Privacy Policy
D365 Training is operated by Viscontis Limited, Canada Street, SE16 6BH, London, UK. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use this site, why we collect it, and how we protect it, in line with UK GDPR.
What we collect
We collect personal data in two places on this site:
- Newsletter sign-up: your email address, and optionally your first name, when you subscribe to certification and blog updates.
- Contact form: your name, email address, and the message you write, when you get in touch with us or one of our writers.
Cookies
This site does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we don't set any cookies of our own to profile visitors. That's why you won't see a cookie consent banner here — under UK GDPR and PECR, banners are only required for non-essential cookies.
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may set a strictly necessary security cookie (for example, to distinguish real visitors from bots) and may collect basic, aggregated technical logs, such as IP address and browser type, for security and performance purposes. These are exempt from consent requirements because the site cannot function securely without them. If that ever changes, for example if we add analytics or advertising cookies, we'll update this policy and add a consent banner.
Why we collect it, and our legal basis
- Newsletter: to send you the confirmation email and, once confirmed, certification guides and blog updates you asked for. Legal basis: consent — we use a double opt-in process, and you can withdraw consent at any time (see below).
- Contact form: to respond to your message. Legal basis: consent and our legitimate interest in answering enquiries sent to us directly.
How we store your data
Newsletter subscriber data (email, first name, subscription status and consent timestamp) is stored in Microsoft Azure Table Storage. Confirmation and newsletter emails are sent through Azure Communication Services. Contact form messages are not stored in a database — they are relayed directly to our team's inbox by email via Azure Communication Services, with your address set as the reply-to. All processing happens on Microsoft Azure infrastructure in the UK region.
How long we keep it
Newsletter data is kept for as long as you remain subscribed, and is deleted when you unsubscribe. Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry, following our normal business email retention practice.
Who we share it with
We don't sell or rent your personal data. It's processed by our infrastructure providers — Microsoft (Azure Table Storage, Azure Communication Services, Microsoft 365) and Cloudflare (site hosting) — solely to operate the newsletter and contact form on our behalf.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request erasure of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Object to or restrict processing
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
- Complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, which removes you immediately. For any other request, or general questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@d365training.com.
