We obtain your explicit consent before processing data for marketing communications or optional services. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Contract Performance

Processing is necessary to fulfil our contract with you when you enrol in our educational programmes, including delivering services and managing your enrolment.

Legal Obligation

We process data to comply with legal requirements such as tax obligations, financial record-keeping, and responses to lawful requests from authorities.

Legitimate Interests

We may process data for legitimate business interests such as fraud prevention, network security, and business analytics, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights.

Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have comprehensive rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data along with supplementary information about how we use it.

Right to Rectification

You can request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You can request deletion of your personal data when:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected
  • You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The data has been unlawfully processed
  • Erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation

Right to Restriction of Processing

You can request that we limit processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You can request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
