Livingston Global Academy (“Livingston Global Academy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides online educational services for children, including live online lessons, self-paced courses, pre-recorded educational content, and related learning activities.

The specific information collected depends on the technologies and third-party services used on our website.

4. How We Collect Personal Information

We may collect personal information:

• directly from parents or legal guardians during registration;
• when a parent or guardian purchases a course or service;
• when you complete a form on our website;
• when you contact us by email or other communication methods;
• when students participate in lessons;
• when students submit assignments or other educational work;
• through our website’s technical functionality;
• through third-party services used to deliver our courses; and
• when you otherwise voluntarily provide information to us.

Where a child participates in our services, we generally expect the parent or legal guardian to provide registration and account information.

5. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

1. provide and administer courses and lessons;
2. register students and manage accounts;
3. communicate with parents and legal guardians;
4. provide live online lessons;
5. provide self-paced and pre-recorded courses;
6. provide educational materials;
7. review assignments and provide educational feedback;
8. monitor educational progress;
9. process payments and manage purchases;
10. respond to questions and support requests;
11. maintain the security of our website and services;
12. prevent fraud, misuse, or unauthorized access;
13. comply with applicable legal obligations;
14. maintain appropriate business, tax, and accounting records;
15. improve our educational services and website; and
16. send marketing communications where permitted by law and, where required, with consent.

We will not use children’s personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the educational services being provided.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies, we process personal information using one or more of the following legal bases.

6.1 Contract

We may process personal information where it is necessary to provide a course or service requested by a parent or legal guardian, or to take steps at their request before entering into an agreement.

6.2 Legal Obligation

We may process personal information where necessary to comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, consumer-protection, or other legal obligations.

6.3 Legitimate Interests

We may process personal information where necessary for legitimate interests, such as:

• maintaining website and service security;
• preventing fraud or misuse;
• administering our services;
• communicating with customers;
• improving our educational services; and
• protecting our rights and property.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether those interests are balanced against the individual’s rights and interests.

6.4 Consent

Where consent is required by applicable law, we will request consent before carrying out the relevant processing.

Where processing is based on consent, consent may generally be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before consent was withdrawn.

7. Children’s Privacy

Livingston Global Academy provides educational services specifically for children. We therefore take additional care when processing children’s personal information.

Where required by applicable law, we require a parent or legal guardian to register the child and provide authorization or consent before the child uses relevant services.

For children in the European Economic Area, where processing is based on consent in connection with an information society service offered directly to a child, we will comply with the applicable requirements of Article 8 of the GDPR and applicable national law.

Because the GDPR permits EU Member States to establish different minimum ages for certain child-consent situations, the requirements may differ depending on the child’s circumstances and applicable law.

For children under 13 in the United States, we will take appropriate steps to comply with applicable requirements under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) where COPPA applies.

We do not knowingly encourage children to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in our educational services.

8. Parent and Legal Guardian Responsibility

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for:

• providing accurate registration information;
• ensuring that they have the appropriate authority to register the child;
• reviewing information provided to us;
• supervising the child’s use of online services where appropriate; and
• contacting us if they have concerns about the child’s personal information.

Where legally required, we may take reasonable steps to verify parental or guardian authority.

9. Live Online Lessons

Our live lessons may be delivered using third-party video-conferencing platforms, including:

• Google Meet; and
• Zoom.

The specific platform used may vary depending on the course, lesson, teacher, technical requirements, or other operational considerations.

Depending on the platform and how the lesson is configured, information processed by the video-conferencing provider may include:

• participant name;
• email address or account information;
• audio;
• video;
• chat messages;
• technical and device information; and
• information necessary to operate the online meeting.

Parents and legal guardians should review the privacy information provided by the relevant video-conferencing provider.

10. Cameras and Microphones

Depending on the lesson, students may be able to participate without using a camera.

Students may need access to a microphone when participation in discussions or other interactive activities is part of the course.

Parents and legal guardians should consider the child’s individual circumstances when deciding whether the child should use a camera or microphone during an online lesson.

11. Recording of Live Lessons

Livingston Global Academy does not routinely record live lessons.

If we intend to record a live lesson, we will provide appropriate notice beforehand and obtain any consent or authorization required by applicable law.

Where recording involves children, we will take particular care to ensure that:

• the recording has a clear and legitimate purpose;
• only appropriate information is recorded;
• access to recordings is appropriately restricted; and
• any required parental or guardian permissions are obtained.

Recordings will not be used for advertising or promotional purposes unless the appropriate permission has been obtained.

12. Self-Paced and Pre-Recorded Courses

Livingston Global Academy may offer self-paced courses and pre-recorded educational content.

When a student accesses these services, we may process information such as:

• account information;
• course enrollment;
• lesson or course completion;
• progress information;
• assignments and submitted work; and
• technical information necessary to provide the course.

We use this information to provide, administer, and improve the educational service.

