Upon receiving a valid request from a data subject, the responsible entity or organization takes appropriate steps to comply with the request in a timely manner, while considering any legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

Legal Basis for Processing

Blue Sky eLearn processes personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations, as outlined in the Data Protection Agreement (DPA) between the data controller and the data processor. The legal basis for processing personal data, as specified in the DPA and aligned with the privacy policy, are as follows:

• Consent: In certain situations, we rely on the explicit consent of the individual as the legal basis for processing their personal data. For example, when an individual voluntarily provides their personal information to receive marketing communications or participate in a survey, we will obtain their consent before processing their data. Consent may be withdrawn at any time, subject to applicable legal restrictions, as outlined in the DPA.
• Contractual Necessity: We process personal data when it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations with our customers or end users, as outlined in the DPA. This includes providing eLearning services, maintaining user accounts, delivering customer support, and fulfilling other services as agreed upon in our contractual agreements.
• Legitimate Interests: We process personal data based on our legitimate business interests, ensuring that these interests do not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of the individual, as set forth in the DPA. Our legitimate interests include improving and securing our services, maintaining system integrity, conducting market research, and enhancing the user experience. We carefully balance our legitimate interests with the protection of individual privacy, ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws and respecting user rights and expectations.
• Legal Compliance: We process personal data when required by applicable laws and regulations, or in response to lawful requests from public authorities, as stated in the DPA. This may include fulfilling our data protection obligations, responding to subpoenas or court orders, cooperating with law enforcement agencies, or exercising and defending our legal rights.

We diligently consider and document our legal basis for processing personal data, ensuring that our processing activities align with applicable data protection laws, regulations, and the provisions specified in the DPA. We prioritize the protection of individual rights and freedoms while fulfilling our obligations and pursuing our legitimate business interests.
