8. Visitors and Clients in the UK and European Economic Area

If you are located in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies to our processing of your personal data. This section explains how.

8.1 Who is responsible for your data

AbiBin Academy LLP is the data controller for personal data collected through this website. We are established in Kochi, India, and we do not have an establishment in the UK or the EEA. Our contact details are in section 13.

8.2 Our lawful basis for processing

We rely on the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate interests — responding to a business enquiry you have sent us, and sending you a document you have asked us to send. Our interest is in replying to people who contact us about our services; we consider this is what you expect when you complete the form.
• Consent — where you have opted in to marketing communications. You can withdraw consent at any time, and withdrawing it does not affect processing carried out beforehand.
• Performance of a contract — where we are delivering services to you or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Legal obligation — where we must retain records to meet accounting, tax or other statutory requirements.

8.3 International transfers of your data

Personal data you provide is transferred to and processed in India, where we operate. Neither the UK nor the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision covering India, so we do not rely on adequacy for these transfers.

When you contact us through this website, you are providing your details directly to us in India, rather than to an entity in the UK or the EEA that then passes them on. Your data is stored and handled in India and protected by the security measures described in section 5, and by our obligations under Indian data protection law.

Where we process personal data on behalf of a client — for example while delivering a project — the safeguards that apply to that data are agreed in writing with the client before work begins, as part of the engagement contract. If you would like to know what applies to a specific engagement, contact us using the details in section 13.

8.4 How long we keep it

Enquiry and brochure-download records are retained for 24 months from your last contact with us, after which they are deleted unless you have become a client. Client records are retained for the duration of the engagement and for 7 years afterwards, to meet accounting and statutory requirements.

8.5 Your right to complain

In addition to the rights set out in section 7, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk). In the EEA it is the data protection authority in the country where you live or work. We would ask you to raise the matter with us first so that we have the chance to put it right.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies are small files placed on your device that help us analyze website traffic and customize content.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website with a new effective date.