13. Student Work and Educational Information

Students may submit:

• assignments;
• projects;
• written answers;
• presentations;
• exercises; or
• other educational work.

We may process this information to:

• review or assess work;
• provide feedback;
• monitor educational progress;
• provide appropriate educational support; and
• administer the course.

We will not publicly publish a child’s schoolwork, name, photograph, video, or other identifiable information for promotional purposes without appropriate permission where required.

14. Photos, Videos, Audio, and Testimonials

We may occasionally wish to use photographs, videos, audio recordings, student work, testimonials, or similar materials for promotional, educational, or informational purposes.

Where such material identifies a child, we will obtain appropriate parental or legal guardian permission where required.

Permission for promotional use is separate from any permission necessary to provide the educational service.

A parent or legal guardian may withdraw promotional permission by contacting us.

15. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use third-party providers to operate our website and educational services.

These providers may assist with:

• video conferencing;
• website hosting;
• course delivery;
• payment processing;
• email and communications;
• customer support;
• analytics;
• website security; and
• other essential business functions.

Depending on the services we use, third-party providers may include Google, Zoom, payment processors, hosting providers, course platforms, and other technology providers.

We seek to use appropriate providers and, where required by applicable law, establish appropriate contractual and data-protection arrangements with them.

Third-party providers may process personal information only as necessary to provide their services to us and in accordance with their applicable terms and privacy requirements.

16. Payments

Where courses or services require payment, payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers.

We generally do not need to store complete payment-card details ourselves.

Payment providers may collect and process personal information according to their own privacy policies and applicable legal requirements.

We may retain transaction information necessary for:

• accounting;
• tax purposes;
• fraud prevention;
• customer support;
• dispute resolution; and
• legal compliance.

17. International Data Transfers

Livingston Global Academy provides online educational services to students and families internationally.

Some of the third-party providers we use may process personal information in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or outside the country in which the individual is located.

Where GDPR applies, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that international transfers of personal information are carried out using a lawful transfer mechanism or safeguard recognized under applicable data-protection law.

These safeguards may include:

• an adequacy decision;
• Standard Contractual Clauses;
• another legally recognized transfer mechanism; or
• another lawful safeguard available under applicable data-protection law.

18. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function properly.

Other cookies may be used for purposes such as:

• analytics;
• preferences;
• functionality; or
• marketing.

Where required by applicable law, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You may also be able to control cookies through your browser settings or our cookie-consent mechanism.

The specific cookies and technologies used on our website may change as our website and services develop.

19. Marketing Communications

We may send information about Livingston Global Academy, our courses, educational opportunities, or related services.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before sending marketing communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the communication or by contacting us.

Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending essential service-related communications, such as information about enrollment, purchases, courses, payments, security, or other necessary administrative matters.

20. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.

The appropriate retention period may depend on:

• the type of personal information;
• the purpose for which it was collected;
• whether the student or parent continues to use our services;
• legal, tax, and accounting requirements;
• the resolution of disputes; and
• legitimate business needs.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or securely dispose of it.

21. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against:

• unauthorized access;
• unauthorized disclosure;
• alteration;
• loss; and
• destruction.

However, no internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Parents and legal guardians should also take reasonable precautions when allowing children to participate in online services, including using appropriate device security and keeping account credentials confidential.

22. Your Privacy Rights

Where GDPR or another applicable data-protection law applies, you may have rights including:

• the right to access personal information;
• the right to correct inaccurate personal information;
• the right to request deletion of personal information;
• the right to request restriction of processing;
• the right to object to certain processing;
• the right to data portability in applicable circumstances;
• the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority.

These rights are subject to applicable legal limitations and exceptions.

23. Parents’ and Guardians’ Rights Regarding Children’s Information

Where applicable law provides parents or legal guardians with rights regarding a child’s personal information, a parent or legal guardian may contact us to:

• request information about personal information we hold about their child;
• request correction of inaccurate information;
• request deletion of information;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• object to certain processing; or
• request other actions available under applicable law.

We may take reasonable steps to verify the identity and parental or legal authority of a person making a request.

24. United States Children’s Privacy

Where our services are directed to or used by children in the United States and COPPA applies, we will comply with applicable COPPA requirements.

This may include:

• providing parents with appropriate notice;
• obtaining verifiable parental consent where required;
• limiting collection of children’s information to information reasonably necessary for the service;
• providing applicable parental rights; and
• allowing parents to request access to or deletion of their child’s personal information where required.

Parents may contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy.

25. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website or educational services may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites or services.

Parents and legal guardians should review the privacy policies and terms of third-party services before allowing a child to use them.

• changes to our services;
• changes to our technology;
• changes to the third-party providers we use;
• changes to applicable laws; or

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

If a change materially affects how we process personal information, we will provide additional notice where required by applicable law.

28. Supervisory Authorities

You may generally contact the supervisory authority in the country where you live, work, or where you believe a violation of data-protection law occurred.
