Legal basis: Contract — this data helps us deliver a personalized tutoring service appropriate to your level and objectives.
3.3 Website Analytics (Cookies)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This involves the collection of your IP address and browsing behavior on our site via cookies.
Legal basis: Consent — analytics cookies are only activated after you have given your explicit consent via our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.
4. Third Parties We Share Data With
We use a small number of trusted third-party service providers to operate our website and deliver our services. Each acts as a data processor on our behalf:
Stripe (Payment Processing)
We use Stripe to process payments securely. Stripe may collect and process your name, email address, and payment details. Stripe maintains its own privacy policy and Data Processing Agreement. For more information, visit stripe.com/privacy.
Calendly (Appointment Scheduling)
We use Calendly to manage lesson bookings. When you schedule a session, Calendly collects your name, email address, and scheduling information. For more information, visit calendly.com/privacy.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic. This service collects anonymized usage data including IP addresses. Analytics cookies are only activated with your consent. For more information, visit policies.google.com/privacy.
We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We do not share your data with any other third parties except as required by law.
5. International Data Transfers
Our business is based in the United States. When you use our website from the EU/EEA, your personal data is transferred to and processed in the US. We ensure that such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as provided by our third-party processors (Stripe, Google, and Calendly), which comply with applicable EU data transfer requirements.
6. How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary:
- Purchase records and tutoring session details: retained for up to 3 years for accounting and tax purposes
- Placement test results and learning goals: retained for the duration of your tutoring relationship with us, and deleted upon request

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie consent banner on our website. You may also adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though this may affect certain website functionality.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

9. Automated Decision-Making
We do not use any automated decision-making processes or profiling that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. Our AI-generated audio materials are content tools only and are not used to make any decisions about you as an individual. Any assessment of a student’s English level based on a placement test is reviewed and applied by a human teacher.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Payments are processed exclusively through Stripe’s secure, PCI-compliant infrastructure. We do not store payment card details on our systems.
