Simply Swedish with Jessie respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This privacy policy explains what information I collect, why I collect it, how it is used and the choices you have about your personal data.

Who I am

Simply Swedish with Jessie provides online Swedish language tuition, learning resources and Swedish-English translation services.

For the purposes of UK data protection law, Simply Swedish with Jessie is responsible for the personal information collected through this website and in connection with my services.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your information is used, you can contact me at:

Email: jessie_saade@hotmail.com

Information I may collect

Depending on how you use my website or services, I may collect:

• Your name

• Your email address

• Your current Swedish language level

• Information about the lessons or services you are interested in

• Information you provide through my contact or enquiry forms

• Details relating to lessons, consultations or translation enquiries

• Information needed to provide and manage your lessons

• Payment and transaction information

• Your marketing preferences

• Basic technical information about how you use the website, where applicable

Please do not provide sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary.

How I use your information

I may use your personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries

• Arrange free consultations

• Provide and manage Swedish lessons

• Prepare personalised teaching materials

• Communicate with students about lessons

• Provide translation services

• Process payments and maintain appropriate financial records

• Send requested resources, such as the free Swedish A1 Starter Pack

• Send Swedish learning tips, news or other updates where you have chosen to receive them

• Improve my website and services

• Meet legal, tax and accounting requirements

• Protect the security and proper operation of my website and business

My legal basis for using your information

I only use personal information where I have a lawful reason to do so.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Contract

I may need to use your information to provide lessons, translation services or other services you have asked me to provide, or to take steps at your request before providing those services.

Legitimate interests

I may use your information where it is reasonably necessary to operate and improve Simply Swedish with Jessie, respond to enquiries and manage my relationship with students, provided your rights and interests do not override those interests.

Consent

Where you choose to receive newsletters, Swedish learning tips or promotional emails, I may rely on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Legal obligation

I may need to keep or use certain information to comply with tax, accounting or other legal requirements.

Free Swedish A1 Starter Pack

If you request my free Swedish A1 Starter Pack, I will use your email address to send you the resource you requested.

Receiving the Starter Pack does not automatically mean that you have agreed to receive ongoing marketing emails unless you have separately chosen to do so.

If you opt in to receive Swedish tips, news and updates, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option in my emails or by contacting me directly.

Contact forms and enquiries

When you complete a contact form, I use the information you provide to understand your enquiry and respond to you.

Submitting an enquiry does not automatically subscribe you to marketing emails. If you would like to receive news and updates from Simply Swedish with Jessie, you can choose to opt in separately.

Children and young learners

I provide Swedish lessons to both adults and children.

Where a student is under 18, I may need to hold limited information about the student as well as contact information for their parent or guardian in order to arrange and provide lessons safely and effectively.

I only collect information that is reasonably necessary for providing the service.

Online lessons

Online lessons may take place using third-party services such as Microsoft Teams.

These services may process information such as your name, email address or account information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

I encourage you to review the privacy settings and policies of any third-party platform you choose to use.

Payments

If you purchase lessons, resources or other services, payment information may be processed by banks, payment providers or third-party sales platforms.

I do not normally receive or store your full debit or credit card details where payment is handled by an external payment provider.

Learning resources and external websites

My website may contain links to external platforms, including websites where my Swedish learning resources are available for purchase.

These websites operate independently from Simply Swedish with Jessie and have their own privacy policies. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

Who I share your information with

I do not sell your personal information.

I may share limited information with trusted service providers where this is necessary to operate my business, including:

• Website and hosting providers

• Email and communication services

• Online teaching platforms

• Payment providers

• Accounting or administrative services

• Learning-resource sales platforms

These organisations may only receive the information necessary for the service they provide.

I may also disclose information where required by law.

International data transfers

Some technology providers I use may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by UK data protection law.

How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed.

As a general guide:

• Enquiries that do not lead to lessons or another service may normally be deleted after 12 months

• Student records may normally be kept for the duration of the teaching relationship and for up to two years afterwards

• Marketing information is kept until you unsubscribe or withdraw your consent

• Financial and tax records are kept for the period required by UK law

• Information may be kept for longer where there is a legal, contractual or legitimate reason to do so

I regularly review the information I hold and delete information that is no longer needed.

Cookies

My website may use cookies and similar technologies to help it function correctly and, where enabled, to understand how visitors use the site.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to work.

Where consent is required for analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies, these should only be used after you have made your choice through the website's cookie settings.

You can change your cookie preferences where these controls are available.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:

• Ask for a copy of the personal information I hold about you

• Ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete information

• Ask me to delete your information in certain circumstances

• Ask me to restrict how your information is used

• Object to certain uses of your information

• Withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent

• Ask for certain information to be transferred to you or another organisation

• Complain about how your personal information has been handled

These rights do not apply in every circumstance, but I will always consider any request in accordance with applicable data protection law.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the email address above.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how I have handled your personal information, please contact me first and I will do my best to resolve it.

You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to my website, services or legal requirements.

The latest version will always be published on the Simply Swedish with Jessie website with the date of the most recent update.
