This is the privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") for Glasgow International College (GIC) which is operated by Kaplan Glasgow Ltd, one of the group of companies comprising Kaplan International Colleges UK Limited ("KIC") and its subsidiaries, and part of the Kaplan family of educational companies.

This Privacy Policy describes how we treat personal data received about you when you visit the GIC  website or otherwise (the "Site"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, because by visiting or using the Site or contracting with us, you agree to its terms. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site, and not to the websites of other Kaplan companies.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any important changes by posting a notice on all Privacy Policy links. If you see a notice of change, please check the Privacy Policy, because your continued use of the Site after we post the change means you have agreed to the new terms.

Collection of your personal data

We collect your personal data when you enquire about our programmes or any other enquiry about the GIC or KIC, when you submit an application to study at GIC, when you request a meeting with a KIC employee, when you submit your answers to surveys, or when you order a GIC prospectus.

We and other Kaplan companies may also use your phone number, postal and email addresses to send you information about other education or training, and other services or products similar to those you have ordered from us, or to send you an invitation to solicit such information from our sibling Kaplan educational companies. If you do not wish us to send you this additional information, you can let us know by following the opt-out instructions that we include in every email, or by sending us notice of your preferences through the mechanisms listed in the section below entitled Your ability to choose.

Sharing your data

We will need to use your data to perform our obligations and exercise our rights under agreements made with you and to inform you of your application results and answer your enquiries.

If you have enrolled in our courses through an educational or career agent, we may share your data with your agent.

We will also need to share your personal data with the University of Glasgow. Such third parties are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Contact these companies or institutions directly for information about how they treat your personal data.

Otherwise, we will share your personal data only with the service providers and other Kaplan group companies (including companies outside the EU) who host or help us run the Site or fulfil your requests. These other companies may be supplied with or have access to your personally identifiable information solely for the purpose of providing these services to us or on our behalf.

We may also need to disclose your personal data to third parties when we, in our sole discretion, believe it is necessary to comply with the law, to enforce our user agreement or this Privacy Policy, or in connection with a sale or transfer of KIC business.

Your ability to choose

As mentioned above, we may use your telephone numbers, email or postal address to send you information on other services or products we or other Kaplan companies think might interest you. We also may share your data with other Kaplan companies. If you do not wish to receive such information from us or other Kaplan companies, or you do not wish us to share your data in this manner, you can let us know by emailing us at or sending your request by post to Privacy Enquiry (details below in Review and Correction).
