4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share it with:

- Enquiry records are kept for 12 months if you do not enrol
- Payment records are kept for 7 years for tax and accounting purposes
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
- Restrict or object to certain processing activities

7. Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve your experience. These include essential cookies (required for the site to function), analytics cookies (to understand usage), and preference cookies (to remember your settings). You can control cookie settings through your browser.
Browser storage. To save you retyping, the free-trial booking form keeps what you type (name, age, gender, country, phone/WhatsApp number, course choices and notes) as a draft in your own browser's local storage. This stays on your device and is not sent to us. It is removed when you complete the form, or when you clear your browser data.
Third-party content. Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, icon and layout code from the Cloudflare cdnjs library host, and the Contact page embeds a Google Map. When your browser loads these, the provider receives your IP address and basic browser information and may set its own cookies. Please see those providers' own privacy policies for details.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. All lesson sessions are conducted over encrypted connections.
9. Children's Privacy
We offer courses to children from age 4 onwards. When a child enrols, we require the consent of a parent or guardian and all communications are conducted with the parent or guardian rather than the child directly.
10. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice on our website or emailing you directly. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
