Background: ParaFolio
The ParaFolio app is a CPD (Continuing Professional Development) management tool for organising your CPD portfolio. By accessing this app, you agree to these terms and conditions of use.
The app can also be provided by ambulance trusts for their staff, in which case the subscription will be arranged via Class Publishing directly. Class Professional Publishing may share top-level information of your portfolio with your trust in order to support them with audits.
Privacy
Class Publishing Ltd will hold any information that you provide to us confidentially.
When you create an account on ParaFolio we ask for your name and email address so we know who you are. We use a trusted third-party supplier to hold this user data securely. Class Professional Publishing collects data on who has logged into ParaFolio.
To work correctly, the ParaFolio app also has to store the evidence you supply for your Portfolio.
Some ambulance services have requested that we store electronic staff record numbers and working locations. This is for reliable licence management.
Some ambulance services are using ParaFolio to manage their preceptorship package administration. If your ambulance service is doing this, and you are an NQP, please see the additional information in the ParaFolio Data Policy HERE.
Should the app subscription be provided to you by your ambulance trust or other organisation, this data may also be made available to them and any parties they choose to share this information with. You can read the ParaFolio Data Policy HERE.
Account deletion request
You can request that your account for ParaFolio is deleted at any time. To do this, please email apps@class.co.uk from the email address associated with your account. You should list the relevant app, e.g. ParaFolio in the email. Please allow 10 working days for your request to be processed. We will delete your personal data from the relevant app from our systems. Please note that this means you will no longer be able to access the functionality of ParaFolio, or any results or reflections you have completed within the app.
Should the app subscription be provided to you by your ambulance Trust or other organisation, we will liaise with them in the first instance regarding data.
