Theenglishflows.com takes your privacy seriously.

The policy applies to registered Teachers and Learners using our Service.
What information do we collect?
Personal information you provide
When you sign up for a free account, we collect your name and email, your date of birth, as well as your user profile status (Learner or Teacher).
Payment information
If you purchase a subscription plan from us, information about the purchase or transaction is collected. This includes your payment information, such as your credit/debit card number or bank account number, as well as other required account and authentication information, such as your billing address.
Sensitive payment information including credit card data is solely handled by our PCI-DSS 3 certified payment gateways – Stripe, which tokenize and store them in a highly encrypted, inaccessible data vault. The English Flows, being fully PCI compliant, does not directly store, process, view or handle credit card numbers at all, and does not have the ability to retrieve or view card numbers.

We collect information about how you are using our Service, for example how many pdf materials you have downloaded and which lesson pages you have viewed
Google Analytics log data
Like many site operators, we use Google Analytics, a third party service, to collect and analyse information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site (“Log Data”). This data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.
How do we use the information we collect?

Registered Teachers who have opted in to our email updates will receive a weekly or bi-weekly email newsletter containing links to our latest materials as well as suggested lesson plans to use in their classes.

We use the information we collect to help verify accounts and activity, and to promote safety and security, such as by investigating suspicious activity or violations of our terms and conditions.

How can I access, manage or delete my personal data?
You can view your personal data at any time by logging into your profile area. You can edit your basic account information at any time by logging into your profile area. You can also delete your account at any time by clicking the ‘Request Account Deletion’ button in the Account window of your profile area.
