Here at GEMS Education (“gemseducation.com”, “we” or “us”), we take your privacy seriously. As educators we know the importance of trust. We have created this privacy policy so you know how we collect, use and store any personal information you give us.
By using the gemseducation.com site or any GEMS school or GEMS Education website, including signing up for any newsletters or feeds, you are agreeing to be bound by our terms and conditions which include this privacy policy. Please take the time to read them and note that they may change from time to time. If they do you can always find an up-to-date version here on this page.
We will comply with the privacy laws of the country we are contacting you in. But, regardless of legislation we will always aim to be relevant and respectful if you have given us consent to contact you. If at any time you don’t feel we’ve lived up to this, please let us know straight away by contacting us.
1.1 What information do we gather?

This policy explains how we use personal information you provide to us. ‘Personal information’ is information which identifies you or another person, or is capable of doing so.
1.2 Password and confidentiality
If you are provided with a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures for a registration-only section of the website, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and user name for the site and you are responsible for all activities that are carried out under them. We do not have the means to check the identities of people using the site and we will not be liable where your password or user name is used by someone else. You agree to contact us immediately regarding any unauthorised use of your password or user name of which you become aware. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion, you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms or the terms and conditions of use of the website.
1.3 How we use information
We use information held about you in the following ways:
We won’t keep hold of your personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary or required by law.
1.4 Will we share your information with anyone else?
Yes if…
We won’t rent or sell your details to any other organisation or individual. We may share some broader statistics and customer profiling information with third parties and other parts of GEMS Education – but we’ll keep it anonymous, so you won’t be identifiable from that data.
1.5 Where we store and process information
The information we collect from you is partly stored on our servers in the UK and partly stored on our servers in the United States and India. Your data may be transferred, stored outside the UK and the European Union, including in the United Arab Emirates and countries which do not have data privacy laws as strong as those in the European Union, and may also be processed by people operating outside the European Union who work for us or one of our suppliers. By submitting information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing across national borders and entities as needed to provide you with the service you have asked from us. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
1.6 Information security
If you provide us with personal data over the Internet, you should be aware that data transmission via this medium cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we will take all reasonable efforts to protect such personal data, you acknowledge that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any personal data provided by these means and you provide it to us at your own risk. Once received, we have appropriate technical and organisational security measures in place to protect the data that resides on our servers. However, we do not warrant the security of our servers, nor do we warrant that the information will be completely secure or not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet.
1.7 How you can access your information
You are entitled to be told by us whether we or someone else on our behalf is processing your personal information; what personal information we hold; details of the purposes for the processing of your personal information; and details of any third party with whom your personal information has been shared.
To do this we may charge a small admin fee for providing this information. And we may request proof of your identity before we disclose such information to you so we can prevent unauthorised access. Just write to us:
1.8 Consent
By submitting the Information to us, you consent to our collection, storing and processing of this information in accordance with this privacy policy. Any changes to our privacy policy will be posted on the website so that you are always aware of what information we collect and how we use it.
