STX Academy - Privacy Notice

1. Introduction

The STX Academy Platform (“Platform”) enables STX Group B.V. (“STX”) to provide group-wide online training and course content offering to its employees. Most of the training content within the Platform is voluntary, however some limited training content is mandatory based on company policies.

To provide you with access to the Platform (and learning content) and manage the Platform for learning and development purposes, STX is required to process some of your personal data.

STX qualifies as the data controller in respect of how your personal data is processed on this Platform. The Platform is hosted and built on an e-learning solution provided by LearnWorlds Ltd. (“LearnWorlds”). LearnWorlds qualifies as a data processor in relation to the processing of your personal data. STX has entered into necessary contractual arrangements with LearnWorlds to ensure your personal data is processed in accordance with STX’ data protection standards. Your personal data will be stored by LearnWorlds on servers located within the European Economic Area (“EEA”), and will not be accessible to individuals outside the EEA.

This privacy notice focuses on how STX processes your personal data specifically in relation to your use of this Platform.

2. The collection and use of your personal data

The Platform allows you to explore a variety of training and learning content, which is relevant to your job function. Most of the training content within the Platform is voluntary, however some limited training content is mandatory based on company policies (such as the Code of Conduct training).

In all cases, STX will only process your personal data limited to what is necessary for the provision of the Platform. More specifically, the following data is processed:
• To make use of the Platform, you can automatically log-in with your corporate work details using Single sign-on (SSO). For log-in purposes, we will only process your username (comprising your first name and last name) and email address.
• After enrolment in training or learning courses, we will process necessary training progress data (such as course completion, course score, course time) for learning and development purposes only. Our Learning & Development team (“L&D team”) may use this data to identify areas of improvement in our training offering and adapt training content based on user needs.

In all cases, STX processes your personal data based on its legitimate interests in providing employees with a central learning and training platform and identifying areas of improvement to improve STX’ learning and development programs. In some instances, STX may process data to comply with its legal obligations in providing certain mandatory training content to employees.

We have put in place strict controls to ensure that your personal data is always protected adequately. Most importantly, your personal data will only be accessible to a limited group of individuals within the STX L&D team, as well as IT staff on a strict-need-to-know basis. Your individual data will not be made accessible to any other individuals outside these teams, such as HR or your managers.
The information collected via the Platform will not be utilized for any employee-level purposes or any other form of individual/monitoring control. To the extent any data is reviewed by the L&D team, this is merely for aggregate reporting purposes.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please submit your request to learninganddevelopment@stxgroup.com. You also have the right to submit a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can also exercise your data protection rights directly within the Platform through your user profile (such as requesting a copy of your personal data).
