We share personal information only with the service providers we use to operate our business. Each of these is a reputable company with its own privacy obligations. The main categories are:
Service providers are contractually required to process personal information only on our instructions and only for the purposes we have authorised.
We may also disclose personal information when required by law, court order, or legitimate legal process, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of STOA Institute, our delegates, our clients, or others.
STOA Institute operates globally and delivers programmes across EMEA, the GCC, and internationally. Depending on where you are located and where our service providers operate, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Republic of North Macedonia, the United Arab Emirates, or other jurisdictions. When we transfer personal data across borders, we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms including standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections.
Depending on where you live, you have certain rights over the personal information we hold about you. These include:
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@stoainstitute.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We will respond within 30 days. If we cannot fulfil your request, we will explain why.
If you believe we have mishandled your personal information, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority in your country.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to apply professional best practices.
We sometimes publish testimonials, quotes, and feedback from delegates who have attended our programmes. The underlying content is always authentic and approved by the delegate or their organisation before publication.
In cases where a delegate has given us permission to share their feedback but has asked not to be named, we may replace names and identifying details with generalised descriptions (for example, "Senior Director, GCC Financial Services" instead of a specific name and company). The feedback described is always real and always approved.
If you have given a testimonial or been featured in a case study and you want it removed or amended, email info@stoainstitute.com with "Testimonial Request" in the subject line. We will remove or amend the content within 14 business days of receiving a verified request.
Because AI is central to the programmes we deliver, we think it is important to be explicit about how we handle data in AI tools used during training:
STOA Institute is a B2B service directed at professionals and enterprise organisations. Our site and services are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at info@stoainstitute.com and we will delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our services, or the legal environment. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of stoainstitute.com after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise any of your rights, or want to report a concern, email us at info@stoainstitute.com with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. We will respond within 30 days.
