Part II — Global Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Applies to: Tutors Parliament's India and international services, including home tuition where offered, online tutoring, assessments, mentoring, learning tools and related platform services.
This Privacy Policy explains how MEDHAVANTUM GROUP LLP, operating the Tutors Parliament brand ("Tutors Parliament", "TP", "Company", "we", "us" or "our"), collects, uses, stores, shares, transfers and protects personal data.
MEDHAVANTUM GROUP LLP is a limited liability partnership registered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, bearing LLPIN ADA-5890.
This Policy applies to www.tutorsparliament.com, its subdomains, applications, Student and Parent interfaces, Tutor and Mentor portals, assessment systems, online-learning functionality, administrative systems, communication channels and other services operated under the Tutors Parliament brand (collectively, the "Platform").
Tutors Parliament serves Users in India and may offer online tutoring and other digital educational services in additional countries. Privacy obligations and rights therefore depend on the User's location, the service being used and whether a particular law applies to the relevant processing.
This is Part II of the Tutors Parliament Global Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. See also our Terms & Conditions.
1. Global Scope and Privacy Framework
Tutors Parliament seeks to process personal data lawfully, fairly, transparently and proportionately.
Our privacy programme is designed with reference to applicable Indian privacy and technology law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act"), the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 ("DPDP Rules"), the Information Technology Act, 2000 and other applicable requirements, as their relevant provisions apply from time to time.
Because the DPDP Act and DPDP Rules have phased commencement dates, references in this Policy to rights or statutory requirements under that framework apply from the date on which the relevant provision becomes effective. Tutors Parliament may voluntarily provide comparable privacy controls before a statutory obligation formally becomes applicable.
Where Tutors Parliament offers services to individuals in other jurisdictions, privacy laws in those jurisdictions may also apply. Regional information is provided later in this Policy.

- Registered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
- General Contact: hello@tutorsparliament.com
- Privacy & Data Requests: privacy@tutorsparliament.com

Where a telephone or online support interaction is recorded, appropriate notice will be provided where required by law.
4.9. Online-Class Data
Where online tuition is provided, we may process technical data necessary to establish and maintain an online session.
Depending on the service this may include meeting identifiers, attendance information, session timestamps, camera or microphone permission status, connection information, session-quality information and other information needed to provide the class.
Camera or microphone access does not automatically mean the session is recorded.
If Tutors Parliament records a particular session, appropriate notice and consent or authorisation will be provided or obtained where required.
4.10. Assessment Data
When a User takes an assessment, we may process:
- assessment selected;
- attempt identifier;

4.11. Proctoring and Integrity Data
Some assessments may use additional integrity controls.
Where enabled for the relevant assessment, information may include:

- browser-visibility events;
- focus-loss events;
- restricted-input events;
- clipboard-related events;
- second-session or second-tab signals;
- device-health information;
- permission status;
- camera or microphone information;
- screen-sharing information; or
- session recordings.
Not every assessment uses these features. The relevant controls should be disclosed before the proctored assessment begins.
If Tutors Parliament introduces biometric identification, facial recognition or another materially different biometric processing function, a separate notice, lawful basis and consent or authorisation mechanism will be provided where required before that function is used.
5. How We Receive Personal Data
We may receive personal data:
- directly from the User;
- from a Parent or Guardian acting for a Student;
- from a Tutor, Mentor or institute;
- automatically through Platform use;
- from payment providers;
- from identity or verification providers;
- from authentication providers selected by the User;
- from customer-support interactions;
- from authorised business or institutional partners; or
- from publicly available sources where use of that information is lawful and appropriate.
Where applicable law requires notice when information is obtained indirectly rather than directly from the individual, Tutors Parliament will provide that notice within the required period or rely on an applicable legal exception.
6. Why We Process Personal Data
We process personal data for purposes connected with operating and providing Tutors Parliament services.
6.1. Tutor Discovery and Matching
To understand a Student's requirements and identify potentially suitable Tutors.
6.2. Educational Services
To provide or facilitate tuition, learning tools, assessments, reports, mentoring, academic support and other requested educational services.
6.3. Accounts and Authentication
To create accounts, authenticate Users, manage roles and permissions and maintain account security.
