What information do we collect?
We collect information that you provide when you create an account through us, when you contact us directly, either by email, over the phone or by writing to us, when you complete an offline application form, or when you interact with us on social media channels.
The information that we collect from you may include your name, address, email address, telephone number and Details Of Membership including your study details.

We use Google Analytics on this website. Google Analytics uses a set of cookies to collect information and report site usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google. ‘_ga’, the main cookie used by Google Analytics, enables a service to distinguish one visitor from another and lasts for 2 years. Any site that implements Google Analytics, including Google services, uses the ‘_ga’ cookie. Each ‘_ga’ cookie is unique to the specific property, so it cannot be used to track a given user or browser across unrelated websites. The data is accessible by Google, however.

How long do we keep your data?
