Newsletter and promotional communication

DecodingEdu will send newsletter or promotional communications only where you have subscribed or otherwise provided appropriate consent.

You may unsubscribe using the link included in an email or by contacting [email protected].

Unsubscribing from promotional emails may not prevent necessary operational messages relating to an order, registration, account or service you requested.

Interest-list submissions

Submitting an interest-list, notification or release-list form does not constitute a purchase, confirmed registration, guaranteed place, contractual commitment or promise that a course, webinar or product will be released on a particular date.

Payments

If online payments are introduced, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. DecodingEdu should not receive or retain complete payment-card credentials unless expressly stated at checkout.

The selected provider's terms and privacy policy may also apply.

Service providers

DecodingEdu may use trusted providers for:

• Website hosting
• Form management
• Email delivery
• Website analytics
• Course delivery
• Video conferencing
• Payment processing
• File storage
• Shipping and fulfilment

These providers may process limited information required to perform their services. Their own terms and privacy practices may also apply.

Cookies

The website may use essential, preference, analytics or marketing cookies. Additional information is available in the DecodingEdu Cookie Policy.

Where a cookie-consent tool is provided, you may accept or decline non-essential cookies.

Data retention

Information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate administrative or educational requirements, or where retention is required by applicable law.

Information that is no longer required should be securely deleted, anonymised or archived as appropriate.

Data security

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards will be used to protect personal information. However, no online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for protecting their passwords and immediately reporting suspected unauthorised access.

International services

Some website, email, cloud-storage, learning, analytics or payment providers may process information outside Pakistan. Where such providers are used, information may be handled according to their applicable terms, safeguards and legal obligations.

Children

DecodingEdu is primarily intended for adult educators, health professionals, university students and professional learners.

Users under 18 should use purchasing, registration or account functions only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

You may contact DecodingEdu to:

• Ask what personal information you have submitted
• Request correction of inaccurate information
