Contractual Necessity

Processing is necessary to provide our language courses and services to you, including enrollment, course delivery, and payment processing.

Legitimate Interests

We process data for legitimate business interests such as improving services, preventing fraud, and ensuring security, provided these interests do not override your rights.

Legal Obligations

Processing required to comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

Consent

Where we rely on your consent, such as for marketing communications, you may withdraw consent at any time.

Right to Rectification

You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when data is no longer necessary for the purposes collected or when you withdraw consent.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request restriction of processing in specific situations, such as when you contest data accuracy or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You can receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
