11. What about outsourcing by Tutorwiz Ltd?
It is possible that Tutorwiz Ltd will pass personal information to other organisations to assist it. This is not for the other organisations to use on their behalf but rather to process information on Tutorwiz Ltd’s behalf. This will be for the efficient and effective administration and running of the business and provision of the study programme for example for IT needs including for the purposes of establishing, developing and maintaining relevant databases including the data collection system and customer relationship management, but also for purposes such as book-keeping and accounting, printing and training. This might include the transfer of personal information outside of the European Union and if this is the case security measures will be taken to protect the integrity and security of the data.

12. What will Tutorwiz Ltd use personal information for?
Tutorwiz Ltd has day-to-day responsibility for the operation and interaction with parents and students. However, there will be times when for one reason or another Tutorwiz Ltd is not able to undertake a task and in so doing will make use of the personal information.