6.4. Tutor Verification
To evaluate identity, qualifications, eligibility, verification status and other Tutor onboarding or re-verification requirements.
6.5. Assessments
To present assessments, save responses, calculate scores, produce reports, identify learning gaps and maintain assessment history.
6.6. Assessment Integrity
To identify possible violations of assessment rules where integrity or proctoring controls apply.
6.7. Payments
To process payments, payouts, refunds, invoices, credits, tax records and transaction reconciliation.
6.8. Safety and Safeguarding
To investigate safety concerns, fraud, harassment, suspicious conduct, child-safeguarding issues and other serious Platform misuse.
6.9. Customer Support
To answer questions, provide technical support, manage complaints and resolve service issues.
6.10. Service Communications
To send OTPs, security alerts, booking notifications, Tutor-match information, class updates, assessment messages, payment information, support messages and other operational communications.
6.11. Marketing
To send optional promotional communications or measure permitted marketing activity where the consent or other lawful basis required in the relevant jurisdiction has been established.
6.12. Analytics and Platform Improvement
To understand Platform performance, troubleshoot errors, improve usability, prevent abuse and develop services.
Where practicable, aggregated or de-identified information may be used instead of directly identifiable information.
6.13. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
To comply with applicable tax, accounting, regulatory, law-enforcement, court, consumer, cybersecurity and other legal requirements.
7. Legal Bases for Processing
The legal basis for processing depends on the User's jurisdiction, the purpose of processing and the applicable law.
Where recognised by applicable law, Tutors Parliament may rely on one or more of the following:
- consent;
- performance of a contract or steps requested before entering a contract;
- compliance with a legal obligation;
- protection of vital interests or safety;
- legitimate interests, where those interests are not overridden by the individual's rights and the law permits reliance on that basis;
- lawful uses or other statutory bases recognised under applicable Indian law; or
- another lawful basis specifically permitted by the relevant jurisdiction.
Where processing is based on consent, the User may withdraw consent through the available mechanism. Withdrawal does not make processing that was lawful before withdrawal retrospectively unlawful.
A requested service may no longer function if data necessary to provide that service can no longer be processed.
Optional marketing consent is intended to be distinguishable from processing necessary to provide a requested educational or account service where required by law.
8. Children's Personal Data and Age-Appropriate Protection
Tutors Parliament provides educational services that may be used by children and treats safeguarding of Users under 18 as a priority regardless of differences between local statutory age thresholds.
The age at which a person may independently consent to data processing or online services varies by jurisdiction. Tutors Parliament may therefore apply age, consent and Parent/Guardian controls according to the User's location, age, service and applicable law.
Where verifiable or otherwise legally valid Parent/Guardian consent or authorisation is required, Tutors Parliament will seek that authorisation before the relevant processing occurs.
Depending on the service, children's information may include account information, class or grade, curriculum or board, subjects, learning requirements, Tutor preferences, assessment answers, scores, progress information, attendance, learning activity, communications and information reasonably required to provide and safeguard the service.
As a Platform policy:
- Tutors Parliament does not sell children's personal data for monetary consideration;
- Tutors Parliament does not knowingly use children's personal data for targeted advertising directed at the child;
- Tutors Parliament does not intentionally conduct advertising-oriented behavioural profiling of children; and
- Tutors Parliament seeks to limit children's information to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant educational, safety, security or operational purpose.
Operational processing used for authentication, service delivery, assessment functionality, fraud prevention, cybersecurity, child safety or assessment integrity is not undertaken for targeted-advertising purposes.
9. Parent and Guardian Controls
Parents and Guardians may contact Tutors Parliament regarding personal data processed in connection with their child's account, subject to applicable law and reasonable identity or authority verification.
Available requests may include access, correction, updating, deletion or withdrawal of consent where the applicable law provides those rights.
Certain information may need to be retained because of safeguarding, legal, fraud-prevention, payment, dispute, cybersecurity or regulatory requirements.
Tutors Parliament may provide age-appropriate information directly to a child while also providing Parent/Guardian controls where required by law or appropriate for the service.
10. Tutor Verification Information
Tutor verification information is used to determine and maintain the verification status applicable to a Tutor.
