Privacy Policy & UK GDPR Compliance

In strict adherence to the data minimisation principle under UK GDPR Article 5(1)(c), we collect only what is strictly necessary to address academic enquiries, calibrate custom model research briefs, and deliver completed coursework materials. Depending on platform interaction, this comprises:

Under UK GDPR Article 6, we process personal information strictly when backed by a recognized lawful basis. The table below details our primary operational purposes alongside their corresponding legal ground:

Academic files you upload (including coursework briefs, module marking grids, lecture notes, and draft outlines) may inadvertently contain third-party personal data regarding tutors, seminar classmates, empirical research interviewees, or patient subjects.

Please upload only materials essential to fulfilling the research brief, and make sure to remove or redact identifying names, email addresses, and private contact details of third parties prior to transmission.

We handle uploaded briefs under strict access segregation: only verified doctoral faculty actively assigned to write, review, or quality-assure the brief have access to the files. Uploaded materials are never used for commercial advertising, public display, or repository indexing.

We deploy cookies and local storage tokens to maintain authenticated sessions, secure form submissions, remember user preferences, and analyze aggregate traffic patterns. Non-essential cookies (such as web performance analytics or marketing measurement tags) are activated only after you grant consent via our cookie banner.

Users can manage, restrict, or revoke cookie consent at any point via browser preferences or by consulting our dedicated Cookie Policy. Please note that disabling essential session cookies may impair portal functionality and order tracking.

We share personal information strictly on a need-to-know basis, and exclusively with vetted third parties who operate under legally binding data processing agreements:

While our primary servers and management reside in the United Kingdom, certain specialized doctoral researchers or technology service sub-processors may operate internationally outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA).

Whenever personal data is transferred across borders, we implement robust statutory safeguards recognized under UK GDPR Chapter V:

We retain personal records only for the duration required to satisfy the legitimate operational purposes for which they were gathered, or to comply with statutory accounting and tax regulations. The schedule below governs automated data life cycles:

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security controls designed to prevent unauthorized alteration, disclosure, access, or loss of student coursework and identity data:

As a data subject under UK data protection legislation, individuals are entitled to exercise the following enforceable statutory rights regarding stored personal records:

Our academic mentorship services and model research briefs are calibrated specifically for higher education university students. We do not knowingly offer services to, or collect personal data from, individuals under 18 years of age. If we discover that a minor has submitted personal information, we take immediate action to purge the data from our live systems.

Our portal may link to external educational repositories, DOI citation databases, academic journals, or communication apps (e.g. WhatsApp). We do not control and cannot be held responsible for the external data privacy practices of these third-party platforms. We encourage you to review their independent privacy declarations upon leaving our website.

We periodically review and update this Privacy Policy to mirror amendments in UK data protection statutes, judicial rulings, or new academic platform tools. Material changes will be highlighted via site notices or direct email alerts to active registered students. The "Last updated" banner at the top of this document indicates the effective revision date.
