The information we collect

CRNCC only collect your personal data on behalf of and as directed by the Department of Health and Social Care. It collects both direct and indirect information and this is further explained below:

Direct information

Registered users on NIHR Learn (whether through automatically eligible accounts or manual registration access request) are stored within the system, along with a record of their learning and courses completed. If you give us information on behalf of someone else, you confirm that the other person has appointed you to act on his/her behalf and has agreed that you can.

Indirect information

CRNCC collect information directly and indirectly. When you use NIHR Learn we use technology to collect information indirectly - such as your internet address. This is commonplace across all internet services to enable the investigation of issues such as malicious use. This information is then kept in our internet access logs.

One indirect way we collect information from you is by using cookies. Cookies are small files of information that save and retrieve information about your visit to our site, such as how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site and what information was of interest to you. This information is collected for a number of reasons, for example, to help develop the website and associated services.

The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. If you are uncomfortable about the use of cookies, you can disable them by changing the settings in the preferences or options menu in your internet browser. However, disabling cookies may affect our ability to provide services to you; if certain cookies are disabled you may not be able to access the service.

The only indirect data stored on NIHR Learn will be cookie ID, IP address or device identifier information that the system collects when you access and navigate the system.
