If paid courses or other paid services are offered through our website, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider.

Where such a provider is used, its own terms and privacy policy may apply to the payment transaction. We do not intend to collect or store complete payment card details through ordinary website enquiry forms.

Please review the payment provider’s privacy information before completing a transaction. This section applies only to payment features actually offered on our website.
