  • Legitimate interests — to operate and improve our business, provided your rights do not override these interests.
  • Legal obligation — where we are required to process your data to comply with the law.

4. Sharing your information

We may share your information with the universities, colleges and institutions to which you choose to apply, and with trusted service providers who support our operations (such as IT and communication providers) under appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law or a regulatory authority.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

5. International transfers

As we support applications to universities and institutions outside the United Kingdom, your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries outside the UK. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure your data is protected by appropriate safeguards.

6. Data retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

7. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help it function correctly and to understand how visitors use it. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not work as intended if you do.

8. Data security

We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances;