A public verification badge should reveal only the verification status or other information appropriate for public display.
Government ID documents, complete bank details, confidential background information and private verification documents should not become publicly visible merely because a Tutor has a public profile.
Tutors Parliament may retain verification outcomes separately from copies of underlying identity documents where appropriate.
11. Public Tutor Profiles
Certain Tutor information may be displayed publicly or to prospective Students and Parents.
Depending on Platform settings, this may include Tutor name, photograph, subjects, qualifications, experience, languages, general teaching location, teaching mode, approximate pricing, ratings, reviews and verification status.
A public Tutor profile may be accessible to search engines. After removal of a public profile, search-engine caches or indexes outside Tutors Parliament's direct control may take additional time to update.
Tutors should not place government identification numbers, complete banking information, precise private residential addresses or other unnecessary sensitive information in public profile fields.
12. Matching and Sharing Between Parents, Students and Tutors
Tutor matching requires limited information sharing.
Before a confirmed interaction, Tutors may receive relevant information such as class, subject, curriculum or board, general location, teaching mode, timing preference and learning requirement.
Once a Parent/Student accepts a Tutor introduction, demo or engagement, appropriate contact information may be shared where required to provide the service.
Similarly, Parents/Students may receive relevant Tutor profile and contact information.
We seek to limit this sharing to information reasonably necessary for the matching, safeguarding, scheduling or tutoring purpose.
13. Online Classes and Recordings
Online-session technology may require access to a User's camera or microphone. Permission will ordinarily be controlled by the device, browser or application.
Tutors Parliament does not treat every online tuition session as recorded.
If a session is recorded by Tutors Parliament, Users should receive appropriate notice regarding the recording where required.
Recordings, where made, may be used for the disclosed purpose, such as safety, quality review, training, dispute handling or service delivery.
Access should be limited to authorised persons. Recordings will be retained only for an appropriate period based on the purpose, legal obligations and the applicable retention schedule.
14. Assessments and Proctoring
Assessment data is processed to administer tests, calculate results, generate reports and maintain educational progress information.
Where a proctored or integrity-controlled assessment is used, additional technical or audiovisual information may be processed.
The specific proctoring controls applicable to an assessment should be disclosed before the User begins the relevant attempt.
Where required, appropriate Parent/Guardian authorisation will be obtained for a minor.
Integrity systems may generate alerts or flags. A flag does not necessarily prove misconduct and may be reviewed together with other relevant information.
15. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing
Tutors Parliament may use AI-assisted or automated systems for Tutor matching, ranking or recommendations, learning analytics, content assistance, assessment support, support routing, fraud detection, security and integrity alerts.
Such systems may process information provided by the User together with relevant Platform information.
AI-generated recommendations may be imperfect. Tutor recommendations do not replace a Parent/Student's own selection decision.
Where applicable law provides a right to human involvement, explanation, review or objection in relation to a material automated decision, Tutors Parliament will provide the mechanism required by that law.
16. Service Providers and Processors
Tutors Parliament may engage third-party providers for services such as cloud hosting, databases, storage, authentication, email, SMS, messaging, payment processing, video conferencing, analytics, customer support, cybersecurity, error monitoring, identity verification and other Platform infrastructure.
Service providers should receive only the information reasonably necessary for their function and should be subject to appropriate contractual, technical or organisational safeguards where required.
The specific provider list may change as Platform infrastructure changes. A current list of material providers or categories may be maintained through the Cookie Policy, Platform disclosures or another service-provider notice where appropriate.
Tutors Parliament does not represent that an old provider remains in use merely because that provider appeared in a previous policy or historical code.
18. Marketing Communications and Advertising
Where required, optional marketing communications are sent only after the appropriate consent or other lawful basis has been established.
Users may unsubscribe through available mechanisms.
Tutors Parliament may continue sending communications required for authentication, active bookings, classes, assessments, payments, safety, security, legal notices or customer support.
Tutors Parliament does not sell personal data for monetary consideration.
Some privacy laws use broader definitions of "sale" or "sharing", particularly in relation to advertising technologies. If Tutors Parliament's use of an advertising or analytics technology constitutes a regulated "sale", "sharing" or targeted-advertising disclosure under a law that applies to us, eligible Users will be provided the opt-out or other control required by that law.
