Those websites have their own privacy notices reflecting the services and technologies they use.

Navigation and technical data

When you visit the website, the hosting and security infrastructure may automatically process technical information required to deliver the website and maintain its security.

• pages and resources requested;
• browser, operating-system and device information;
• the request method and server response code;
• technical information relating to errors, security and website performance.

These data are normally processed automatically as part of the technical operation of the website. They are not used by us to create individual visitor profiles.

Information provided voluntarily

English.gratis currently has no registration, newsletter, contact or payment forms.

If you voluntarily contact Language Consultants by email, we will process your email address, message and any other information you choose to provide so that we can respond to your request.

4. Purposes and legal bases

Technical and navigation data may be processed for the following purposes:

• delivering the website and its content;

• diagnosing technical errors and protecting the infrastructure;
• complying with legal obligations or lawful requests from public authorities;
• establishing, exercising or defending legal claims where necessary.

The relevant legal bases may include the controller’s legitimate interest in operating and protecting the website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and compliance with legal obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Information sent voluntarily by email is processed in order to respond to your request and, where relevant, to take steps at your request before entering into a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

5. Cookies and tracking technologies

English.gratis is currently configured without analytics, advertising pixels, behavioural profiling or marketing-tracking technologies.

The public website does not intentionally install non-essential cookies. WordPress, the hosting provider or website-security systems may use strictly necessary technical cookies for administrative, security or operational purposes.

Strictly necessary technical cookies are not used to create visitor profiles or deliver personalised advertising.

Because the website currently uses no non-essential tracking technologies, no consent banner is displayed.

This notice will be updated before analytics, marketing tools, embedded third-party services or other non-essential technologies are introduced.

6. Data retention

Technical and security logs are retained only for the period reasonably necessary to operate, secure and troubleshoot the website, subject to the technical configuration and retention settings of the relevant hosting and security providers.

Data may be retained for a longer period where required by law, requested by a competent authority or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Information sent by email is retained for the time necessary to respond and manage the related correspondence, followed by any additional period required by applicable legal or administrative obligations.

• website hosting and infrastructure providers;
• website maintenance and security providers;
• email and communications providers;

Service providers acting as data processors are required to process personal data in accordance with applicable data-protection law and the controller’s documented instructions.

Personal data collected through this website are not sold to advertisers or data brokers.

8. International data transfers

If a technical service provider processes personal data outside the European Economic Area, the transfer will be managed in accordance with Chapter V GDPR and an applicable legal transfer mechanism.
