While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you as required by law.

Your data may be processed outside your country of residence — for example, on servers located in India or the European Union. For transfers from the UK or EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection.

Our services are intended for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify enrolled students by email and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our services after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
