Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 December 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how IGCSE GCSE Maths (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website, book lessons, or contact us about tutoring services.

By using our website or submitting your details, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Who we are

IGCSE GCSE Maths provides online GCSE and IGCSE Mathematics tutoring, including 1-to-1 lessons, group classes, and exam revision bootcamps for students in the UK and worldwide.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at:

Email: farazhassan@igcsegcsemaths.com

2. Information we collect

We collect information in three main ways:

a) Information you provide directly

When you fill in a form, book an intro lesson, or contact us, we may collect:

  • Student name
  • Parent or guardian name
  • Email address
  • WhatsApp number or other contact details
  • Class type (1-to-1, group class, bootcamp)
  • Exam board and key stage (for example AQA, Edexcel, Cambridge IGCSE, GCSE, International GCSE)
  • Course or track (for example GCSE Foundation, IGCSE Core, IGCSE Extended, IGCSE Edexcel)
  • Year group and school year
  • Notes about current grades, target grades, challenges, and preferred lesson times
  • Any other information you choose to send to us by email or message

b) Payment information

We do not store your full payment card details on our own systems.

Payments may be processed through third-party providers such as:

  • Bank transfer
  • Ace Money Transfer
  • Wise
  • Xoom

These providers collect and process your payment details under their own privacy policies. We only receive confirmation that a payment has been made and basic transaction information (for example payer name, amount, and date).

c) Automatic data and cookies

When you visit our website, basic technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address and approximate location
  • Device type and browser type
  • Pages visited and time spent on the site

This is used to keep the site secure and to understand how visitors use the website. If we use cookies or similar technologies, they will only be used for essential site functionality and simple analytics. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and manage 1-to-1 lessons, group classes, and bootcamps
  • Recommend a suitable class type and course for the student
  • Communicate with you about bookings, schedules, homework, and exam preparation
  • Send reminders, updates, and important information about lessons
  • Process payments and keep basic financial records
  • Improve our teaching materials and website
  • Comply with legal, tax, or safeguarding obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Legal basis (for UK / EU visitors)

Where UK or EU data protection laws apply, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract (for example providing tutoring after you book lessons)
  • Your consent (for example when you submit a form or ask to receive information)
  • Our legitimate interests (for example improving our services and keeping our website secure)
  • Compliance with legal obligations (for example record-keeping and safeguarding)

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

5. Who we share your information with

We may share your information with:

  • Payment providers such as Ace Money Transfer, Wise, and Xoom so that your payments can be processed
  • Email and communication tools used to send confirmations and updates
  • Website hosting and analytics providers that help us run and secure the site
  • Professional advisers such as accountants, if necessary for legal or tax reasons
  • Authorities or law enforcement if required by law

We only share the minimum information needed for each purpose.

6. International transfers

Our tutoring services and website are available worldwide, and your information may be stored or processed in countries outside your own, for example where our hosting or payment providers are located.

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but internet transmission and storage can never be completely risk-free.

7. How long we keep your information

We keep your information only for as long as necessary to:

  • Provide tutoring services and manage our relationship with you
  • Meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements
  • Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

In general, we aim to keep student and parent details for the duration of active tutoring plus a reasonable period afterwards, then securely delete or anonymise them.

8. Children’s privacy

Many of our students are under 18. We aim to work with parents or guardians wherever possible.

  • We encourage a parent or guardian to complete the booking forms and handle payment.
  • If a student is under the minimum age required by local law, we expect the parent or guardian to give consent for us to use the student’s information to provide tutoring services.

We do not knowingly collect more information about children than is necessary to provide lessons.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you or your child
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Ask us to delete certain information, or restrict how it is used
  • Object to some types of processing
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, please contact us by email at farazhassan@igcsegcsemaths.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

10. Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to external sites, such as exam boards or payment providers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. You should review their privacy policies before providing any information to them.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will show when it was last changed.

If we make significant changes, we will take reasonable steps to let you know, for example by updating the website or sending an email where appropriate.
