Privacy Policy
The Keyskill Company UK Ltd is committed to protecting your privacy. Our objective is to provide members with a safe, secure and private environment. We have compiled this Privacy Policy so you know how we treat and protect your data. The Privacy Policy explains how all personal information collected via vetlogic.co.uk is used. Please read it in conjunction with The Keyskill Company UK Ltd’s Terms and Conditions as together they form the basis of our contract and commitment to you.
If we change this Privacy Document, we will notify you of the changed document in the same way as we notify changes to The Keyskill Company UK Ltd’s Terms and Conditions.
The term ‘you’ applies to all Users (members) of this website, including casual browsers and ‘free trial’ browsers.
These terms apply if you are an individual learner, student or employee of an Authorised Member. An Authorised Member of this website includes educational establishments, training providers, charities or businesses who pay a subscription to The Keyskill Company UK Ltd to access the content for the benefit of their members. Their members (Users), would include their staff, employees and the students who attend the establishment for study purposes. The terms also apply if you are an individual User such as a learner, student, employee or contributor and register as a member and pay your own subscription to access the content (very few members are individual Users).
1. The information we gather:
Users of this website need to be aware of their rights and how to exercise their rights.
The Keyskill Company UK Ltd collects information from you at registration. You provide your name, your email address, the name of the Organisation where you study, your status as a learner or educator, and your city/town and country. The details are available to you and can be changed if you notify us.
We request the name of the Organisation where you study so that we can identify whether the Organisation subscribes to vetlogic.co.uk.
We collect information from Users (members), via the learning management system integrated within the Website, vetlogic.co.uk. The system records individual’s assessment scores resulting from completing multiple choice questions and interactive games and it publishes each User’s results in their learning account. It also tracks the progress of a User over the website. The information results in a User being able to return to the website with the opportunity to resume at the last place viewed. Further information appears under the Cookies heading.
2. Sharing and the use of information
Contact details and email addresses: When you communicate with others through The Keyskill Company UK Ltd website, for example by email with other members (including contributors, tutors, employers, learners, students and employees), your name and email address becomes available to them.

We do not sell or give your contact details and email address to third parties. We do not use your contact details and email address for marketing purposes other than when communicating with Authorised Members and their Users.
User’s Test Results: If you are a User of the assessment activities, your test results may be available to your tutor/professor/employer/mentor, and other educational bodies.
User’s Progress: when Users use the Website they consent to their progress being tracked by the learning management system. This progress may be made available to a tutor/professor/employer/mentor, and educational bodies.

4. Cookies
A cookie is information stored on your computer by a website that you visit. Cookies do not contain personal or private data about you, but they can compile information about your browsing habits. For the most part, cookies enhance your browsing experience by keeping you from having to select the same options each time you visit a site. Different types of cookies provide different types of information. Some are needed to make the website work and we refer to them as Persistent cookies.

Third party cookies arise when visiting other links within Keyskill and they are set by companies other than Keyskill. Their Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy convey their own cookie policy. A third party, for example, Google Analytics, which provides anonymous statistical data which can assist us when analysing the effectiveness of our content.
We embed youtube videos into our content and provide links to youtube.com.

5. Marketing: we will not supply any personal data for commercial exploitation by a third party.
Please note that there may be instances where it is necessary for us to communicate with you for administrative or operational reasons.
6. Security
We employ best practice policies and procedures to ensure data security. We have security measures in place to protect our customer database and access to this database is restricted to ourselves, writers, and staff working for Authorised Members, and prospective Authorised Members, (usually this is a College, University or Training Organisation where you study), and our website hosting partner.
We employ appropriate use of encryption. We maintain our software and systems with security updates. We delete personal information after four years which should ensure access to the content for the full term of your studies providing your place of studies continues to subscribe to the website.
