User Rights

User Rights

Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict their personal data, and to object to certain processing. Users may also have the right to receive a copy of their data in a portable format in some circumstances. These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal obligations or legitimate operational needs.

Available rights may vary depending on the legal basis and the user's location.
Requests

How to Make a Request

To exercise a privacy right, a user should submit a clear request and provide enough information for us to verify identity and locate the relevant records. We may ask for additional details where needed to protect against unauthorized access or misuse. If a request is refused in whole or in part, we will explain the reason where required by law.

Requests are handled through a verification process before any disclosure or change is made.
Data Retention

Data Retention

We retain personal data for the period needed to provide the site and courses, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, accounting, or security obligations. When data is no longer required, we delete it, anonymize it, or retain it in a restricted form where the law requires a longer period.

Data is kept only for as long as needed for the relevant purpose or legal requirement.
