GDPR requires data processing to be lawful, fair and transparent.

Learn Skills collects personal information solely for the purpose of providing the services we offer and for billing purposes. We endeavour to provide full transparency as to the purpose, retention, transfer and use of such data, for example, in order to process and validate domain registrations there may be a requirement to collect additional personal information such as CRO details or proof or etc. This is a requirement of the registry in question, and that data is then forwarded to the registry by Learn Skills as part of the application process.

We do not share your personal information with third parties unless you have consented to it as required for the purpose of registering for any products we re-sell (such as domain registrations and SSL certificates). In those instances we currently have contractual agreements in place that ensure the third party upholds its GDPR obligations with regard to data security and privacy.

It prevents anyone else reading your personal and sensitive information while your transaction is being processed.
