User Rights

Your Rights

Subject to legal limits, users may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, or deletion of data that is no longer needed. Users may also object to certain processing or ask us to restrict use in appropriate circumstances. Where consent is the basis for a specific activity, it may be withdrawn for future processing, but this does not affect prior lawful processing.

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

Requests

How to Make a Request

Requests should describe the information or action sought so we can review and respond appropriately. We may ask for additional details to confirm identity, protect account security, and determine whether an exception applies. If a request cannot be fully granted, we will explain the outcome in general terms where appropriate.

We may need information to verify identity before acting on a request.

Data Retention

Retention periods depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected. Account, course, and communication records are kept while the account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to support administration, dispute handling, and legal compliance. Technical logs and similar operational data are retained for shorter periods unless a longer period is needed for security, fraud prevention, or legal requirements. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it where practical.

We keep data only for as long as needed for the stated purpose or to meet legal obligations.

Policy Updates

Changes to This Policy

Any material update will be reflected on this page, and the revised version will take effect when posted unless a different effective date is stated. If a change affects how we handle personal data in a significant way, we may provide additional notice through the site or by other reasonable means. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.

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

How We Use Data

We use personal data to provide access to courses and related content, create and manage accounts, process registrations and transactions, communicate about updates or support matters, personalize basic site functions, monitor performance, maintain security, prevent misuse, and comply with legal or accounting obligations. We may also use limited data to understand how the site is used so we can improve navigation, content delivery, and reliability.

We use personal data only for operational, administrative, and compliance purposes tied to the site.

Service Providers and Partners

We may share personal data with vendors and other partners that help us host the site, process payments, send communications, provide analytics, maintain security, or support course delivery. 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. We do not authorize them to use personal data for their own unrelated purposes.

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

Legal Disclosures

We may share personal data where disclosure is required by law, regulation, court order, or lawful request from a competent authority. We may also disclose information when necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, protect our rights, or address suspected unlawful activity. Any disclosure is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

We disclose information to public authorities only when a valid legal basis requires it.
