Information we may collect
When you visit the DARESNI website, we may collect and process the following data about you, including "personal information" as defined by law:
Personal information collected by the DARESNI website is often limited to contact details and some necessary information about your work area and employment status but may contain other information that is required to provide a particular service that you have requested.
Sensitive, including the particular category of personal information, may include information about your ethnic origin, nationality, gender, membership of a trade union or association, employment status, sexual orientation, care responsibilities, number of children, and, in some cases, your socio-economic background. If you are under the age of 18, you must ensure that your parent permits us to provide sensitive information about yourself.
If you request a service for which government funding is available, you may have to answer specific additional questions, such as your age and your current education and employment status, so that we can assess whether you are eligible for that funding. By providing your information to the DARESNI website, you explicitly permit us to process your personal and sensitive data.
However, when we collect sensitive personal data through the DARESNI website, we will ask you for permission to use our data, and you can choose not to give us this permission if you wish. Where the provision of information is optional, this is made clear.
We handle all the information that we collect per this policy.
Cookie and users follow
A "cookie" is a small text file that is stored on the hard drive of your device when you visit a website. Read our Cookie Policy that contains details about the cookies used on the DARESNI website.
How do we use the information about you that we collect?
The information we receive and store about you is essentially used to enable us to provide our services to you. Besides, we may use some or all of the information about you for the following purposes:
When information about you is accessible to others
Occasionally we (or trusted third parties carefully selected by us) may send you information about our (or their) products, services, and activities. Before you receive such information, we will ask you if you wish to receive such information. If you confirm that you want to receive such information and your parent affirms to us that it is OK for you to receive such information, you agree to the use of your data (and, if applicable, sharing it with such trusted third parties) for that purpose. If you confirm that you do not wish to receive such information, we will not use your data, and we will not share it with such trusted third parties for that purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by email at Admin@daresni.net.
Where we store your personal information
All information you provide to us is stored, usually within the KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN or other parts of the European Economic Area (EEA), on secure servers hosted by third parties that offer hosting or other services to us or by us.
We store application data, including personal, sensitive data in electronic forms that are stored on our secure intranet. Printed copies of application forms are stored in lockable cupboards in a safe office environment.
Due to issues such as financial or technical considerations, the information you provide may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), which do not fall under the same data protection rules as in the KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN. We can do this because some business systems are hosted on servers outside the EEA, e.g., US, Switzerland, etc.
We fulfill our obligations under the AVG by ensuring that the information offers equivalent protection as if it were stored within the EEA. We do this by providing that there are appropriate safeguards for third parties who process your data outside the EEA. This is usually because the country benefits from an adequacy provision for GDPR purposes and, where appropriate, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the third party that contains model EU clauses or the third party works under EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.
Information security
We take all reasonable precautions to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information and to ensure that it is processed under this policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of data via the internet is not secure, and therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically. You acknowledge and agree that, despite our efforts to protect your personal information, there is a risk that others may attempt to intercept the personal information that you provide to us. The transfer of your data is entirely at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we use strict procedures and security functions to prevent unauthorized access. Where we have given you a password (or where you have chosen) so that you have access to certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.
Disclosure and sharing of your information
We will not disclose your personal information to third parties except when the data can be provided to a third-party company, such as tools for email newsletters, e.g. Mail Chimp or web agency, for the sole purpose of providing a service on behalf of the DARESNI website (if you, or your parent if you are a child, have consented).
Your data - your name address, contact details, etc. - will only be shared with partners or financiers who are contractually linked to the educational or training option you have requested. Where we should share it with a specific organization, we will ask for your consent (or, if you are a child, your parent's permission).
Your sensitive personal information, including particular category confidential information, regarding characteristics such as your gender, ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation is always requested voluntarily - you can choose not to say so - and diversity statistics collected through our monitoring systems are still reported anonymous.
We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so under a legal obligation and use external data for fraud prevention and credit risk mitigation, or if this would not infringe your rights, but is necessary and public interest.
Other than this, we will not share your information with other organizations without your permission.
Course information and links from third parties
The DARESNI website has ensured that the information on the DARESNI website is correct. However, no warranty is given, express or implied, and the DARESNI website does not accept any liability for errors or omissions. The DARESNI website is not responsible for how the information is used, how it is interpreted, or what trust is placed on it. We cannot guarantee that the information on the DARESNI website is suitable for a specific purpose. You should also bear in mind that the availability of training courses is subject to conditions applied by individual institutions at their discretion.
You can find links to third-party websites on the DARESNI website. These third websites must have their privacy policies that you must check before you provide personal information to them.
We are not responsible and do not accept any liability for the privacy policy or the content of such websites. The DARESNI website does not support any of the products or services of external organizations on its sites unless explicitly stated.
Your rights
You have the right to request details of the personal data and processing activities that we perform with your data through a Request for Subject Access. Such requests must be made in writing. No costs can be charged under the AVG except in minimal circumstances, which will be explained to you if applicable. More information about requesting a request and the procedure can be found on our request for access to the data page.
You have the following rights: (as introduced under the GDPR):
the right to request rectification of information that is inaccurate or outdated
the right to delete your data (known as the 'right to be forgotten')
the right to limit the way we handle and use your information, and
the right to request that your information be provided to you in a format that is secure and suitable for reuse (known as the 'right to portability');
rights concerning automated decision-making and profiling, including profiling for marketing purposes.
All these rights are subject to certain guarantees and limits or exceptions, and more information can be found in our Privacy Policy. To exercise any of these rights, you must contact the data protection officer at admin@daresni.net.
If you are not satisfied with how we have processed or treated your information, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Information Commissioner.
Freedom of information
The Freedom of Information provides public access to information available to the government. It does this in two ways:
Governments are required to publish certain information about their activities; and
Members of the public have the right to request information from the government.
The DARESNI website is not a public entity and therefore does not fall directly under the FOA. We will respond to requests for information from members of the public when providing information in response to such an investigation does not adversely affect the DARESNI website or its stakeholders. This is entirely at the discretion of the DARESNI website, and we are in no way forced by FOA to respond to such requests. All requests for freedom of information must be sent to the data protection officer at admin@daresni.net.
