Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Linguist Hub handles personal data in connection with its website, course enquiries, screening, enrolment, and related language course services in Hong Kong and online.
How We Use Data
We use personal data to respond to enquiries, assess language level, match learners to suitable groups and timetables, confirm course terms, manage enrolment, arrange lessons, support guided practice and progress review, process payments, maintain records, operate the website, protect against misuse, and meet legal or accounting obligations.
Service Providers
We may share personal data with payment processors, website hosting providers, communication tools, scheduling systems, and other operational partners that help us run the website and deliver course services. These parties are expected to use the information only for the services they provide to us and to protect it appropriately.
Legal Disclosures
We may share personal data when required to comply with law, court orders, regulatory requests, tax obligations, or other lawful processes. We may also disclose information where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Data We Collect
We may collect identification details, contact details, course enquiry information, level screening responses, timetable preferences, enrolment records, attendance information, payment-related records, and communications sent through our website or booking channels. Where online lessons are arranged, we may also process technical information needed to support the session.
How We Collect Data
We receive personal data directly from you when you submit an enquiry, book a consultation, complete screening, enrol, or communicate with us. We also collect limited technical data automatically when you use the website, and we may receive administrative information from payment, scheduling, or online lesson tools used to deliver our services.
Types of Cookies
Our website may use essential cookies, functional cookies, and limited analytics cookies. Essential cookies help the site operate securely and reliably. Functional cookies support remembered settings or form behaviour. Analytics cookies help us understand general site use and improve performance without relying on unnecessary data.
Cookie Controls
You may manage cookies through your browser controls and, where available, through any on-site preference tools. Disabling certain cookies may limit form handling, session continuity, or other basic website functions.
Your Rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of data that is no longer needed, or restriction of certain processing. Some requests may be limited where we must keep records for legal, accounting, or service administration reasons.
How to Make a Request
To make a privacy request, provide enough information for us to identify the relevant record and describe the action you want us to take. We may ask for additional details to verify the request and to protect against unauthorised access or changes.
Retention of Data
Retention periods depend on the type of record and the reason it was collected. Enquiry, enrolment, payment, attendance, and communication records are kept for the period needed to manage the service, resolve issues, meet legal obligations, and maintain business records, after which they are deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
Policy Updates
If we make material changes, we will update the policy on this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version applies from its stated effective date.
