In so far as we obtain your consent to process personal data, your consent serves as the legal basis. This is the case for example in connection with our newsletter, if you use our student platform or if you respond to advertising.
We also process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest. This includes processing for purposes of:
- optimising and personalising our website

The disclosure of personal data to third parties
Are third parties used for processing data?
We use third party service providers for data processing. Service providers are generally involved as so-called “processors”, who may only process the personal data of the users of our website in accordance with our instructions. For example, your email address may be passed along to a service provider in order for it to send you a newsletter you requested.
How long does English FIT retain the personal data?
We store your data for as long as is necessary in order to provide our website services and the related services or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in continuing storage. In all other cases, we delete your personal data, with the exception of any data that we are required to retain in order to comply with legal obligations (e.g., retention obligations).
