Privacy Policy

Scope and definitions

This policy applies to our website, course pages, learning materials, and related support communications. “We”, “us”, and “our” refer to Oratory Skills Courses. “You” refers to visitors, learners, and anyone contacting us.

If you follow a link to a third-party service, their privacy practices apply. We recommend reviewing their policies before sharing information with them.

Data we collect

We collect data you provide and data generated when you use our services. The exact fields depend on how you interact with us.

• Account data: name, email address, authentication/session identifiers, and settings or preferences.
• Course interactions: learning progress, completion status, lesson preferences, and engagement metrics (e.g., which modules you opened).
• Support communications: messages you send to us and our replies (including attachments if you provide them).
• Technical data: device type, operating system, browser type, approximate location derived from IP (city/region level), referrer/landing pages, and diagnostic logs needed for reliability and security.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data. Please avoid sending sensitive information in support messages unless it is strictly necessary.

Why we collect it

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• To deliver course content and maintain your learning experience across sessions.
• To personalize lessons and recommendations based on your progress and preferences.
• To improve quality, performance, and accessibility of the platform.
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• To respond to your requests, provide customer support, and communicate service updates.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms where applicable.

Legal bases (where applicable)

Depending on your location, we rely on one or more legal bases to process personal data:

• Contract: to provide the services you request (e.g., access to courses).
• Legitimate interests: to secure, maintain, and improve our services.
• Consent: for optional cookies or marketing communications where required.
• Legal obligation: to meet regulatory requirements.

Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed to provide the service, meet our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the data category and the purpose of processing.

When data is no longer required, we delete it or anonymize it so it can no longer be linked to you.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar storage technologies to run the site, remember preferences (such as theme), and understand usage. You can control cookies via your browser settings and may delete stored cookies at any time.

Cookie categories

• Essential: required for basic functionality, security, and preference storage.
• Analytics: helps us understand how pages are used so we can improve.

Sharing and disclosures

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with service providers who help us operate the site (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics), under contractual obligations to protect it and use it only for our instructions.

We may disclose information if required by law, or if necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, our services, or the public.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, such as access controls, encryption in transit where applicable, and monitoring for suspicious activity. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have rights regarding your personal data. These can include:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: request updates to inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: request erasure of your data in certain circumstances.
• Objection and restriction: object to or request limitation of certain processing.
• Portability: request transfer of your data to another provider where feasible.
• Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise these rights, use the contact details below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

International transfers

If we transfer information across borders, we take steps designed to ensure an appropriate level of protection (for example, contractual safeguards and limiting access to authorized personnel).

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the most recent revision.
