  1. PURPOSES OF PROCESSING

At Seium, we process personal data to:
a) Manage information requests and contact enquiries (forms, email, chat).
b) Manage enrolments, contracting and delivery of training services, access to the campus, academic tracking, and the issuance of certificates/diplomas (where applicable).

e) Ensure security and fraud prevention, protect the platform, manage access control and technical records.
f) Comply with applicable legal obligations.

  1. LAWFUL BASIS

Depending on the case, we rely on:

  • Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (enrolment, campus access, support).

  • Consent (newsletter, non-essential cookies, certain communications).

  • Compliance with legal obligations (tax/accounting, responding to official requests).

  • Legitimate interests (service security, fraud prevention, operational improvements, always balancing your rights).

  1. CATEGORIES OF DATA

We may process:

  • Identification and contact details: first name, surname, email, phone number, address (where applicable).

  • Billing details: tax ID, company name, registered address, payment history.

  • Academic and platform usage data: enrolled courses, progress, assessments, attendance (if applicable), certificates issued.

  • Technical data: IP address, session identifiers, logs, device/browser information (depending on configuration).

As a general rule, we do not request special categories of data (health data, political opinions, etc.). If exceptionally required, we will provide specific information and obtain the relevant lawful basis.

  1. SOURCE OF THE DATA

  • Data provided directly by the user (forms, enrolment, communications).

  • Data generated through use of the platform (progress, access logs, technical records).

  1. RECIPIENTS (DISCLOSURES AND PROCESSORS)

  • With banks/payment gateways to process payments.

  • With public authorities where required by law.

We will not share data with third parties for their own marketing purposes unrelated to Seium without a valid lawful basis.

  1. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

If any of our providers are located outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards will be applied (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or other measures required by law).

  1. RETENTION PERIODS

  • Enquiries: for as long as needed to handle the request and afterwards for the applicable legal period or as necessary to defend against claims.

  • Enrolments/contractual relationship: for the duration of the relationship and thereafter for statutory retention periods (tax/accounting) and limitation periods.

  • Security logs: for the strictly necessary period for security and compliance purposes.

If you believe your rights have not been properly addressed, you may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).

  1. SECURITY MEASURES

Seium applies reasonable technical and organisational measures (access control, encryption where applicable, logging, backups, internal policies) to protect information.
