What we collect

When you submit the assessment form we collect your name, phone number, email address, city, years of experience, current salary band, target track and preferred mode of study. We also record which page you submitted from and any campaign parameters in the URL.

We also measure how the site is used: pages visited, which buttons are clicked (for example "Book a free assessment" or WhatsApp), how far people get in the assessment form, approximate location, device and browser. We never send your name, phone number or email to these tools. If you arrived from an advertisement or a link with campaign tags, we keep that source on your device so it can be attached to your enquiry if you send one.

Pages you viewed before booking. Your browser keeps a short list of the pages you opened on this site and a few actions (for example downloading a brochure or tapping WhatsApp), with a random code for your browser. It stays on your device, holds nothing that identifies you, and older entries are removed after 90 days. It is sent to us only together with your own assessment booking, and is then kept with your enquiry so our counsellor knows what you were interested in. If you never book, we never receive it.

Why we collect it

To contact you about the assessment call you requested, to recommend a suitable track, and to understand which of our pages actually help people. We do not use your data for automated decision-making.

Who we share it with

Nobody, except the service providers who run our infrastructure — Google (Sheets and Analytics and Tag Manager), Microsoft (Clarity), Meta, Google Ads and LinkedIn (ads measurement), PostHog (site usage analysis), Cloudflare (hosting and cookie-free visit counts), and our email provider. Our cookie-free visitor counter (Umami) runs on our own server. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with other education companies.

With your explicit consent during placement support, we share your resume and profile with hiring companies. That never happens without you agreeing to it first.

How long we keep it

Enquiry data for up to 24 months from your last contact with us. Records for enrolled students are kept for as long as we have a contractual or legal reason to, and deleted after that.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.

Cookies and measurement

When you first visit, a small bar asks whether we may use cookies. Nothing below that needs cookies runs until you choose "Allow", and you can change your choice any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.

• Umami (on our own server) — cookie-free visit counts: pages, where visitors came from, device type. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and is not used to identify you. If your browser sends "Do Not Track", it does not count you.
• Google Tag Manager — a tool that loads some of the services below. It follows your cookie choice: the services it loads that need cookies wait until you choose "Allow".
• Google Analytics — counts visits and actions. Before you allow cookies it sends only cookie-free counts.
• PostHog (only after "Allow") — shows where people get stuck on the site and can record anonymous replays of page use. Anything typed into forms is hidden, and the assessment form is not recorded.
• Microsoft Clarity (only after "Allow") — heatmaps and anonymous replays of how pages are used. Anything typed into forms is hidden from replays.
• Meta Pixel (only after "Allow") — tells us which Facebook and Instagram ads lead to enquiries.
• Google Ads and LinkedIn (only after "Allow") — tell us which of our ads on Google, YouTube and LinkedIn lead to enquiries, and let us show our ads again to people who visited.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics — cookie-free visit counts and page speed.

The site works fully if you choose "No thanks" or block cookies in your browser.
