Welcome to Norte Study. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we handle your information when you visit our website, use our interactive planning tools, or book an advisory call with our team.

Norte Study is an independent international education agency registered in Ireland. Because we operate within the European Union, we protect your information strictly under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who We Are

Norte Study acts as the “Data Controller” for the personal information you share with us. This means we decide how and why your personal data is processed. If you have any questions about this document or want to exercise your legal rights, you can contact us at any time.

• Company Name: Norte Study
• Contact Email: privacy@m456sjcaa8.onrocket.site
• Registered Location: Ireland (European Union)

2. Information We Collect

We only collect information that helps us give you accurate advice and process your international school applications. What we collect depends on how far along you are in that process.

If you’re getting a quote or planning your options, we collect:

• Contact Details: Your name, email address, phone number, and current country of residence.
• Planning Details: The target countries, general passport type, budget numbers, and course lengths you enter into our interactive calculators or forms.
• Technical Details: Your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, and how you navigate our website pages.

If you go on to book a course with us, we additionally collect:

• Identity Details: Your date of birth, nationality, and passport number, needed to confirm your eligibility and complete your official application with the school.

3. How We Collect Your Data

You provide most of this data directly to us. We collect information when you:

• Use our Planning Tools/Calculators.
• Fill out our online contact forms or request school pricing.
• Book a direct advisory call with our team.
• Communicate with us via email or instant messaging.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly to help you plan your international education. We will never sell, rent, or trade your contact details to third-party marketing lists. We process your information to:

• Give you realistic cost breakdowns for your chosen study location.
• Check your nationality against official national immigration rules.
• Connect you with verified language schools when you decide to book a course.
• Send you important administrative confirmations and paperwork updates.
• Run our internal business operations safely and legally.

5. Our Legal Reasons for Processing

Under GDPR law, we must have a valid legal reason to process your personal data. We rely on the following lawful bases:

• Your Consent: When you explicitly agree to let us process your data for a specific purpose, such as submitting an inquiry form or signing up for updates.
• Contract Necessity: When we need your information to carry out our advisory services or secure your placement with a partner school.
• Legal Obligation: When we need to keep basic financial or statutory records to comply with Irish and European law.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

To get you the official direct school price, we must share your basic application details with the educational institutes you select. We only share data with:

• Verified Partner Schools: Accredited language academies you explicitly choose to apply to.
• Core Software Providers: Secure technology companies that host our website, run our database systems, and manage our booking calendars.
• Legal Authorities: Government or law enforcement bodies if we are strictly required to do so by Irish or EU law.

Some of our Core Software Providers, including the systems we use to manage bookings and operations, are based outside the European Economic Area. Where this is the case, your data is protected under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, backed by Standard Contractual Clauses, as required under GDPR.

7. How We Protect Your Data

We use strong digital security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, altered, or accessed by unauthorised people. We limit access to your personal information strictly to staff members and partner academies who have a genuine business need to see it.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it to complete the services you requested. If you book a course through us, we keep basic transaction records for the statutory tax period required by Irish law.

If you use our planning tools or contact us but don’t go on to book a course, we keep your contact and enquiry details for up to 24 months from your last interaction with us, reflecting the fact that many students plan their move well in advance.

After that period with no further activity, your records are deleted from our active database.

9. Your Legal Rights Under GDPR

Because our business operates under European law, you hold strong legal rights regarding your personal information. At any time, you have the right to:

• Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Ask us to delete your data entirely if there is no legal reason for us to keep it.
• Ask us to restrict how we use your data while a request or dispute is being resolved.
• Object to us processing your data for certain purposes.
• Ask us to transfer your data to another provider in a structured, commonly used format.
• Withdraw your consent for us to contact you.

To exercise any of these rights, simply send an email to privacy@m456sjcaa8.onrocket.site. We will respond to your request within one month, as required under GDPR.

If you are ever unhappy with how we have handled your data, you also have the right to lodge a complaint directly with Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, the independent authority responsible for enforcing data protection law.

10. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses basic cookies to keep our interactive calculators working properly and to help us understand how visitors use our pages. You can set your web browser to block or refuse cookies at any time, though some interactive features on our site may not work correctly without them.

11. Changes to This Policy

We review and update this privacy notice regularly to match new legal requirements and business features. Any changes will be posted directly on this page with an updated revision date.
