Some of these providers may process data outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), such as in the United States.

We never sell or rent your personal information.

Our website is suitable for users of all ages. However, purchases and subscriptions must be made by an adult. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental consent.
If we ever collect information from children through school or youth programmes, it will always be done with parental or guardian consent and in line with our Safeguarding and Data Protection Policies.

8. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request corrections or deletions.
• Withdraw consent or opt out of marketing.
• Restrict or object to processing in certain situations.
• Request data portability where applicable.

You can exercise these rights by contacting natalie@revolutionaryeducation.co.uk.
If you have concerns about how your data is handled, you can also raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.

9. Data Storage and Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. This includes password protection, encryption, secure cloud storage, and staff training on data confidentiality.
Our partners (such as Stripe, MailerLite, and Google) are GDPR-compliant and maintain strong security measures.

• Purchase and payment data are retained for up to seven years (for accounting and legal purposes).
• Mailing list data are retained until you withdraw consent.
• Enquiry emails are typically deleted within 12 months.
