This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have in relation to your personal data. It applies to all visitors to https://trainthetrainersintl.org/, applicants, trainees, fellowship and trainers-pool registrants, and participants in internships and job programs.

  • communicate with you about your application, registration, or enquiries;
  • deliver training services (online and face-to-face), issue certificates and manage attendance;
  • process payments and issue receipts/invoices (via third-party payment processors);
  • comply with legal, accreditation, and reporting obligations;
  • send marketing and event updates if you have given consent; and
  • improve our website, offerings and user experience through anonymised analytics.

4. Legal basis for processing

  • Legal obligation: to maintain records, accounting, or comply with regulations.
  • Legitimate interests: to operate and improve our services (balanced with your rights).
  • Consent: for marketing communications and optional services where we ask for your explicit consent.

5. Sharing & disclosures

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share information with:

  • Accrediting & partner institutions: for certification, validation or regulatory requirements;
  • Service providers: e.g., cloud hosting, email platforms, CRM systems, payment processors — always under contracts that require confidentiality and security;
  • Legal & regulatory authorities: when required by law or to protect our rights, property, safety or that of others;
  • Publicly: aggregated or anonymised data (which cannot reasonably identify an individual).

6. Payments & third-party processors

T3I uses reputable payment service providers to process money transfers and card payments. Payment card details are handled directly by the payment provider and are not stored on our servers. Please review the privacy policy of the payment provider when making payments.

7. Cookies & tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate essential features, remember preferences, and collect analytics. You can control cookie settings in your browser; however, disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the following rights:

  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request erasure (in certain circumstances);
  • object to or restrict processing;
  • receive a machine-readable copy of your data (data portability);
  • withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

10. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data (encryption in transit, access controls, secure hosting). However, no system is completely secure — if a breach occurs that poses a high risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.

11. International transfers

Data we collect may be processed or stored in countries different from your own. When we transfer data internationally we put in place safeguards (e.g. adequate contracts, standard contractual clauses, or rely on local laws) to protect your information.

12. Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove the information.

13. Third-party links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites (partners, social networks). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites — please review their privacy policies before providing personal data.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will post a prominent notice and update the “Last updated” date above.
