Personal information may be used for the following purposes:

  • Students: applications, enrolment, course administration and provision of services.
  • Employees: selection, appointment, review, general administration and provision of services.
  • Contractors/Hirers: administration and provision of services.

Cookies – collecting, using and disclosing personal information

Users of the BCTA website may receive a cookie that is stored in their computer’s memory. A cookie is a small data file sent from a web server to your internet browser and saved on your device. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can disable them in your browser settings, although this may restrict access to some web pages.

Cookies store non-personal information, such as your server address, top-level domain name, the date and time of your visit, pages accessed and downloaded, the address of the last site you visited, and the type of browser you are using. We use this information to monitor website usage for website management, development and planning.

Contact Us Forms

If you provide personal details during your visit to the BCTA website, we will use and disclose them only for the purpose for which they were collected. Any other use or disclosure will require your consent or will be in accordance with exemptions permitted under privacy law.

For example, if you complete an online form requesting information about a course, we will only use your personal details for that purpose, a related secondary purpose, or another purpose permitted under privacy law, unless you consent to other uses.

Security

Email addresses are used for mail-out campaigns, newsletters and testimonials only if you have provided your email address to subscribe to our mailing list.

If we collect and use any photography or video recordings for the BCTA website, newsletters or publications, you will be asked to complete a photographic/media consent form. This confirms that you acknowledge the images may be used by BCTA to promote its courses and services. No personal information, such as names, will be used in any publication without your consent.

This privacy statement applies only to this website and does not extend to linked websites. When you follow a link to an external website, we recommend that you read that website’s privacy statement.
