This policy explains how I collect and use your personal data when you visit my website, book a trial lesson, or buy lessons.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is:
Alena Kurilina, operating as Russian Rewired.
VAT number (P. IVA): IT01903850624. Address: San Lorenzello (BN), Via Telese 64, 82030, Italy. Email: [email protected]
I act in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Italian data protection law.
2. What data I collect
If you book a trial lesson: your name, your email address, the time you chose, and what you write in the booking form.
If you write to me by email or on Instagram: your name or username and the content of your messages.
If you buy lessons: your name, email address, country, what you bought, the amount, the date, and the invoice or receipt. I do not see or store your full card number. Card details are handled by the payment provider.
If you are my student: your account on the learning platform, your progress, your homework and my feedback, your messages in a group chat, and my notes about your lessons and your learning plan.
If you attend a live lesson: your name as shown in the call, your image and voice during the call, and your messages in the chat of the call. Live group lessons are recorded, so that students who miss a lesson can watch it. The recording is shared only with the members of that group.
Automatically, when you visit the website: your IP address and your browser and device type, as received by the services listed in section 5.
I do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. My lessons are sold to adults only.
