What data is collected

- When you become a learner: contact and billing details, and course records such as the needs analysis, feedback, study plans and progress notes.
- When you visit this website: the hosting provider records technical data such as IP address, date, time and page requested, for security and operation.
Why it is used, and the legal basis
- To answer your enquiry and arrange a trial: steps taken at your request before a contract.
- To deliver lessons, feedback and study support: performance of the contract.
- To issue invoices and keep accounts: legal obligation.
- To keep the website secure: legitimate interest.
Your data is not used for advertising emails unless you have agreed to receive them. It is never sold.

Who receives it
Data is shared only with providers needed to run the service: the website and email hosting providers, the online lesson platforms used in your course, the tax adviser who prepares the accounts, and collaborating teachers, who receive only what they need to teach you. If a provider or teacher is located outside the European Economic Area, data is shared only as needed to deliver the lessons you booked and with the safeguards required by the GDPR.
