C. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use essential cookies and, where configured, analytics or other technologies to operate, secure, measure, and improve our website. See our Cookie Policy for further details.

We may use personal information for legitimate, disclosed purposes such as:

• Responding to enquiries and communications.
• Evaluating partnership and collaboration requests.
• Administering programmes, events, applications, or services that we offer.

• Providing updates about requested services or activities.
• Improving our website, content, and user experience.
• Maintaining website security and preventing misuse.
• Meeting applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations.
• Sending promotional communications where permitted and, where required, with your consent.

We will not use personal information for materially unrelated purposes without an appropriate lawful basis or any required consent.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain valid consent before processing personal information for the relevant purpose. Where another lawful basis is available, we will rely on that basis as permitted by law.

You may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, subject to applicable legal requirements and the consequences explained when consent is requested. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

We may share information, where necessary and lawful, with:

• Hosting providers, IT vendors, and website maintenance providers.
• Email, communications, analytics, and customer relationship management providers, where used.

We do not authorise service providers to use personal information for purposes outside their permitted services and contractual obligations.

We do not sell personal information as a standalone commercial offering.

Any additional disclosure or use will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the disclosures made to you.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to requests, delivering services, maintaining appropriate records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Retention periods depend on the nature of the information, the relevant activity, and applicable legal requirements.

When information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it, or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and misuse.

No website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore encourage users to exercise appropriate care when transmitting information online.

Where applicable law requires notification of a personal data breach, we will follow the relevant requirements.

Our website may contain links to external websites, social media platforms, embedded content, or third-party services. These services may operate under their own privacy policies and practices.

We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party websites. Please review their policies before sharing information with them.

• Request information about the personal data we process about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request erasure or deletion where legally available.
• Withdraw consent where applicable.
• Raise a complaint or grievance concerning our handling of personal information.
• Nominate another person or exercise additional rights where provided by applicable law.

To exercise an applicable right, contact us using the details in Section 15. We may need to verify your identity and may retain certain records where legally required.

Our website may relate to academic and educational initiatives. We do not intend to collect personal information from children in circumstances where such collection is prohibited or requires consent or safeguards that have not been implemented.

Where applicable law requires parental or guardian consent or additional protections, we will implement the required measures before processing children's personal information.

Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided information inappropriately may contact us to request review and, where appropriate, deletion.

Depending on our service providers and operational arrangements, information may be processed or stored in locations outside your state or country. Any international transfer will be subject to applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards, where required.

Where permitted, we may send updates about PropelX initiatives, programmes, events, or relevant opportunities. You can opt out of promotional emails using the unsubscribe mechanism provided or by contacting us.

We may still send essential service-related or legally required communications.
