General Privacy Notice

Updated 9th April 2021

This General Privacy Notice explains how your personal data is used in connection with your interactions with Lumina Learning and your use of the Lumina Platform, your Lumina Account and your Participant Profiles.

If you use our other services that are not covered by this Notice, we may hold additional data about you that is used for other purposes. Please consult our other privacy notices for details.

About Us

Reference to “Lumina Learning, we, us, our” in this Notice refers to Lumina Learning Limited (registered in England and Wales, Company Number 07021544), unless you are informed that a different Lumina Learning entity is gathering your data. We are committed to treating your data fairly and transparently. We encourage you to contact us if you have any questions about this Notice.

About Your Interactions with Us and Your Use of the Lumina Platform

You are most likely to interact with us via the “Lumina Platform”, which means our website located at https://luminalearning.com and our mobile apps. The Lumina Platform provides a way for you to interact with our services. Some features of the Lumina Platform require you to create a Lumina Account and Participant Profiles which hold your personal data.

You may also interact with us outside of the Lumina Platform, such as at one of our events, via email or via message submitted to our helpdesk.

The Lumina Platform allows you to interact with other users of the platform, who may be individuals or organisations. Other users can ask you to share data about yourself and complete tasks, such as questionnaires about yourself and others. After you complete a task, the other user may give you access to resources based on the task. These other users are not part of Lumina Learning and they control any data that you choose to share with them. If you have questions about how another user uses your data, please contact them directly.
