Depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances, we process personal information based on:
- Your explicit consent;
- Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract;
- Compliance with legal obligations;
- Legitimate business interests (where permitted by applicable law); and

Where consent is required by applicable law, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
5.Educational and Admission Information
If you use Ecampus to enquire about or apply for an educational programme, we process academic qualifications, professional background, course choices, identification documents, and contact details.
Where an application involves a university, college, awarding body, or partner institution, relevant information is shared with that entity to process your enquiry or admission.
The relevant institution will separately process your data under its own privacy policies.
6.Payments
Payment transactions are processed by Ecampus or authorised third-party payment service providers.
We receive transaction metadata (amount, date, status, transaction ID) but generally do not store complete credit card numbers, CVV codes, or sensitive payment credentials.
Third-party payment gateways process your data according to their respective privacy policies.
8.International Data Transfers
Ecampus operates using global technology infrastructure and educational partners located in various countries.
Consequently, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed outside your home jurisdiction.
Where required by law, we implement standard contractual clauses and appropriate technical safeguards for cross-border data transfers.
9.Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including fulfilling educational requests, resolving disputes, maintaining accounting records, and complying with legal obligations.
Once data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, anonymised, or disposed of in accordance with our data destruction policies.
10.Data Security
We implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction.
Safeguards include encryption protocols, strict access controls, secure cloud infrastructure, and regular system monitoring.
While we maintain robust security standards, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
