Last updated 7 July 2026.

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) govern your registration for and attendance at the free GCSE Results Day webinar (“the Webinar”) provided by The Degree Gap (“we”, “us”, “our”), and how we handle the personal information you give us.

If you do not agree, please do not register.

1. Who we are

The Webinar is run by The Degree Gap, co-founded by Harry Godfrey and Joe Clark, in collaboration with The Careers People. The Degree Gap is the data controller responsible for the personal information you provide when you register.

If you have any questions about these Terms, the Webinar, or your personal information, contact us at admin@thedegreegap.com.

2.1 The Webinar is a free, live online session for parents and guardians, covering GCSE results day and the options that follow. A recording (“the replay”) is made available to registrants afterwards.

2.2 The Webinar is provided for general information and guidance only. It does not constitute financial, legal, medical, or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from your child’s school, exam board, or a qualified adviser. Any decisions you make after attending are your own responsibility.

2.3 We may change the date, time, format, hosts, or content of the Webinar, or cancel it, at any time. If we cancel, we will let registrants know by email.

3. Registration and eligibility

4. The personal information we collect

When you register we collect:

your first and last name;
your email address;
your mobile telephone number (optional);
your child’s stated plan after GCSEs (for example sixth form, college, or work), and whether you have expressed interest in tutoring; and
limited technical and analytics data about your visit (see section 11).

You do not have to provide a telephone number to attend the Webinar.

5. How we use your information, and our lawful bases

We use your information to:

register you and deliver the Webinar and replay to you (lawful basis: performance of the service you have requested / our legitimate interests in running the Webinar);
send you Webinar emails, being a reminder approximately 24 hours before, a reminder approximately one hour before, and the replay and related resources afterwards (lawful basis: our legitimate interests and, where required, your consent);
send you free resources and occasional updates by email after the Webinar (lawful basis: your consent, given when you tick the box);
contact you by telephone or text message about tutoring and your child’s next steps, but only where you have provided your number and expressed interest (lawful basis: your consent); and
maintain our records, improve our services, and meet our legal obligations (lawful basis: our legitimate interests and legal obligations).

6. The communications you will receive

6.1 Webinar emails. Once you register, we will email you a reminder approximately 24 hours before the Webinar, a reminder approximately one hour before, and the replay afterwards.

7.1 Your consent to receive free resources, updates, and (where applicable) calls or texts is given when you tick the consent box on the registration form.

8. How to opt out

You can stop hearing from us at any time by:

replying STOP to any text message;
pressing the unsubscribe link in any marketing email; or

We will action your request promptly. Opting out of marketing does not remove you from essential communications relating to a Webinar you have registered for.

These include our customer relationship management and email systems, our telephone and text messaging provider, the platform that hosts the live Webinar, and website analytics and advertising providers.
