Brightfield Studio (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an online school for creative and digital skills. We act as the data controller for personal data collected via this website and our learning platform.

We may process the following categories of personal data:

• Contact details: name, email, phone number, billing address, country.
• Account data: login, user ID, course enrollments, preferences.
• Payment data: transaction details and billing info (card data is handled by payment providers, not stored by us).
• Learning data: course progress, assignments, feedback, messages inside the platform.
• Technical data: IP address, device, browser, logs, pages viewed, and cookies.
• Marketing data: newsletter opt‑in status and interaction with campaigns.

We use personal data to:

• Provide access to courses, materials and your account (contract performance).
• Process payments, invoices and refunds, and comply with tax and accounting rules (legal obligation).
• Communicate with you about orders, updates, and support requests.
• Improve content, features and user experience based on anonymized or aggregated usage.
• Send marketing emails where allowed, and only until you unsubscribe (consent or legitimate interest).
• Protect our platform, prevent fraud and enforce our Terms of Service.

Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on:

• Performance of a contract – providing the courses and services you purchase.
• Legal obligations – keeping records for tax, accounting and compliance.
• Legitimate interests – improving services, preventing abuse, supporting existing learners, provided your rights are not overridden.
• Consent – for certain cookies, newsletters and marketing activities where required.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, enable checkout, remember preferences and measure site performance.

You can manage cookies in your browser and, where required by law, through a cookie banner on our site. Disabling some cookies may affect how the site and courses work.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

• Service providers (hosting, LMS, payment, email, analytics, marketing) under written contracts.
• Business partners involved in co‑branded programs, only where necessary and lawful.
• Public authorities when required by law or to protect our rights and users.
• Successors in case of a merger, acquisition or similar transaction, with appropriate safeguards.

Your data may be processed in other countries, which can have different data protection laws. Where required, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms for cross‑border transfers.

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above, including:

• the time your account and course access remain active,
• periods required by tax and accounting rules,
• time needed to handle disputes and enforce agreements.

After this, data is deleted or irreversibly anonymized unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

• access your personal data and obtain a copy,
• correct inaccurate or incomplete information,
• request deletion of data in certain cases,
• restrict or object to some processing, including direct marketing,
• receive data in a portable format, where technically feasible,
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@brightfield-skill-studio.com. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity.

If you believe your rights have been violated, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Our services are not directed to children under 13 (or any higher age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect data from children in this age group.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps, including deletion where required.

Our website may contain links to third‑party sites or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to them, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. You should review their policies before sharing data.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorized access.

No system can be completely secure, so you should also protect your account by using a strong password and keeping your login details confidential.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when the latest version took effect.

If changes are material, we may notify you via email, platform message, or a notice on the site. Your continued use of our services after changes means you accept the updated policy.
