How learner data is held, processed and protected.

Straightforward answers to the questions that matter.

Where is data stored?
All learner data is stored in UK-based Microsoft Azure data centres. Data does not leave the UK at any point during normal platform operation.
Who has access to learner data?
Access to learner data is controlled by role-based permissions within the platform.

We do not sell, share or use learner data for any purpose outside the provision of the Aspire360 service.
What happens to data when a contract ends?

Is a Data Processing Agreement available?
Yes. A Data Processing Agreement is available for all organisations and is standard on public sector contracts. Contact us to request a copy.
How is a data breach managed?
