We are a company that helps people and companies find the right education for their needs through online services, conferences, open days, exhibitions, directories and marketing. When you use our services, you share certain information with us. Such information may constitute personal data, i.e., information that concerns you and that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how it is used, who we share the information with and what rights you have regarding your information.
If you do not want to provide personal information with us, an alternative is to provide fictitious information, for example by using a fictitious name when you register. In that case, keep in mind that you must at least provide enough information for us to be able to contact you to send you login details, information about education, learning offers, etc. In order to provide some of our services, it is necessary for us to access your correct personal information.
This Privacy Notice covers information we collect from you through our Site. Some of our Site’s functionality can be used without revealing any Personal Data, but for features or Services related to the Content Offerings, Personal Data is required. In order to access certain features and benefits on our Site, you may need to submit, or we may collect, "Personal Data" (i.e., information that can be used to identify you and which may also be referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information”). Personal Data can include information such as your name, email address, IP address, and device identifier, among other things. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personal Data you submit to Intellectual Holdings. Inaccurate information may affect your ability to use the Site, the information you receive when using the Site, and our ability to contact you. For example, your email address should be kept current because that is one of the primary manners in which we communicate with you.
We collect two types of information:
Information that you provide to us
Information we receive when you use our services
Our sites and our services are not intended for people under the age of 13, and we will not knowingly collect information about people under the age of 13.
In order for you to be able to use our services, we collect information that you provide to us. For example, most of our services require that you, as a prospective student or training buyer, create an account with us. To create an account with us, you need to fill in your name, telephone number and e-mail address. While you use our services, we also receive additional information from you, for example about what you want to study and where, and any personal information that is written in the chats you participate in. If you contact us, for example via customer services, we also collect information about you that you provide to us and that is needed in order to handle your request.
We consider that the legal bases for using your personal information as set out in this Privacy Notice are as follows:
Our use of your personal information is necessary to perform our obligations under any contract with you (for example, to comply with the Terms of Use of our Site which you accept by browsing our website and/or to comply with our contract to provide Services to you, your academic institution, your employer, or other organisation that may be providing you with access to our Services); or

Consent, to send you certain communications or where you submit certain information to us, or where required to rely upon consent by local law.
Which legal basis applies to a specific activity will depend on the type of personal information used and the context in which it is being used.
If we rely on our (or another party’s) legitimate interests for using your personal information, we will undertake a balancing test to ensure that our (or the other party’s) legitimate interests are not outweighed by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of the personal information.
We may process your personal information in some cases for marketing purposes on the basis of your consent (which you may withdraw at any time as described below).
If we rely on your consent for us to use your personal information in a particular way, but you later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by visiting your profile page and clicking the box to remove consent and we will stop doing so. If you withdraw your consent, this may impact the ability for us to provide some of our Services to you.
When you use our services, we collect information about which service you have used, how you have used it and when you have been logged in. We can, for example, see which of our websites you have visited and which education providers or education programs and subjects you have registered an interest in. This is in order to be able to provide you with information about education programs within your areas of interest but also to be able to give you a better user experience.
We can also see what kind of device - computer, mobile, tablet, etc. - that you have used and information from the device itself such as IP address, language settings, browser settings, time zone, operating system, platform, screen resolution and geographical location.

You and Intellectual Holdings agree to submit to binding arbitration any and all disputes,claims,or controversies of any kind,whether based on statute,regulation,constitution,common law,equity,or any other legal basis or theory,and whether pre-existing,present,or future,that arise out of or relate to our Services,these Terms,and / or any other relationship or dispute between you and us,including without limitation (i) the scope,applicability,or enforceability of these Terms and / or this arbitration provision,and (ii) relationships with third parties who are not parties to these Terms or this arbitration provision to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (each a “ Claim,” and collectively the “ Claims ” ).
Any and all Claims shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “ AAA Rules ” ), as amended,in effect at the time arbitration is initiated. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org,and are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between this arbitration provision and the AAA Rules, such inconsistency shall be resolved in favour of this provision. If you decide to initiate arbitration, you agree to pay the initiation fee of £200 (or the amount otherwise required by the AAA Rules),and we agree to pay the remaining arbitration initiation fee and any additional deposit required by AAA to initiate your arbitration. We will pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding, including the arbitrator’s fees;however,other fees,such as attorney’s fees and expenses of travel to the arbitration, shall be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules and applicable law. We will pay all costs associated with any arbitration that we commence. A single, neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules shall decide all Claims.
The arbitrator shall be an active member in good standing of the bar for any state in the continental United States and shall be either actively engaged in the practice of law for at least five years or a retired judge. The arbitrator shall honour claims of privilege recognized at law. Unless inconsistent with applicable law,and except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall bear the expense of its respective attorney, expert, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. Any arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the federal judicial district of your residence,and you will be given the opportunity to attend the proceeding and be heard. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any country or state that has jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including,without limitation, any pleadings,briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of governmental agencies.
Neither you nor Intellectual Holdings may act as a class representative, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants,with respect to any Claim. The Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and / or Intellectual Holdings individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. Accordingly, you and we agree that the AAA Supplementary Rules for Class Arbitrations do not apply to our arbitration. This arbitration provision and the procedures applicable to the arbitration contemplated by this provision are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any state law that may be applicable.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or us from seeking action by federal,state,or local government agencies. You and we also have the right to exercise self-help remedies,such as set-off, or to bring qualifying claims in small claims court so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class,non-representative) basis. In addition,you and we retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional or ancillary relief,including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary in junctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with any of these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in this provision.
A court may sever any portion of this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Section that it finds to be unenforceable, except for the prohibitions on any Claim being handled on a class or representative basis, and the remaining portions of this arbitration provision will remain valid and enforceable. No waiver of any provision of this Section will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms.
THIS BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS,INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION,THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL,THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM,AND THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE AAA RULES. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR INTELLECTUAL HOLDINGS WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
We reserve the right to revise the Terms at our sole discretion at any time. Any revisions to the Terms will be effective immediately upon posting by us. For any material changes to the Terms, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of such changes,via a banner on the website, email notification, another method, or combination of methods. In all cases,your continued use of the Services after publication of such changes, with or without notification,constitutes binding acceptance of the revised Terms
If it turns out that a particular provision of these Terms is not enforceable,this will not affect any other terms. If you do not comply with these Terms, and we do not take immediate action,this does not indicate that we relinquish any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).
Our Content Providers and integrated service providers are third party beneficiaries of the Terms and may enforce those provisions of the Terms that relate to them.
