Data processed:
Email address; name if supplied; the content of the message; any information voluntarily included in the message or attachment; and ordinary email metadata such as date and time.
Purpose:
To receive the enquiry, provide the information specifically requested, answer follow-up questions, and administer the communication.
Legal basis:
GDPR Article 6(1)(b) where the communication is necessary to take steps at the person’s request before entering into a course or participation arrangement; otherwise GDPR Article 6(1)(f), based on the legitimate interest in responding to genuine enquiries and administering DEEP BLUE communications.

The correspondence is deleted when it is no longer needed for the enquiry and no later than 90 days after the enquiry is closed, unless the communication becomes part of a separate course registration/contract record or must be retained to comply with law or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
4. Technical website and server-log data
The hosting infrastructure may automatically process limited technical data needed to deliver and secure the website, such as IP address, access time, requested page, browser/device information, referrer and security/error logs. The purpose is to operate the site, maintain availability, detect abuse and investigate technical incidents. The legal basis is the controller’s legitimate interest under GDPR Article 6(1)(f) in providing a secure and functional website.
Server-log retention: 100 days. Logs should not be retained longer than necessary for these purposes unless a security incident or legal obligation requires longer retention.
