This Privacy Policy is drafted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and other applicable data protection laws. By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

3. Scope of This Policy

This Policy covers personal data processed through this website — the Lughati Academy head-office site — including partnership inquiries, contact-form submissions, and general site analytics.

It does not cover the processing of student data on our individual school websites, which each maintain their own dedicated privacy policy for course purchases, lesson delivery, and student accounts. See Section 14 for links.
