1. Data collection
We record data in the event of a query via one of our online forms or by e-mail or during the negotiation, conclusion, processing of a contract, and also during the reversal of a contract. This data is collected, stored and processed by us.
Your visit to our websites is recorded in a log. We essentially record the IP address used by your PC, the date and time, the browser type and the operating system of your PC and the webpages viewed by you. Personal identification is generally impossible for us and also not intended.
2. Use of data and supply to third parties
Personal data you provide us with, for example when booking a course or by e-mail (e.g. your name and address or e-mail address), are processed only for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you supplied us with the data. We only pass on your data to that credit institute commissioned with the payment for the processing of payments.
We also use and process your personal data for our own advertising purposes for similar goods or services which you had already ordered or booked from us. You can opt out of the use of your data for our own advertising purposes at any time. Send us your message with the subject line “Data protection” by e-mail to gdpr@ihmalta.com Your data shall then be deleted. We might need to create a new email and who is going to receive those emails?
We guarantee that we shall not forward your personal data to any third parties beyond this, unless we are required to do so by law or you have given us your consent in advance. Insofar as we use service providers for data processing, the contractual relationships are regulated in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act.

Personal data sent to us through our website is only stored as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was provided to us. Insofar as retention periods relating to commercial or tax law must be observed, the storage period for particular data may be as long as 10 years.
5. Customer account
If you open a customer account, you are giving your consent to allow your booking information such as your name, address, e-mail address, and bank details to be stored along with your user information (user name, password).
