This Privacy Policy describes how Young Investor Week ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information about you when you visit our website at https://younginvestorweek.com/ (the "Site") and use the services we offer, including the Young Investor Club (collectively, the "Services"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in an open and transparent manner, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
This policy applies to all visitors, users, parents, guardians, schools, and any other parties who access or use the Site ("you"). By using our Site and Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
Young Investor Week is a national initiative in the United Kingdom, operated as a joint delivery partnership between the Diverse Leaders Network (DLN) and Ultra Education CIC. Our mission is to connect the education sector with the innovation ecosystem, empowering young people with financial literacy, leadership skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
For the purposes of data protection law, Young Investor Week acts as the data controller in respect of the personal information collected through this Site. If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your personal data, you can reach us at: [email protected]
We collect personal information in three main ways: information you provide directly to us, information we collect automatically as you use the Site, and information received from third parties.
When you interact with our Site and Services, you may provide us with the following categories of personal information:
We collect this information when you register for the Young Investor Club, sign up for event updates, apply for facilitator training, or contact us directly. Please note that we do not store your full payment card details on our systems; all payment transactions are handled securely by our third-party payment processor.
When you visit our Site, we may automatically collect certain technical and usage data about your device and browsing behaviour. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect this information. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie consent banner on our Site or by adjusting your browser settings.
We use the personal information we collect to provide and improve our Services, to communicate with you, and to comply with our legal obligations. The key purposes for which we process your data include:
Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data (for example, for marketing communications), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, and the applicable legal requirements. When your data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
Under UK data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, the right to request correction of any inaccurate data, and the right to request erasure of your data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it. You also have the right to object to processing, the right to request restriction of processing, and the right to data portability.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one calendar month, in accordance with our obligations under the UK GDPR. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk/.
Our Services, including the Young Investor Club, are designed for children and young people. We take the privacy of children very seriously. We collect personal information about children only with the verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will take prompt steps to remove that information from our systems.
Our Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyse Site traffic. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period). You may decline non-essential cookies through the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit to the Site. Please note that declining certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
