Veritas by IQgrads (“Veritas”, “we”, “us”) operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS], respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights over it.

1. What we collect

Information you give us through our forms: name, phone number, email, qualification, city, programme of interest, and any message you send.
Technical information collected automatically: IP address, device and browser type, and usage data via cookies or analytics (see Cookies below).

2. Why we use it

To respond to your enquiry and arrange a career consultation.
To provide information about programmes, fees and placement support you have asked about.
With your consent, to send you relevant updates. You can opt out at any time.
To improve our website and services.

3. Consent & legal basis

We process your data on the basis of the consent you give when you submit a form, and to take steps at your request before providing our services. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us (see below); this will not affect processing already carried out.

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with service providers who help us operate (for example, our CRM, hosting and communication tools), under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection obligations. We may disclose data if required by law. [State whether any data is shared with partners; do not list Pearson here unless that sharing actually occurs and is permitted.]

5. How long we keep it

We keep your data only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law, after which it is securely deleted. [State your retention period.]

6. How we protect it

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request to access, correct, update or erase your data, or withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at [PRIVACY EMAIL]. You may also raise a concern with our Grievance Officer, [NAME], at [GRIEVANCE EMAIL] / [PHONE].

8. Children

If you are under 18, please involve a parent or guardian. Where required, we obtain verifiable parental or guardian consent before processing a minor’s data. [Confirm your approach, as some applicants and the parents who fund them may be involved.]

9. Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site function and, with your consent, for analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. [Add a cookie banner/consent tool if you use non-essential cookies.]

10. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page with its date.
