How We Use Data

We use personal data to respond to inquiries, assess starting level, match learners to suitable groups and timetables, confirm course terms, manage enrolment, deliver scheduled lessons and guided practice, prepare written learning plans and progress summaries, maintain attendance and billing records, communicate about course materials and preparation, operate the website, protect against misuse, and meet legal or accounting obligations.

Processing is limited to course administration, communication, and compliance needs.
02 · Sharing

Service Providers

We may share personal data with trusted service providers that support website hosting, communications, scheduling, payment processing, record keeping, or similar operational tasks. These parties are expected to process data only on our instructions and to use appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We do not sell personal data.

Service providers receive only the information needed to perform their assigned functions.

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access your personal data, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion in certain cases, object to or restrict some processing, and request portability where the conditions for that right are met. If we rely on consent for a specific activity, you may withdraw that consent for future processing. We may need to retain some information where required by law or where it is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Available rights depend on the legal basis and the nature of the data involved.

To exercise a privacy right, please use the contact details in this policy and describe the request clearly. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity and to locate the relevant records. We will review the request and respond within the period required by applicable law, or explain if an exception applies.

Requests are handled after we verify identity and confirm the scope of the request.

Retention periods depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected. Course administration records are kept for the duration of the relevant course relationship and for a reasonable period afterward to handle follow-up, accounting, dispute resolution, or legal obligations. Technical and cookie-related data is retained for shorter periods where possible. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it in line with our internal retention practices.

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the relevant purpose or legal requirement.

When we update this policy, we will post the revised version on the website and change the effective date where appropriate. If a change materially affects how we process personal data, we will take reasonable steps to draw attention to it before it takes effect.

We may revise this policy to reflect legal, operational, or technical changes.
01

Data We Collect

Depending on how you interact with Linguistic Nest, we may process identification and contact details, inquiry and enrolment information, placement and level-screening responses, timetable preferences, attendance records, course progress notes, payment and billing information, and technical data such as device or browser information. We also process information you provide in messages, forms, or during centre visits.

We collect only the information needed for course administration and related communications.
02

How We Collect Data

We receive personal data when you submit a contact form, make a course inquiry, request level screening, arrange group and timetable matching, confirm course terms, enrol in a course, or communicate with us by phone, email, or in person. Some technical data is collected automatically when you use the website, and some course-related information is created during scheduling, attendance, and progress review.

Information is obtained directly from users and from routine website and booking interactions.
03

Types of Cookies

Necessary cookies support core website functions such as page navigation and form submission. Preference cookies remember selected settings where applicable. Analytics cookies, if used, help us understand general site usage and improve performance. We do not rely on cookies to collect more information than is needed for these purposes.

We use a limited set of cookies for operation, preferences, and basic analytics where enabled.
04

Cookie Controls

You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some site functions may not work properly if you do so. Where the website offers cookie controls, you can use them to limit non-essential cookies. Browser-based controls do not usually affect cookies that are strictly necessary for basic site operation.

Cookie preferences can be managed through browser settings and, where available, site controls.

GDPR Notice

Where the GDPR applies, Linguistic Nest acts as a data controller for the personal data it determines how and why to process. We rely on lawful bases such as performance of a contract, steps taken at your request before entering a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating and improving the website and course administration. Where required, we will ask for consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the GDPR may apply to our processing of your personal data.

Your data rights matter

GDPR Rights

If the GDPR applies, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to receive portability in appropriate cases. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal obligations, contractual necessity, or the rights of others.

GDPR rights are available only to the extent they apply under the law.
