How We Use Data

We process personal data to provide and manage course enquiries, registrations, accounts, and customer support; to communicate about services, updates, and administrative matters; to operate, secure, and improve the website; to process payments and maintain records; to detect misuse, fraud, or technical issues; and to meet legal, accounting, and compliance obligations. Where required, we also use data to respond to requests and enforce our terms.

We use personal data only for operational, administrative, and compliance purposes.

Service Providers

We may share personal data with hosting, analytics, payment, communication, and administrative service providers that support the operation of the website and course services. These parties are expected to use the information only for the services they provide to us and to handle it under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations. If our business structure changes, data may also be transferred in connection with a reorganisation or similar transaction.

Service providers receive only the information needed to perform their assigned functions.

Legal Disclosures

We may share personal data with courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other authorities when required to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, or address security, fraud, or safety concerns. We may also disclose information where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We disclose information to public authorities only where a lawful basis or obligation exists.

In some cases, we may receive information from payment processors or service providers acting on our behalf.

Cookie types

Cookie Types

Our site may use essential cookies needed for security, session management, and core functionality. We may also use preference cookies to remember settings and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used and to improve performance. Cookies may be session-based or persistent, depending on their purpose and lifespan.

We use a limited set of cookies for operation, preferences, and basic analytics.
User controls

Cookie Controls

Users can usually manage cookies through their browser settings and, where available, through on-site preference tools. Blocking some cookies may affect site functions, course access, or saved preferences. We do not rely on cookie settings to override legal or security-related processing that is necessary for the site to operate.

Browser settings and cookie controls can be used to limit non-essential cookies.
User Rights

Your Rights

Depending on the circumstances, individuals may ask to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal data, and may object to some uses of their information. Where we rely on consent, it may be withdrawn for future processing. We may need to verify identity before acting on a request and may decline requests where the law permits.

Available rights depend on the nature of the request and any legal exceptions that apply.
Requests

Making a Request

To make a privacy request, use the contact details in this policy and describe the information or action requested. We may ask for enough information to confirm your identity and locate the relevant records. If a request is complex or incomplete, we may need additional time or information before responding.

Requests are reviewed and answered after we confirm identity and assess the scope of the request.
Data Retention

Data Retention

We retain personal data for the period needed to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, and support security and fraud prevention. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymise it, or otherwise restrict it in line with our retention practices and applicable law.

We keep information only for as long as it serves a business, legal, or operational need.
Policy Updates

Policy Changes

When we make material changes, we will update the policy on the website and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version applies from the date it is posted unless a different effective date is stated.

We may revise this policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements.
