How We Use Your Data

Personal data means any information capable of identifying an individual. It does not include anonymized data. We use your personal data to provide access to courses and learning materials, to process payments and manage enrollments, and to communicate with you about your courses, updates, or support requests. We also send newsletters or marketing emails (only if you have opted in). We also use your personal information to improve our website, courses, and user experience and to comply with legal and accounting obligations.  

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union or UK, we process your data based on:

Consent (e.g. newsletter sign-up)  
Contractual necessity (providing purchased courses)  
Legal obligations (tax, accounting)  
Legitimate interests (improving services and website performance)  

Third-Party Services

We may share limited personal data with trusted third-party providers, such as:
Payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal)  
Email marketing platforms (MailerLite)
Learning platforms or course hosting services  
Analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics)  

These providers only process data on our behalf and are required to comply with data protection laws.

Children's Data

We do not offer any services for children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the contact details set out below to request that it be deleted.  As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” (as those terms are defined in applicable law) personal information of individuals under 18 years of age.  

International Data Transfers

Because we serve students worldwide, your data may be processed outside your country of residence. We take appropriate measures to ensure your data is protected in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Data Retention & Disclosure of Information

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary:

For course access and student records  
To comply with legal and accounting requirements  
Until you request deletion (where legally possible)

We may disclose your personal information to our subsidiaries, affiliates, and service providers for the purpose of providing our services to you.  We may disclose your personal information to a third party, including a lawyer or collection agency, when necessary to enforce our terms of service or any other agreement between you and SCG.  

We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights or when compelled by a court or other governmental entity to do so.

Email Policies

You will only receive marketing emails if you have explicitly subscribed. We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third parties, and will not disclose your email address to any third parties except as stated in the section titled Disclosure of Your Information.

We will maintain the information you send via e-mail in accordance with applicable federal law.  

In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, all e-mails sent from SCG will clearly state who the e-mail is from and provide clear information on how to contact the sender. In addition, all e-mail messages will also contain concise information on how to remove yourself from our mailing list so that you receive no further e-mail communication from us.
