Data We Collect

We may process identification and contact details, course inquiry information, level screening responses, enrolment and timetable details, payment-related records, attendance and progress information, and technical data generated when the website or online lessons are used. Where needed for small-group courses, we may also process learning preferences and practical scheduling information.

The information collected depends on the inquiry, enrolment, and lesson format used.
Collection source

Sources of Data

We receive data from forms, messages, booking requests, phone or email enquiries, online consultations, and course participation. We also collect limited technical information automatically from devices and browsers when the site is accessed, and we may create internal records from screening, matching, and progress review activities.

Most information comes directly from the learner or from routine service use.

We may use essential cookies for core site functions, preference cookies to remember settings, and analytics cookies to understand general usage patterns. If online booking or consultation tools rely on cookies, those tools may also place session cookies needed to complete the request.

Cookie use is kept to standard operational and analytical purposes.

We use cookies and similar tools to support site operation, remember basic preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can manage cookies through your browser controls, and some features may not function properly if certain cookies are disabled.

Why we process data

How We Use Data

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, assess starting level, match learners to suitable groups and timetables, confirm course terms, manage enrolment, deliver scheduled lessons and guided practice, prepare progress summaries, process payments, maintain records, support website functions, and meet legal or accounting obligations.

Processing is limited to operational, administrative, and compliance needs.
