Personal information – what and why do we collect it
Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual.

The personal information we collect could include names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, bank account details, training history, and device and location information including IP addresses, device type (mobile, PC, Android/ Apple iOS/ Windows etc). We collect your personal information for the primary purpose of providing our services to you, providing information to our clients and for marketing purposes. We may also use your personal information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure.
