How information is collected
When you enquire about a course or make a course booking, we will collect personally identifiable information as outlined above. When you purchase training services via the website, we will collect payment information as outlined above.

Why information is collected
We collect personal information and brief payment information in order to: provide and operate our training services; provide customers with ongoing assistance and support; be able to contact customers with general information about training services as well as course booking information and/or confirmation; create aggregated and de-identified statistical data, which may help us or our business partners improve our services; comply with applicable Japanese and international laws and regulations.
Storage, use and sharing of information
The InterAssist website is hosted on Webflow, which provides the online platform that allows us to sell training services to you. The website also integrates Setmore online scheduling software to facilitate course bookings. A small amount of your data may therefore be stored by Webflow and Setmore, on secure servers behind a firewall.
Stripe (as InterAssist’s direct payment gateway) adheres to standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint initiative of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and other major financial services companies. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by Stripe.
Importantly, we will not share your personal or payment information with advertisers, other companies or third parties. The only exception to this is when limited personal information is provided to MFA Japan as part of standard Training Center accreditation, Instructor Authorisation and quality maintenance processes. This information is provided after every training course in the form of a course completion roster and evaluation feedback.
