Legal bases
We rely on contract performance (providing courses), legitimate interests (site security and improvement), consent (marketing emails, cookies beyond strictly necessary), and legal obligations (record keeping).
Sharing and processors
We do not sell personal data. We may share limited data with service providers strictly to deliver our services (e.g., payment processors, email delivery). Providers are bound by confidentiality and data processing agreements.

Data retention
We keep account and transaction records as required by law. Support messages and analytics are retained for a limited time necessary for operations and improvement.
Security
We use industry-standard safeguards including encrypted transport (HTTPS), password hashing, and access controls. No system can be guaranteed 100% secure; we promptly address incidents.
Children’s privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13. If we learn we have collected data from a child, we will delete it.
