Declaration of the administrator

We declare that your personal data is stored and handled in accordance with the latest moral, ethical and technical requirements. We comply with all legal obligations required by applicable legislation, in particular the Data Protection Act and the GDPR.

Our role in the management and processing of personal data

We may have the role of controller or processor when processing personal data.

We are the data controller for our public and private course students when we enter into a contract with individuals who participate in our language courses. In this case, we obtain personal data directly from the students, i.e. from the data subjects.

We are the data processor for legal entities whose employees are taught in custom language courses or public courses. In this case, we obtain personal data from the students' employer, who is the data controller of their personal data.

Purpose of processing personal data

As data controllers, we use the personal data that students provide to us to enter into a contract with students and to perform that contract. As part of our work, we need personal data to organise language courses, keep records of language courses and issue student assessments.

For customers whose employees participate in custom language courses, we process personal data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract, which includes our obligations to keep records of language training and related reporting on both the competences acquired and the costs incurred.

We also process the e-mail addresses of those interested in language courses who have used our language test or language audit service. In these cases, we are authorized to process personal data in the framework of measures taken prior to the performance of the contract at the request of the data subject.

We are also entitled to send further information and commercial offers to students or prospective students who have passed the language test in accordance with the GDPR, within the limits of legitimate expectations and in a non-intrusive manner, on the basis of our legitimate interest.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data of students and prospective students who have passed the language test is the processing of data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or the implementation of measures taken before the conclusion of the contract at the request of the data subject or the legitimate interest of the controller. We do not process personal data obtained from third parties for direct marketing purposes.

What personal data we process

Name and surname, address, telephone number and e-mail address, Skype address. In no case do we process or collect sensitive personal data or personal data that is not necessary for our work.

Transfer of personal data to other persons

We never provide personal data to third parties for marketing use. It may be passed on to external trainers, legal, tax and accounting service providers and IT service providers. Data is always transferred to processors in accordance with the required data protection standards under the GDPR.

Retention of personal data

We keep personal data for the duration of the contract. After the end of the contractual relationship, we will keep the data for as long as necessary to comply with the necessary archiving obligation under the legal regulations that require archiving, such as the Accounting Act and the Value Added Tax Act. We will keep the e-mail addresses of those interested in language courses until the subject requests the deletion of the personal data. We will store the personal data managed and processed as far as possible in electronic form on a server with restricted access. We observe all usual security measures when managing personal data. Access to personal data in paper form is restricted both personally and physically.
