3. Who Is Responsible for Your Personal Information?
For most activities described in this Privacy Policy, MR EDTECH LTD, trading through Crypto Compliance Academy, is the data controller. This means we decide why and how personal information is processed.
In some cases, we may process information on behalf of another organisation, such as an employer, business client, corporate training partner, or organisation that enrols learners onto our courses. Where this applies, that organisation may also be a controller of your personal information and may provide its own privacy information.
For privacy questions or requests, contact us at [email protected].

However, no website, platform, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
13. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The retention period may depend on the type of information, your account status, course access and completion requirements, certificate and learning record requirements, customer support needs, legal, tax and accounting obligations, fraud prevention and security requirements, dispute resolution needs, and business recordkeeping requirements.
When personal information is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymise, or securely archive it.
