Who we are

Yorkshire College ("we", "us") of Oxford Row, Oxford Place, Leeds LS1 3AU is the data controller for personal information collected through this website and in the course of providing English language courses.

Contact: info@theyorkshirecollege.com · +44 7774 960660.

What we collect

We may collect enquiry and quote details you submit, including your name, email, phone, country, date of birth, course and accommodation preferences.

When you enrol or study with us, we may also collect enrolment information, passport or ID details, visa status, emergency contacts, relevant medical information you choose to disclose, attendance and academic progress records, payment records, and correspondence including WhatsApp and email.

We may also collect website usage data through cookies and analytics, and photographs or video where you have not opted out.

Why we use it

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, provide quotes, enrol and teach students, arrange partner-provided accommodation, issue certificates, keep student records, meet legal obligations, keep students safe, and improve our website and marketing.

Our lawful bases

We use personal data where it is needed before or during a contract with you, where the law requires it, where we have a legitimate interest, where it protects vital interests, or where you have given consent.

Who we share it with

We may share personal data with accommodation partner providers to arrange your booking, your sponsor where a sponsor funds your course, UK authorities where the law requires it, and service providers such as website hosting, payment processing and email providers.

We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Where you communicate with us from outside the UK, or where a provider processes data overseas, we use safeguards recognised under UK data protection law.

How long we keep it

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the reason it was collected, for legal record-keeping, student administration, safeguarding, finance, and business records. Financial records are normally kept for six years under UK requirements. We delete or anonymise data when it is no longer needed.

Your rights

You may request access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

Contact info@theyorkshirecollege.com. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Cookies

Essential cookies make the site work. With your consent, analytics cookies such as Google Analytics 4 help us understand how the site is used. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies in the cookie banner.

Photography and filming

We sometimes photograph or film college life for our website and social media. Tell us in writing at any time if you do not want to appear, and we will not use, or will remove, identifiable images of you where possible.

Children

Our minimum student age is 16. Where students under 18 enrol, we apply our Safeguarding policy and communicate with parents or guardians where appropriate.

We will post updates here with a revised date.
