3. Retention Periods
3.1 Active Accounts
Data associated with active user accounts is retained for the entire duration of the account's existence. This includes all profile data, learning records, and activity history necessary to provide uninterrupted access to purchased content and platform features.
3.2 Inactive Accounts
An account is considered inactive when there has been no login, purchase, or meaningful platform interaction for a continuous period of twenty-four months. Users with inactive accounts will receive a notification prior to any data review or removal action.
3.3 Billing and Financial Records
Transaction records, invoices, and payment-related data are retained for a minimum of seven years to satisfy financial recordkeeping obligations. This data is held in a restricted access state and is not used for marketing or service improvement purposes after the account is closed.
3.4 Support and Communications
Records of support interactions are retained for three years from the date of the last message in a given thread. This enables continuity of service and reference in the event of related future enquiries.
3.5 Technical Logs
Server logs, access logs, and error records are retained for ninety days, after which they are automatically purged. Aggregated and anonymised derivatives of this data may be retained indefinitely for system performance analysis.
3.6 Marketing Preferences
Records of consent for marketing communications are retained for five years from the date consent was given or withdrawn, providing an auditable trail of user preferences.
4. Data Deletion and Anonymisation
4.1 Account Closure
When a user requests account deletion, personal identifiers including name, email address, and contact details are permanently removed from active systems within thirty days of the confirmed request. Certain records subject to mandatory retention periods as described in Section 3 will be retained in restricted form until those periods expire.
4.2 Anonymisation as an Alternative
In some circumstances, rather than deleting data outright, we may anonymise it such that it can no longer be associated with any identifiable individual. Anonymised data falls outside the scope of this policy and may be retained and used without restriction for statistical and analytical purposes.
4.3 Automated Deletion Processes
We maintain automated systems that identify and remove data that has reached the end of its applicable retention period. These processes run on a scheduled basis to ensure timely and consistent data disposal.
5. Legal Holds and Extended Retention
Notwithstanding any standard retention period defined in this policy, data may be retained for an extended duration where:
- It is subject to an active legal hold, dispute, or investigation
- Retention is required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
- A regulatory authority has issued a preservation requirement
- Contractual obligations require continued access to specific records
Once a legal hold is lifted or the relevant proceeding is concluded, the affected data will be reviewed and disposed of in accordance with standard retention schedules.
6. Data Storage and Security During Retention
All retained data is stored using industry-standard security measures including encryption at rest and in transit. Access to retained data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their assigned responsibilities. Periodic access reviews are conducted to ensure that retention of sensitive data remains appropriate and proportionate.
Data held beyond its active use period is placed in restricted storage, where it is inaccessible to operational systems and staff except where expressly required for the purposes outlined in this policy.
7. Third-Party Data Processors
Where personal data is processed by third-party service providers acting on our behalf, those providers are contractually required to adhere to retention standards consistent with this policy. Upon termination of any such arrangement, processors are required to return or securely destroy all personal data in their possession within a defined period agreed at the time of engagement.
8. Your Rights Regarding Retained Data
Subject to applicable law and the limitations described in this policy, individuals may have the right to:
- Request access to personal data we hold about them
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of personal data where no legitimate retention basis applies
- Object to the continued retention of data used for specific purposes
- Request a copy of data in a portable, structured format
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 10 of this policy.
9. Policy Review and Updates
This policy is reviewed at least once per calendar year or whenever material changes to our data practices, applicable law, or operational structure make a review necessary. When significant changes are made, we will notify affected users through the platform or by email prior to the updated policy taking effect. Continued use of our services following notification constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
