2. What Data We Collect and Why

We collect personal data that you provide directly — such as your name, email address, billing details, course submissions, and any content or communications you submit through the platform — as well as technical data collected automatically, including IP address, device and browser information, login activity, and usage data related to your interaction with the Services.

We use this data on the following legal bases:

Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — to create and manage your account, deliver the Services you have purchased, process payments, issue certificates, and provide learner support.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to maintain platform security and integrity, protect our intellectual property, improve our Services, and communicate important updates. We have assessed that these interests are not overridden by your rights.
Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — where required by applicable law, including tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for marketing communications and for any use of your name, image, likeness, testimonials, or results in external marketing or promotional materials. This consent is always obtained separately, is voluntary, and may be withdrawn at any time by contacting [email protected].

3. Sharing Your Data

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with carefully selected third-party service providers who support the delivery of our Services — including platform hosting, payment processing, email delivery, video hosting, and analytics — who process data strictly on our instructions. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Some of our service providers operate outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

4. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the duration of your account and any applicable legal retention obligations (such as tax and accounting records, which we retain for 7 years as required by Belgian law). When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

5. Your Rights

If you are located in the EU, EEA, or UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority:
Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit (GBA) — www.dataprotectionauthority.be

If you are a resident of California, USA, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to know what personal data we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of any sale or sharing of your personal data. We do not sell or share your personal data. To exercise your California rights, contact us at [email protected].

6. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure platform functionality and measure performance. Non-essential cookies are only placed with your consent, which you may manage or withdraw at any time through the cookie settings on our website.
