feedback on your experience with the course, your tutor and the training provider. They also ask you whether you are interested in receiving additional information from them about the quality profession, the CQI and IRCA, and their products and services.

As a data subject you have certain rights under the GDPR including, for example, the right to access the data that they hold about you. You can contact the CQI directly or through your training provider to exercise your GDPR rights.
