At Deutsch Schule, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously and appreciate the trust you have placed in us. We want to make the privacy of your data and how we will use it as clear as possible.
Who uses your data?
We collect your data only for our own purposes, i.e., to personalize and improve your website experience, to contact you if you need help, to subscribe to our newsletter, and to our school's database if you book a course with us.
We will never use your data with third-party programs or companies. Never.
How we will use your data
We also use the data generated when using our online services anonymously to create analyses and evaluations that can be used for statistical or marketing purposes. These include, for example, analysis of the most booked courses, the most popular course types, and so on. In addition, we reserve the right to use personal data for other purposes permitted by applicable data protection regulations, in particular to maintain data security and prevent disruptions and misuse of our online services (e.g., intentional attacks on computer systems).
Finally, the use of data may also be necessary due to a legal obligation or regulatory or court order, as well as to establish or maintain legal claims or defend against legal action.
Booking a Course
When you book a course, we will store your data in our database for use in our academy, both for teaching you based on your level and for delivering your course certificate.
This data will only be held by us and will not be used for anything other than our academy's purposes.

The data used in contact will only be used to communicate with you.
