We may share your information with trusted third party service providers who assist us in operating our platform, including cloud infrastructure providers. Our primary infrastructure provider is Amazon Web Services (AWS). All third party processors are bound by data processing agreements and are required to handle your data in compliance with UK and EU GDPR.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services. For individual subscribers, data is retained for the duration of your active subscription and deleted within 90 days of account closure upon request. For university partnerships, student data is retained for the duration of the active licence agreement.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our platform is hosted on AWS infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
