Who we share your data with

“We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. We only share your data with trusted third parties when it is necessary to provide our services, improve our website, or comply with legal obligations. Here are the specific instances when we may share your data:

1. Service Providers: We work with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, and delivering services to you. These providers may have access to your personal information solely for the purpose of performing these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to keep your data secure and confidential.

2. Analytics and Advertising Partners: To improve our website’s performance and deliver relevant content and advertisements, we may share information with analytics and advertising partners. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not directly identify you.

3. Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency). We will only share the necessary information and will always strive to protect your privacy to the fullest extent possible.

4. Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred to the new ownership. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal data.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties for their own marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Your trust is important to us, and we are dedicated to safeguarding your data and maintaining your confidence in our services.”

How long we retain your data

“At Fluentify, we retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to provide our services, or to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The duration for which we retain your data varies depending on the type of information and the specific purposes for which it is used:

1. Account Information: We retain your account information, such as your name, email address, and login details, for as long as your account remains active. If you choose to deactivate your account, we will delete your personal information upon your request, except where we need to retain certain data for legal or administrative purposes.

2. Transaction Data: Information related to your transactions, such as payment records and lesson bookings, is retained for a minimum of seven years to comply with tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations.

3. Communications and Support: We retain records of your communications with us, including support requests and feedback, for as long as necessary to address your inquiries, resolve issues, and improve our services.

4. Marketing Data: If you have opted in to receive marketing communications from us, we retain your contact information and preferences until you unsubscribe or request deletion. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by following the instructions provided in each email.

5. Legal and Compliance: We may retain personal data for longer periods if necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Once the retention period has expired, or if you request deletion of your data, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We regularly review our data retention practices to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and to uphold our commitment to protecting your privacy.
