If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), Up Learn Limited legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it.

• You have given us permission to do so
• The processing is in our legitimate interests and it’s not overridden by your rights
• For payment processing purposes
• To comply with the law

For example, we process your email address and password as that allows you to have a unique account on Up Learn in which to use and benefit from our Service. In this case, we are processing this data in order to perform our contract with you. If the contract is terminated, you are able to request us to stop processing and remove this data.

We also ask your name so that we can address you in a personal way, improving your experience of the Services.
