01 · Purpose

Why We Use Data

Personal data is processed to respond to enquiries, assess starting level, match learners to suitable groups and timetables, confirm course terms, manage enrolment, organise scheduled lessons, support guided practice and progress review, process payments, maintain records, operate the website, and meet legal or administrative obligations. We may also use limited data to improve service quality and to manage communications about the course relationship.

We use personal data only for purposes connected with the website and course operations.
02 · Sharing

Service Providers and Partners

We may share personal data with service providers that support website hosting, communications, booking administration, payment processing, online lesson delivery, and related technical services. We may also share information with instructors or administrative staff involved in course organisation. These parties are expected to use the data only for the services they provide and to handle it with appropriate confidentiality.

Operational partners receive only the information needed to perform their role.

Subject to applicable law, individuals may ask for access to their data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion in appropriate cases, restriction of certain processing, or objection to processing based on legitimate interests. Where consent is used, it may be withdrawn for future processing. Some requests may be limited where we must keep information for legal, accounting, or operational reasons.

Available rights depend on the nature of the data and the legal basis for processing.

To make a rights request, provide enough information for us to identify the relevant record and verify the requester. We may ask for additional details where needed and will respond within the period required by applicable law. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the reason where permitted.

Requests are reviewed before action is taken to protect privacy and prevent unauthorised disclosure.

Retention depends on the type of record and the reason it was collected. Enquiry records, enrolment details, lesson administration data, and payment records are kept for periods that are practical for course management, accounting, dispute handling, and legal compliance. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted, anonymised, or otherwise securely handled according to our retention practices.

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

When we make material changes, we will update the policy text on the website and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The version in force is the one published at the time of use, unless a later effective date is stated.

This policy may be revised to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements.
Data category

Data We Collect

Where online lessons are arranged, we may also process information needed to support access to the lesson platform and participation in scheduled sessions.

The categories of data collected depend on how a person uses the site, makes an enquiry, or enrols in a course.
