Educational Data Collection
For our creative writing programs, we collect additional information to support your learning journey. This includes writing samples (with your permission), feedback on assignments, participation in group discussions, and progress through course modules.
We also track engagement patterns to identify when students might need extra support or when they're ready for more challenging creative exercises. This data helps our instructors provide more personalised guidance during workshops and one-on-one sessions.

You can also request copies of your data, ask us to delete specific information, or pause data collection temporarily while still maintaining access to your courses and writing materials.
Data Retention and Storage
How Long We Keep Your Information
Data Security Measures
We protect your information using industry-standard security practices. Your creative writing submissions and personal progress data are encrypted both in transit and at rest. Access to detailed student information is limited to authorised instructors and support staff who need it to provide educational services.
Regular security audits ensure our systems meet current protection standards, and we update our practices as new security technologies become available.
Third-Party Services
We work with carefully selected partners to provide enhanced services to our creative writing community. These include educational technology platforms for course delivery, communication tools for workshop coordination, and analytics services to improve our programs.
Each third-party service has been evaluated for privacy compliance and data protection standards. We only share the minimum information necessary for them to provide their specific service, and we maintain agreements that restrict how they can use your data.
Student Support Services
Some data sharing supports your educational experience directly. For example, when you submit creative writing assignments, we may use plagiarism detection services to provide feedback on originality. When you join virtual workshops, video conferencing platforms process your participation data to ensure smooth technical delivery.
Updates and Changes
We review this policy regularly to ensure it accurately reflects our current practices and meets evolving privacy standards. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active students through their course dashboards and send updates to anyone subscribed to our educational newsletters.
Minor clarifications or technical updates may be made without individual notification, but the effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
Your Ongoing Rights
Regardless of any policy updates, you retain full control over your personal data and educational information. You can request access, corrections, or deletion at any time, and these rights extend to any data shared with our educational partners.
Questions About Data Usage?
We're committed to transparency in how we handle your information. If you have questions about this policy or want to discuss your privacy preferences, we're here to help.
