How MBAVerse uses the details you give us

Who is responsible

MBAVerse (“we”) is the data controller. Questions and requests: [email protected].

What we collect and why

• Brochure and course-details requests. Your email address, and optionally your name, phone number and country, plus the course you asked about and the page you were on. We use these to send what you requested and to follow up about that programme. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding to an enquiry you made.
• Contact messages. Name, email, phone and your message, used to answer you. Legal basis: steps you ask us to take before any contract.
• Applications. The application form collects your name, email, phone, country, the route you chose and the background you describe. Admissions use these to assess eligibility and make an offer. Legal basis: steps you ask us to take before a contract. We also record that an Apply button was clicked on a course page, with a one-way hash of your IP address for fraud control.
• Email verification. Before sending anything, we check that an address is deliverable using Kickbox. The address is sent to Kickbox for that purpose only.
• Site measurement. Anonymous page-view counts and, where enabled, Google Search Console and Analytics data. No advertising cookies are set.

Follow-up emails

If you request details of an MBA programme we may send a short series of follow-up emails about that programme. These are limited to two emails in any seven-day period, are sent only on weekdays in UK working hours, and stop as soon as you apply or unsubscribe. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe link and the standard List-Unsubscribe header so your mail client can stop them too. Manage this at /unsubscribe using the link from any email.

Who we share data with

Processors acting on our instructions only: Amazon Web Services (email delivery, EU region), Kickbox (address verification), our hosting provider, and our application portal. We do not sell data. If you enrol, your details are shared with the partner university that awards the MBA, for registration and certification.

How long we keep it

Enquiry records are kept for 24 months from your last interaction, then deleted. Unsubscribe requests are kept indefinitely as a suppression record so we do not email you again. Email delivery logs are kept for 12 months.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, correction, erasure, or restriction, and you can object to follow-up emails at any time. Email [email protected]; we respond within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
