Your privacy,
hardcoded.
We never sell, rent, or trade student lists. Our business is education, not data brokerage.
Limited Access
Only administrative staff directly involved in your enrollment have access to personal identifiers. Instructors only see what is necessary for pedagogical success.
No External Hosting
Student information is stored on encrypted private instances, minimizing exposure to public cloud vulnerabilities and third-party tracking.
Student Rights
You retain full control. Under KVKK (Turkey's Personal Data Protection Law), you may request a copy or deletion of your records at any time.
Navigating the legal landscape.
Operating in Istanbul, Bright Trace English Academy strictly adheres to the Turkish Law on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK) No. 6698. We act as the Data Controller for all students enrolled in our academy.
The primary legal basis for our processing is the fulfillment of our educational contract with you. Without this data, we could not provide internationally recognized English certifications or manage classroom logistics effectively.
