Privacy Statement

Last updated 2026-01-08

Use of data

We process personal data to deliver courses, respond to enquiries, improve materials, and meet recordkeeping expectations. Analytics help us see which pages are confusing so we can rewrite them. Operational mailboxes are monitored by trained staff who sign confidentiality commitments. We do not sell personal data and we do not build automated profiles for unrelated marketing.

Contact

Questions about this Privacy Statement can be sent to the address shown on the Contact page or directly to the mailbox listed in the site footer. We aim to acknowledge messages within five business days. For data rights requests, include your full name, a description of the request, and a secure way to verify your identity.

Retention

Enrolment records, attendance notes, and assessment feedback are kept for a period consistent with quality standards and reasonable dispute windows, typically up to thirty-six months after cohort completion unless a longer period is required by law. Marketing preferences are stored until you withdraw consent. Server logs rotate on a shorter technical cycle.

Third parties

We rely on processors for email delivery, video conferencing, ticketing, and cloud hosting. Contracts include data processing terms suitable for Republic of Korea practices. If a subprocessors list is requested for your organization’s review, ask during procurement and we will provide the current roster under confidentiality.

Your rights

Depending on your situation, you may have rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction, and objection regarding certain processing. We will explain any limitations, such as when retention is legally required. You may lodge a concern with the Korea Personal Information Protection Commission where applicable.

Data collected

Categories include identity and contact details, billing references handled by our processors, technical identifiers like IP address during sessions, coursework uploads you choose to share, and notes mentors add during reviews. Sensitive categories are not requested unless a rare compliance-aware industry workshop explicitly requires them, in which case collection is minimized and documented separately.

Scope

This Statement covers the public marketing site and the authenticated learning portal operated under the same brand. Linked third-party sites follow their own policies. If we materially expand purposes, we will update this page and, where required, seek fresh consent.

Cookie Notice

Last updated 2025-12-03

Categories

We group cookies into strictly necessary, functional, and analytics categories. Strictly necessary items keep sessions secure and remember cookie choices. Functional items remember UI preferences such as theme. Analytics cookies help us understand navigation patterns in aggregate.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage keys used only for essential UI state. They cannot run programs on your machine by themselves. Duration varies from session-only to twelve months for preference storage unless you clear them sooner.

Contact

If you have questions about cookies or want a human-readable export of what we attempted to store, write to the mailbox in the footer. Include your browser name and version to speed troubleshooting.

Preferences

You can revisit choices using the Settings entry in the site header. Analytics remain off until you opt in through the banner or settings panel. Theme selection is stored locally and does not require analytics consent.

Consent

Where consent is the lawful basis, you may withdraw it without affecting prior processing legality. Withdrawing analytics consent stops new events; historical aggregates may remain in de-identified reports.

Third parties

Embedded providers may set their own cookies when their scripts load. We minimize embeds and prefer privacy-preserving configurations. Review provider notices for any optional embeds you encounter in classroom recordings.

Returns & Refunds

Last updated 2026-04-21

Contact

Refund requests should be emailed from the address used at purchase and include your cohort name, order reference, and reason. Our admissions desk triages messages within three business days. If you purchased through an employer purchase order, that organization’s administrator must co-send approval.

Process

We confirm eligibility against the timeframe rules, verify attendance milestones where relevant, and reply with an outcome. Approved refunds are initiated with the original processor. Partial refunds, when applicable, are calculated from unused live session weeks after documented withdrawal timestamps.

Timeframe

For consumer-style purchases, you may cancel within fourteen days of payment without giving a reason, provided live cohort sessions have not yet begun and no confidential download packs were accessed beyond previews. After cohort start, refund windows tighten as described under eligibility.

Eligibility

Full refunds apply within the cooling-off window when materials remain sealed per system logs. Partial refunds may be considered for medical absences supported by documentation or relocation beyond reasonable travel. Custom enterprise workshops billed separately follow the statement of work signed for that engagement.

Exceptions

No refunds are offered for completed certifications already issued, third-party exam vouchers redeemed, or misconduct-related removals. Promotional seats sold as final sale are labeled clearly at checkout.

Scope

This policy applies to tuition-like fees published on this site in KRW. It does not cover incidental expenses you incur personally, such as travel to optional meetups. Consumer rights under the Republic of Korea remain available where they exceed these terms.

Consumer rights under Republic of Korea law remain available where they exceed this summary.
