Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy regulates the use by BIM Academy of the personal information you provide when using this website.

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

We are committed to the online privacy of all its users. This policy statement is designed to give a clear explanation of BIM Academy’s data processing practices.

We will not collect any information about individuals, except where it is specifically and knowingly provided by them. Examples of such information are:

  • Your name
  • Your address
  • Your email address
  • Your telephone number
  • Your occupation

In some cases, we may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type and we may share non-personal aggregate statistics (group data) about our website visitors’ traffic patterns with partners or other parties. However, we do not collect, sell or share any information about individual users.

Where we store your personal data

All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers.

Uses made of this information

We use information held about you in the following ways: to ensure that content from our website is presented in the most effective manner for users, to allow you to participate in interactive features of our website and to contact you in order to send you information you have asked us to provide or which we think may be useful to you.

Disclosure of your information

We will never disclose your information to anyone outside of BIM Academy except where we have your consent; where we are required or permitted to do so by law; to other companies who provide a service to us; or to any successors in title to our business.

Information may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Whenever we transfer information to countries outside of the EEA we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

Cookies

These are small files that we send to and store on your computer so that we may recognise it as a unique machine the next time you visit our site. There are three reasons for doing this.

  1. To keep track of your information for your convenience
  2. To help us to optimise your online experience by altering our content depending on your particular needs or browsing patterns
  3. To help us to understand the size of our audience and their traffic patterns within our site.

Automatically gathered data

The information gathered automatically by our system, such as your computer’s IP address, the kind of browser you are using and a record of your navigation through our sites – may be used by BIM Academy so that we can understand how to make our sites convenient and useful to our audience.

This Privacy Policy is intended to help you to understand how any information that you share with us might be used. If you feel concerned about any of these uses, you might elect not to participate in certain services, features or products that we offer. We will never collect any personal information about you without your knowledge, so the decision whether or not to share this information is entirely up to you.

Opting out

You have the ability to terminate email correspondence from us at any time. You will either be given the chance to opt-in to direct mailing when you disclose your email address to us, or you can simply reply to our email, typing ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject line.

If you feel concerned about the cookies that are sent between our computers and yours, you may, through your Web browser, either choose to reject them automatically, or have your computer prompt you before accepting them. Please note, however, that some of our features and services depend on the use of cookies. Therefore, you will be unable to take advantage of those features if you choose not to accept cookies.

Other websites

The website may contain links to other sites which are outside our control and not covered by this policy. The operators of these sites may collect information from you that will be used by them in accordance with their policy, which may differ from ours.

Changes to this policy

This policy replaces all previous versions and is correct as at March 2020. We reserve the right to change the policy at any time. Any changes to this policy will be posted here.

Questions, comments and requests regarding this Privacy Policy are welcomed and should be addressed to BIM Academy, Cooper’s Studios, 14-18 Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 3NN, United Kingdom or by contacting [email protected].
