Subject to legal limits, you may ask whether we hold personal data about you, request access to it, ask for correction of inaccurate information, or object to certain processing. Where deletion or restriction is not possible, we will explain the reason.

Available rights depend on the nature of the request and applicable law.

To help us process a rights request, please provide enough information to identify the relevant records and the nature of the request. We may ask for additional details if needed to confirm identity or locate the data concerned.

Requests may require identity verification before we disclose or change data.

We retain personal data for the period necessary to handle enquiries, manage enrolment and course administration, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal, accounting, or operational requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.

We keep data only for as long as it is needed for the relevant purpose or legal obligation.

The current version applies from the date it is published on the website. If we make material changes, we will update the policy text and may provide an additional notice where appropriate. We encourage users to review this page from time to time.

We may revise this policy when our practices, services, or legal obligations change.

How We Use Data

Processing is limited to operational needs and legitimate administrative tasks.

Service Providers

We may share personal data with external providers that support website hosting, communications, scheduling, administration, or payment processing. These parties may process data only for the services they provide to us and are expected to handle it under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

Service providers receive only the data needed for their assigned function.
