Teacher profile data including subjects, rates, experience, media links and contact details you choose to share.

Technical data such as device/browser type, approximate location derived from IP, and usage logs needed for security and performance.

4. Sharing of information

We may share relevant details with teachers or students as needed to fulfil a match or unlock you request.

We use trusted service providers (for example hosting, authentication, analytics or payments) who process data on our instructions.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer.

We do not sell personal information for unrelated third-party marketing.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential session functions, remembering preferences (such as a remembered email), and understanding how the site is used.

You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect sign-in or other features.

6. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including account history, legal compliance and dispute resolution, after which we delete or anonymise it where practicable.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; please use a strong password and protect your devices.

8. Children’s privacy

The Platform is designed for parents/guardians and adult users arranging tutoring for children. Where a child’s information is provided, it should be submitted by a parent or guardian with authority to do so.
