Western International College London (WINC) is committed to protecting the privacy of all users of the www.wincedu.uk website and associated online services. The Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected, used, stored, and disclosed when you interact with the site, submit enquiries, or enrol in programmes.
WINC may collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, and postal address when you complete enquiry forms, submit applications, or correspond with staff. This information is used to contact you, process your requests, administer your studies, and enhance the overall user experience; it will not be collected beyond what is necessary for these purposes.
In addition to information you provide directly, WINC may automatically collect “Log Data” when you access the Service, including your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, date and time of visit, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic statistics. This information helps monitor performance, improve content, and maintain the security and reliability of the Service.
The website may use cookies—small data files stored on your device—to remember preferences, support navigation, and analyse usage patterns to improve services. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to notify you when cookies are being sent, but certain features of the site may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.
WINC may engage trusted third-party service providers to assist with hosting, analytics, communications, and other service-related functions. These providers may have access to personal information strictly for the purpose of performing tasks on WINC’s behalf and are contractually obligated not to use or disclose the information for any other purpose.
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are employed to safeguard personal information, including commercially acceptable security practices appropriate for an educational institution. However, as no method of data transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed 100% secure, WINC cannot promise absolute security and encourages users to take care when sharing personal details online.
The website may contain links to external sites that are not operated or controlled by WINC, and users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit. WINC is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security standards of these external websites.
The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13, and WINC does not knowingly collect personal information from children in this age group. If it is discovered that personal data has been collected from a child under 13 without parental consent, WINC will promptly delete such data from its systems and encourages anyone aware of such collection to contact the college.
WINC reserves the right to update or modify the Privacy Policy from time to time, and changes become effective when posted on the website. Continued use of the Service after such changes indicates acknowledgement and acceptance of the updated terms, and users are advised to review the policy periodically.
Users with questions or concerns regarding the Privacy Policy, or who wish to exercise privacy-related rights, can contact WINC using the contact details provided on the website.
