BHT Training Privacy Statement
At BHT Training, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of all of our customers, visitors to our website and subscribers to our mailing list.
Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect.
BHT Training Customers
When you purchase a training course from the BHT Training website, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, organisation, address and email address.
When you are booking on behalf of a colleague, we will collect some personal information relating to the ‘attendee’, this includes their name, job role, email address and any additional/ access requirements.
This information will be used to process your booking, keep you informed of any relevant information relating to your purchase and to ensure that we can provide the best service possible to customers attending our training courses.
With your permission, we may send you emails (newsletters and information) about our training service and courses, special offers and other updates.
Visitors to our Website
When someone visits www.bht-training.org.uk we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns.
We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. You can find more information on how cookies are used on this website in the Cookies Policy below.
If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it
Mailing List Sign Up
As part of the registration process for our mailing list, we collect personal information, including your name, email address, and preferences.
We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about things you’ve asked us to tell you about, i.e. training news, upcoming courses and special offers; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don't share our email lists with any other organisations or businesses.
We use a third party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our monthly training schedule, newsletter and details of forthcoming courses and special offers. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s Privacy Policy.

BHT Training uses the Event Espresso plugin for our online e-commerce platform, allowing us to sell our products and services to you in a standardised and secure environment. None of your data is stored on the Event Espresso website.
The BHT Training website uses SSL 128bit encryption throughout to ensure the highest security of customer information. The address of this site should display in your browser as starting with 'https' and display a green padlock.
Your data is stored on a MySQL database on a shared hosting server behind a firewall. We undertake periodic data-cleansing of customer details to ensure we only store the most relevant and up-to-date information.
Payment:
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Stripe stores your credit card data.
Your credit card details are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your credit card data is handled by Stripe directly and is not stored on the website.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa and Mastercard.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
