4. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Admissions-related information is retained for a limited period following the last meaningful interaction, after which it is securely deleted. Where retention is required to comply with legal, accounting, or regulatory obligations, data may be retained for longer periods in accordance with UK law.
6. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to your personal data, request correction or deletion, restrict or object to processing, and request data portability where applicable. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact info@pathfindeducation.com.
