How Layerbound handles personal information

The role Layerbound plays depends on how your personal information is being processed.

When you complete a Layerbound workflow

If you access a Layerbound link provided by a business, training provider, organisation, club or other Layerbound customer, that organisation will normally determine why your information is collected and how it is used.

In these circumstances:
- the organisation is normally the data controller; and
- Layerbound normally acts as a data processor on its behalf.

Layerbound processes the information submitted through the workflow in accordance with the organisation's instructions and our contractual and legal obligations.

The organisation using Layerbound is responsible for determining its lawful basis for collecting and using your information.

When Layerbound processes information for its own purposes

Layerbound may also act as a data controller where we determine how and why information is used.

This may include information relating to:
- Layerbound customers and prospective customers
- people who contact us directly
- account administrators
- website visitors
- billing and commercial relationships
- security, fraud prevention and service administration

Information we may collect

The information collected through Layerbound depends on the workflow configured by the organisation using our platform.

Information you provide through a Layerbound workflow

This may include:
- name
- email address
- telephone number
- postal address
- booking information
- appointment or class selections
- dates and times
- availability
- service requirements
- enquiry details
- quote-request information
- preferences
- application or enrolment information
- eligibility information
- previous qualifications or experience
- employment information
- employer or business details
- written responses
- uploaded documents or information
- cancellation or waiting-list information
- any other information requested by the organisation operating the workflow

Not every Layerbound workflow collects all of this information.

The organisation creating the workflow determines which information it asks you to provide.

Special category information

Some organisations may configure workflows that request information considered particularly sensitive under data-protection law, such as information relating to health, disability, ethnicity or other special category information.

Where this occurs, the organisation collecting the information is responsible for ensuring that it has an appropriate lawful basis and any additional legal condition required to process that information.

Layerbound processes such information on the organisation's behalf where necessary to provide the service.

Information collected automatically

When you access Layerbound, we may collect limited technical and operational information, including:
- date and time of access or submission
- browser type
- device information
- IP address
- technical logs
- error and security information
- basic usage information necessary to operate and protect the service

This information may be used to maintain security, diagnose technical issues, prevent abuse and operate Layerbound reliably.

Accounts

People completing public Layerbound workflows will not normally need to create a Layerbound account.

Businesses and organisations using the Layerbound administration platform may have authorised user accounts.

For account users we may process information such as:
- name
- business email address
- organisation
- account permissions
- login and security information
- activity relating to administration of the Layerbound service

Why information is processed

Where Layerbound acts as a processor, we process information so that the organisation using Layerbound can operate the workflow it has created.

Depending on the workflow, this may allow an organisation to:
- manage bookings or appointments
- manage class registrations and waiting lists
- respond to customer enquiries
- provide quotations
- assess applications or eligibility
- process learner or customer intake
- manage enrolment
- assess service requirements
- manage prospective customers or leads
- communicate with users about their request or booking
- provide services requested by the individual
- administer other business processes configured through Layerbound

Layerbound does not determine the organisation's purpose or lawful basis for these activities.

How Layerbound uses information as a controller

Where Layerbound acts as a controller, we may use personal information for purposes including:
- operating and administering the Layerbound service
- managing customer accounts
- providing customer support
- responding to enquiries
- managing contractual relationships
- invoicing and financial administration
- improving the reliability and performance of our platform
- monitoring and protecting the security of our systems
- preventing fraud, misuse and unauthorised access
- complying with legal and regulatory obligations
- establishing, exercising or defending legal claims

Depending on the circumstances, our lawful basis may include:
- performance of a contract
- taking steps before entering into a contract
- compliance with a legal obligation
- our legitimate interests in operating, securing and developing our business and services
- consent, where consent is required

Bookings, appointments and waiting lists

Layerbound may be used by organisations to manage bookings, classes, appointments, reservations or waiting lists.

Where you make a booking using Layerbound, information such as your name, contact details, selected service, class, appointment, date or time may be provided to the organisation offering that service.

The organisation is responsible for:
- delivering the booked service
- determining its cancellation and refund arrangements
- contacting you about the booking where appropriate
- determining how long booking records should be retained

Layerbound provides the technology used to collect and manage the booking information.
