Third-Party Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers who help us deliver our educational services. These may include email service providers, analytics platforms, and educational technology partners. All third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

We ensure that any third-party partners comply with strict data protection standards and use your information only for the specific purposes we've authorized.

All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols. We regularly update our security systems to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

We limit access to your personal information to employees and contractors who need it to perform their duties. All staff members are trained on data protection principles and are bound by confidentiality agreements.

Learning progress data may be retained longer to support ongoing educational research and platform improvement efforts, though this data is anonymized to protect your privacy.

Deletion Schedule

We regularly review and delete information that is no longer needed. Inactive accounts are flagged for review after two years of inactivity, and users are notified before any deletion occurs.

7. International Data Transfers

As a UK-based educational platform, we primarily process and store data within the United Kingdom. However, some of our service providers may be located in other countries with adequate data protection standards.

When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information, including standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions recognized by UK data protection authorities.
