iLearn Bedford are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We strive to protect the security of information which you provide to us, and will use up-to-date measures to provide such security.
This Policy explains how we use personal information we collect about you when you use our website. It also explains the conditions under which we may pass your personal information on to others and how we keep your information secure.
By using our websites, you’re agreeing to be bound by this Policy.
How do we collect information from you?
We obtain information about you when you use our websites, for example, when you make an enquiry with us via a web form.
What information do we collect from you?
The personal information we collect might include your name, email address, contact number, and anonymised analytical data (e.g. what web pages you accessed and at what time.)
Why do we collect this information?
We collect your information to:
- Process and respond to any enquiries you have made with us about our services.
- Carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us.

What do we do with your information?
Personal information that is submitted via our Contact us form is stored on highly-secure external databases that are only accessible by iLearn Bedford’s web agency.

Nothing is ever guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
