This will be the case if you place an order for training due to begin within 7 days of your booking or agree to the provision of consultancy work that starts within 7 days of the agreement.

Data Protection and Processing
Personal Data and other phrases that relate to data protection are given the meaning in the Data Protection Legislation (all laws that CP Data Protection or you are subject to that relate to the Processing of Personal Data or to privacy.)
If you submit your own personal data to CP Data Protection via this Website or any other contact method, our use of your data is covered by our Privacy Notice.
If you provide any other Personal Data to us as part of us providing you with a free or charged-for Service so that we can Process that data on your behalf, e.g. Personal Data about your clients or employees so we can assist you with a data protection query, we are acting as a Data Processor on your behalf and you guarantee that you have the necessary legal basis to Process that Personal Data.
When acting as your Data Processor, CP Data Protection will: Process the Data only on your documented instructions unless required to do otherwise by law; handle the Data as confidential; engage Sub-Processors as necessary but only with the legally required controls in place; assist the Data Controller as far as possible with responding to requests from Data Subjects related to their Data; use appropriate security measures; make available to the Controller reasonably requested information to demonstrate compliance with our legal Data Protection obligations and submit to reasonable audits and reviews; at the choice of the Controller delete or return all Personal Data when requested unless we have a legal basis to retain it.
For the avoidance of doubt, CP Data Protection is a Data Controller for other Personal Data obtained and handled as part of providing our free and charged-for Services, e.g. contact details of clients, prospective clients, other stakeholders and business contacts, where we are Processing that Data for our own purposes, and not on the instructions of a client.
