PLASA collects personal information when you apply for our certification and training.

The information provided via your application will be given to the relevant assessment centre, who will comply with data protection legislation. Your information is stored for five years from your last assessment.
PLASA also collects information when you become a member. This information enables us to verify your business and set up contractual agreements across our membership services and commercial divisions: PLASA Media and PLASA Events. We will not store this information any longer than necessary and we will keep this information up to date. We are processing this information on the basis of a contract for membership.
PLASA uses Sagepay for card payments and GoCardless for direct debit payments. Both companies comply by their own comprehensive privacy policies which can be viewed on their respective websites. This keeps your bank and card details safe and secure whereby even PLASA cannot access your details.
