This privacy policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored and protected when you visit our website or participate in our courses.
2. Information We Collect
When you register for or use our courses, we may collect your name, email address, account details, course enrolments, lesson progress, quiz answers and results, course completion records, and communications you send to us.
Technical information, such as IP addresses, login activity and security logs, may also be processed when you access the website.
We do not require students to provide sensitive personal information as part of ordinary course registration.
We aim to collect only information reasonably necessary for operating the academy.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to create and administer learner accounts, deliver courses, maintain educational progress records, assess learning activities, respond to enquiries, secure the website and improve our educational services.
The applicable legal basis depends on the activity. This may include delivering the service you requested, legitimate interests in providing and securing the academy, compliance with legal obligations, or consent where required.
We will not automatically enrol learners in promotional emails merely because they register for a course.
4. Learning Records
The learning platform records information relating to enrolment, completed lessons, quiz results and course progress.
This allows learners to continue their studies and enables the academy to administer assessments and verify course completion.
Any certificates issued by the academy may be supported by retained completion records.
5. Service Providers and External Content
The academy uses WordPress and LearnPress to deliver its online courses. Website hosting and other technical services are supplied by external providers, including Hostinger.
Some lessons contain YouTube videos or links to external resources. Accessing embedded third-party content may involve information being processed by the relevant provider under its own privacy arrangements.
6. Data Retention
We retain learner information only for as long as reasonably necessary for course administration, maintaining learning records, responding to enquiries and meeting applicable legal obligations.
Learners may contact us to request account deletion. Certain records may need to be retained where a valid legal reason applies.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect learner information, including controlling administrative access and maintaining appropriate website security arrangements.
No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict the processing of your information, object to certain processing, and request portability of eligible information.
