We receive personal data from users when they make an inquiry, complete level screening, confirm course terms, enrol, attend lessons, or communicate with us by phone, email, contact form, or online consultation. We also obtain data from payment processing records, website interaction logs, and information generated through scheduled lessons, guided practice, and progress review activities.

Some information is provided directly, while other data is created during course administration.

01 · Purpose

How We Use Personal Data

We use personal data to respond to inquiries, assess starting level, match learners with suitable groups and timetables, confirm course terms, manage enrolment, arrange scheduled lessons, support guided practice, prepare progress summaries, process payments, maintain records, operate our website, and meet legal or accounting obligations. We may also use data to communicate about course administration, schedule changes, and service-related notices.

Processing is limited to service delivery, administration, and compliance.
02 · Sharing

Service Providers and Partners

We may share personal data with payment processors, website and hosting providers, communication tools, and other operational service providers that support booking, lesson delivery, recordkeeping, or technical maintenance. These parties are expected to use the data only for the services they provide to us and to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

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

User Rights

Subject to legal limits, users may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of data that is no longer needed, or restriction of certain processing. Users may also object to processing in some circumstances and may ask for clarification about how their data is used.

Available rights may vary depending on the nature of the request and applicable law.
Requests

How to Make a Request

To protect privacy, we may ask for information needed to verify a request before taking action. We will review each request and respond within a reasonable period under applicable law. If we cannot fully comply, we will explain the reason where permitted.

Requests are handled after reasonable verification of identity and scope.
Data Retention

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed to manage inquiries, enrolment, lessons, payments, records, and legal compliance. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymise it, or restrict it so that it is retained only where the law or a legitimate operational need requires continued storage.

Retention periods depend on the purpose for which the data was collected and any legal obligation to keep it.
