We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as limited technical data generated automatically during your visit:

  • Consultation & Catalogue Requests: When you book a consultation or request our curriculum catalogue, we collect your name, corporate email address, organization name, phone number (if provided), and any specific training requirements or time preferences.
  • EduCut Connect & Inquiries: When you contact our team or inquire about academic/research opportunities, we process your contact information and message content.
  • Technical and Usage Data: When accessing our services, standard technical information (browser type, operating system, IP address, request timestamps) is logged transiently for security, fraud prevention, and system stability.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

We process your data exclusively for defined, legitimate purposes:

  • Performance of Contractual or Pre-Contractual Measures: Delivering your personalized 3, 5, or 7-course AI learning path recommendation, calculating indicative quotes, providing scheduled consultations, and sending requested course catalogues.
  • Legitimate Interests: Operating and improving our training curriculum, securing our digital infrastructure against abuse, and communicating with corporate partners regarding relevant B2B learning opportunities.
  • Consent: Where you explicitly check an agreement box, we process your data based on your freely given consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.

5. Data Storage, Security and Hosting

Your data is processed and stored securely using industry-standard technical and organizational security measures (including TLS encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties for commercial advertising.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Assessment submissions and lead records are reviewed periodically and securely purged or anonymized when no longer required for active educational consultation.

  • Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
  • Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request the deletion of your personal data where statutory retention obligations do not apply.
  • Right to Restriction of Processing: Request limits on how we process your personal data under certain conditions.
  • Right to Data Portability: Receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw any previously given consent with immediate effect for future processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our team at [email protected].

8. Cookies and Web Analytics

EduCut.ai prioritizes minimal tracking. We prioritize cookieless, privacy-preserving metrics that do not track users across domains. Necessary local storage keys are utilized strictly to preserve your assessment inputs, session preferences, and authenticated state within the platform.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, new service offerings, or evolving legal frameworks. The "Last updated" date at the top of this document indicates when changes were last implemented.
