Privacy policy

Our approach

Watchdog Compliance respects your privacy and aims to handle personal information openly and responsibly. This policy explains our general practices when you use our website, contact us, enrol in training or engage our services.

The precise information and legal requirements may depend on the service, product, platform and country involved.

Information we may collect

We may collect information you provide directly, information generated through your use of our services and limited technical information associated with website or platform use.

• Name, role, organisation and contact details
• Enquiry, engagement, training and account information
• Documents or facts you choose to provide for a matter
• Payment and transaction information handled through relevant providers
• Device, browser, security and usage information where enabled
• Campaign source, landing page and referral information attached to an enquiry

How we use information

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide and improve services, manage accounts and training, communicate relevant updates, maintain security, meet legal obligations and operate our business.

• Deliver agreed legal, compliance, training and technology services
• Communicate about enquiries, engagements, access and support
• Administer records, billing, security and quality assurance
• Understand which resources and campaigns lead to enquiries
• Send marketing only where permitted and provide a practical opt-out
• Investigate incidents, complaints or suspected misuse

Disclosure and service providers

We may disclose information to personnel, professional advisers, technology and payment providers, learning platforms and other service providers where reasonably needed for the relevant purpose. We may also disclose information where required or authorised by law.

Some providers may store or process information outside your country. Relevant arrangements and protections depend on the provider and service used.

Security and retention

We use proportionate administrative, technical and physical measures to protect information. No system is completely secure, so please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through a general website enquiry.

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose, legal and professional obligations, dispute management and legitimate business records, then delete or de-identify it where appropriate.

Access, correction and choices

You may contact us to request access to or correction of personal information we hold about you, subject to applicable exceptions. You can also ask about marketing preferences, a privacy concern or the handling of your information.
