We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and other details you voluntarily provide through enrollment forms or contact forms. During the enrollment process, we also collect information required to process your participation in a course. In addition, we may collect payment details necessary for confirming your enrollment; however, we do not store sensitive payment information such as passwords or bank details.

Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and general usage data may also be collected automatically when you interact with our website. We may also keep records of any communication you have with us, including emails, WhatsApp messages, and support requests.

Your personal information is used solely for the purpose of providing and improving our services. This includes processing enrollments, confirming payments, sharing course schedules, and facilitating participation in online sessions.
