SAFEX International e-Learning Portal

Introduction

The SAFEX International e-Learning Portal is developed by Cranfield University for Safex International and offers online training courses with assessments.

Use of personal data within Safex e-Learning Portal

Protecting personal data and privacy is important to us. During registration we ask for the contact and billing information for your organisation. This will be used to establish a Company Manager account for the management of users of the service. The personal information entered by your Company Manager will be used in the creation of the e-learning accounts. The following minimum set of personal data is required to create the e-learning account; your title, first name, family name, company and email address. This information, and the transaction made when purchasing the training credits, forms a contractual agreement without which we cannot provide the service.

When you first log into the portal you will be prompted to confirm that all of the listed personal data is correct. You will be able to update and amend most of your personal data within the portal prior to taking the assessment. Once the course assessment has been taken the certificate will be generated, and for integrity reasons, requests to change data must be submitted to your Company Manager.

We give control over personal data to delegates and their Company Manager. Company Managers will have access to the personal data of delegates within their organisation only, this includes information on whether the assessment has been taken, passed or failed.

Use of anonymised data sets

As portal hosts Cranfield University may use anonymised data to for the improvement of the service. For example a particular question may have an abnormally high failure rate. By monitoring results in this way we are able to a make improvements where necessary.

We will never share your personal data, anonymised or otherwise with third parties outside of your organisation.
