If you volunteer personal data, for example through filling in an online form, you will be asked to give your consent to Chevron contacting you in the future about relevant courses. We will always give you the choice of opting out of receiving marketing materials by sending you a system email.

Should you enrol on a programme of study with Chevron, your personal data will be used to create student records, in course management processes and for certification. Where a legitimate interest exists, your personal data may be used to provide you with additional information about our services.

We process the information specified above on the following legal bases:

Your personal data will not be stored for any longer than is reasonably necessary. This usually means that we will delete or destroy data once the purpose for which it is collected, stored or processed has expired.
