Privacy Policy


We recognise that you need to know why we gather information about you, and how we will use it. We take your privacy very seriously, and we guarantee that we will do all we can to protect it. We've written this Privacy Policy so that you can rest assured that any information you give us is in safe hands.

We do change our Privacy Policy very occasionally, so we encourage you to check back from time to time to keep updated.


Why we collect personal information:

We try to collect as little information as possible, so that you can be confident that the details you give us are the details that we need.

Collecting your personal details helps us to keep in touch with you. We can let you know about special offers or promotions that might be of interest to you. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we can send it to you regularly so that you can stay up to date on developments at etc and in the world of TEFL.

We try to make our site user friendly and personal - and we listen to what you say. So if we notice that the information you have given us isn't catered for on the site, we might contact you to ask you for your opinion on how we can make the site better.


How we gather information about you:

Sometimes we provide an email link on the website. This will give us your email address, and sometimes other basic facts about you. We use this information to develop a website that really reflects what you want to see, and also to keep in touch with you about etc developments.

When you enrol on an etc course, we ask for more detailed information. We collect details such as your credit card billing address, your contact telephone number and your credit card information. This information is essential for us to be able to process your transaction. However, we guarantee that all your details are stored securely, and for as short a time as possible.


Other companies and etc:

At etc we do not sell, rent or trade your information to any other company, unless we tell you first. Our site may link to external sites that collect personal information about you when you choose to access them. This type of data collection and use is outside of our control, and so is not covered by our Privacy Policy.

We may occasionally need to share your information with our business partners. This might be for promotions, competitions or other services. This will only ever happen with sites and companies that we are sure have the same level of security as etc - and your details will always remain our property. You will always be given the option not to share your information.

When you enrol on a course, sign up to receive promotional items or purchase an item from us, we might need to share some of your personal information with the third parties (such as our bank, Amazon or Paypal) helping to complete the transaction. When we do this, we guarantee that we will only give them essential information.


And finally:

If you want to change or modify any of the details that you have given us, or any of your subscription options, you simply need to email us: Privacy Policy . Or, you can write to us at our UK address:     

Wherever we ask you for personal information, we include a link to this Privacy Policy.  

By using the English TEFL Centre (etc) website, you agree to the collection, use and storage of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Our Privacy Policy does change from time to time. Please check regularly for updates.
