Analytical cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our content, which programmes are most popular, and how we can improve our services.

Functional cookies remember your choices and personalise your experience, while marketing cookies track your interests to show you relevant content.

Data Security

We take data security seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. Our website uses encryption and secure protocols to protect sensitive data during transmission. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We limit access to personal information to employees and service providers who need it to perform their duties. Our staff are trained in data protection and privacy practices. If we become aware of any security breach, we will notify affected users as required by law and take appropriate remedial action.

Children's Privacy

Our programmes are designed for families with parents aged 40-60 and children of various ages. We collect information about children only with parental consent and for the purpose of delivering our educational services. Parents and guardians retain full control over their children's information and can request access, correction, or deletion at any time.

We do not collect unnecessary information from children and never share their data with third parties without explicit consent. Our website includes age-appropriate safeguards to ensure children's privacy is protected. Parents can review what information we hold and manage their family's data through their account settings.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to help deliver our programmes and improve our services. These include payment processors for course fees, email service providers for communications, and analytics platforms to understand user behaviour. We ensure all third parties agree to maintain confidentiality and use your information only as necessary to provide their services.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent. If we change our third-party partners or services, we will update this policy and notify you of any significant changes that affect your privacy.
