4. Your Privacy Rights
Under Bulgarian data protection law and the GDPR,
you have several important rights regarding your

over how we use your data and ensure transparency
in our processing activities.
Right to Access
You can request a copy of the personal
information we hold about you, including
details about how we process it.

If any information we have is incorrect or
incomplete, you can ask us to update or
correct it.
Right to Deletion
In certain circumstances, you can request
that we delete your personal information from
our systems.
Right to Portability
You can request to receive your data in a

with our legal obligations or legitimate business
interests.
5. Data Security and Protection
We take protecting your personal information
seriously. Our security measures include encrypted
data transmission, secure server infrastructure,
and regular security assessments. We limit access
to your information to employees and service
providers who need it to deliver our services.
Technical Safeguards
- SSL encryption for all data transmission
between your device and our servers
- Regular security updates and monitoring of
our systems
- Secure backup procedures to protect against
data loss
- Access controls and authentication
requirements for staff
- Regular security training for all team
members handling personal data
While we implement strong security measures, no
system is completely immune to security risks. If
we become aware of any data breach that might
affect your rights, we'll notify the relevant
authorities and affected individuals as required by
law.
6. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as
necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this

ongoing support and maintain academic records.
Retention Schedule
Active Students: Data retained
during enrollment plus 3 years
Marketing Contacts: Until you
unsubscribe or 2 years of inactivity
Financial Records: 5 years as

When we no longer need your information, we
securely delete or anonymize it. Some information
might be retained longer if required for legal
compliance, such as financial records for tax
purposes.
7. Third-Party Services
We work with trusted third-party service providers
to deliver our educational programs effectively.
These include payment processors, email service
providers, and educational technology platforms.
All these providers are carefully selected and
required to protect your data according to strict
contractual terms.
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers are located outside
Bulgaria and the European Union. When we transfer
your data internationally, we ensure appropriate
safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions
by the European Commission or standard contractual
clauses approved by EU authorities.
