08 — International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers or platform partners may process personal data outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful and that your data remains protected. These safeguards may include:
- transfer to a country recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection
- use of Standard Contractual Clauses

Because certain tools used in online education, payments, analytics, email, hosting, or community management may involve international data flows, such transfers may occur when necessary to provide the service.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
As a general rule:

- support communications may be retained for operational and dispute-resolution purposes

These measures may include, where appropriate:
- access controls

- encryption in transit where supported
- service provider due diligence
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18, or under the age of legal majority applicable in the relevant jurisdiction for access to trading-related educational services.
