Contact Page: https://tuition-ed.com/contact-us/
Please clearly describe your request and provide enough information for us to verify your identity and locate the relevant records.

To protect your personal data, we may ask you to verify your identity before processing certain requests. Where an authorized parent, guardian, or representative is making a request on behalf of someone else, we may ask for evidence of authority to act on that person’s behalf.
Response Time
We aim to respond to valid data protection requests without undue delay and, where applicable, within one month of receiving the request. If your request is complex or if we receive multiple requests, this period may be extended as permitted by law.
If we need more time or cannot fulfill your request, we will explain why.

Tuitioned may transfer personal data to service providers, partners, or systems located outside your country of residence.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to protect it in accordance with applicable law. These safeguards may include:

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the data, the purpose of processing, and legal or operational requirements. For general retention practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Automated Decision-Making
Tuitioned does not make legally significant decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing, including profiling, unless otherwise stated and permitted by law.
