Privacy Policy
CIPD Assessments is built for working professionals. We take a privacy-first approach to handling enquiries, briefs, and files—especially when workplace context is sensitive.
Effective date: 2026-03-02
On this page
A plain-English summary first, followed by detailed sections.
We do not sell personal data. We collect the minimum required to respond, quote, and deliver CIPD-focused support.
Privacy principles (how we operate)
This marketing surface is designed to be transparent: what we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and how you can request changes.
Confidential by design
Access controls and careful handling for briefs and workplace details.
Data minimisation
We only request what’s needed to scope and deliver the work.
Purpose-limited retention
We keep data only as long as necessary for delivery and legitimate needs.
Security-first operations
Safeguards to reduce accidental disclosure, misuse, or loss.
Overview
We use a privacy-first workflow suitable for workplace-sensitive contexts. We collect the minimum data required to respond to enquiries, provide quotes, and deliver CIPD-focused academic support.
CIPD-only focus
We operate as a CIPD academic writing support service. If your query is not CIPD-related, we may decline the request, and we will not retain unnecessary information.
Data we collect
Contact details, enquiry content, unit codes and deadlines, and any files you voluntarily provide (briefs, rubrics, draft excerpts).
Categories
- Identity and contact: name, email, optional phone/WhatsApp.
- Enquiry/quote details: level, unit code(s), word count, deadline, and your message.
- Files you provide: briefs, rubrics, draft excerpts, notes (only if you choose to share).
- Technical: basic logs for security and performance (e.g., request metadata).
Please avoid sharing special-category or unnecessary sensitive information in free-text fields. If workplace context is essential, share only what is required for the unit brief.
How we use your data
To respond to you, confirm scope, estimate timelines and pricing, deliver requested support, and improve service quality and security.
Typical purposes
- Respond to enquiries and provide accurate quotes.
- Confirm scope against your CIPD unit code(s) and assessment brief.
- Deliver requested support, edits, or writing aligned to learning outcomes.
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, and keep the service reliable.
Legal basis
We process data to perform a requested service, to communicate with you, to meet legal obligations where applicable, and for legitimate interests such as security and fraud prevention.
Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal data. We may use vetted service providers for hosting, email delivery, security monitoring, and payments—only as necessary to operate the service.
Service providers
We may use third-party providers for infrastructure, email, analytics/security monitoring, and payments. Providers only receive data necessary to perform their function, and we aim to use reputable vendors with appropriate safeguards.
Retention
We retain data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected for, plus limited periods for legal, audit, or dispute resolution needs.
Retention approach
We retain data for as long as it is needed to (a) respond and deliver, (b) maintain records for legitimate business purposes (such as fraud prevention), and (c) comply with legal obligations where applicable. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it where feasible.
Security
We apply administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect briefs and personal data, including access controls and secure handling of files.
Safeguards
- Access controls and least-privilege handling for files and briefs.
- Secure storage and transport measures (where available).
- Operational monitoring for abuse and suspicious activity.
- Process discipline for handling workplace-sensitive details.
Your rights
You can request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of your data, subject to legal and contractual constraints.
Requests
You can request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of your data by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity and may retain limited data where required by law or for legitimate dispute/audit purposes.
International transfers
If we use providers in other jurisdictions, we take steps to protect data using appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy periodically. The effective date will be posted at the top of this page.