Tutors Parliament does not knowingly sell or share personal data of children for cross-context behavioural advertising where prohibited by applicable law.
20. Legal, Safety and Regulatory Disclosures
Information may be preserved or disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal process, comply with a court order, respond to a lawful government or regulatory request, investigate fraud, address cybersecurity incidents, protect a child or other person from serious harm, investigate harassment or misconduct, enforce Platform terms, or establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
Where information indicates suspected abuse or exploitation of a child, Tutors Parliament may make disclosures to competent authorities as required or permitted by applicable law.
21. Business Transfers
If MEDHAVANTUM GROUP LLP undergoes a lawful merger, restructuring, investment, acquisition, sale, financing or transfer of business, relevant personal data may be disclosed to advisers, prospective transaction parties or a successor organisation where reasonably necessary and subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.
22. International Data Processing and Transfers
Tutors Parliament is based in India and may use service providers, Tutors or infrastructure located in other countries. Personal data may therefore be processed in a country different from the User's country of residence.
Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, Tutors Parliament will seek to use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism, contractual safeguard, adequacy mechanism, comparable-protection arrangement, consent mechanism or other legally recognised basis.
The mechanism used may differ according to the originating jurisdiction, receiving jurisdiction and service provider involved.
Where relevant, additional information about transfer safeguards may be made available through the Privacy & Data Request process.
Tutors Parliament will comply with applicable restrictions on international transfers as they apply from time to time.
23. Data Retention
Tutors Parliament does not retain every category of information for the same period.
Retention is determined according to:
- the purpose for which information was collected;
- whether an account or tutoring relationship remains active;
- child-safeguarding requirements;
- Tutor-verification and audit requirements;
- contractual obligations;
- payment, accounting and tax requirements;
- fraud prevention;
- dispute-resolution needs;
- legal claims;
- cybersecurity requirements; and
- applicable law.
Account information may be retained while an account is active and for an appropriate period after closure.
Financial and transaction records may be retained for the period required by applicable tax, accounting and financial laws.
Assessment data may be retained while needed to provide progress history, reports or other requested educational functionality.
Proctoring information should be retained only for an appropriate period required for assessment review, appeals, disputes, integrity investigation or legal obligations.
Safeguarding complaint, investigation and Tutor-verification audit records may require substantially longer retention where needed for child protection, repeat-misconduct prevention, evidence, legal claims or compliance.
Where appropriate, Tutors Parliament may delete copies of underlying identity documents while retaining a limited verification outcome or audit record.
When personal data is no longer reasonably required, it may be deleted, anonymised or securely disposed of, subject to legitimate backup and record-retention requirements.
24. Account Closure and Data Deletion
A User may request deletion of eligible personal information through the Privacy & Data Request process or privacy contact.
Account deletion does not necessarily require immediate deletion of every record.
Information may be retained where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, safeguarding, ongoing investigations, fraud prevention, financial or tax records, unresolved disputes, enforcement of agreements, security, or establishment or defence of legal claims.
Backups may be deleted through the ordinary backup lifecycle rather than immediately when information is removed from an active system.
Tutors Parliament will not promise a fixed deletion period for a category of information unless that period is operationally implemented and legally appropriate.
25. Information Security
Tutors Parliament uses administrative, organisational and technical measures intended to protect personal data.
Depending on the system and risk involved, measures may include:
- role-based access;
- least-privilege access;
- authentication controls;
- multi-factor authentication for appropriate privileged access;
- encryption in transit;
- encryption at rest where appropriate;
- logging and monitoring;
- secrets management;
- secure software-development practices;
- backup and recovery controls;
- vulnerability management;
- access revocation;
- vendor-security controls;
- staff awareness measures; and
- incident-response procedures.
No internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security.
Tutors Parliament will not claim a particular security certification, encryption algorithm, penetration-testing frequency or absolute security guarantee unless the production environment can substantiate that claim.
Users should protect their passwords, OTPs and devices.
26. Personal-Data and Cybersecurity Incidents
Tutors Parliament maintains processes intended to investigate, contain and remediate security incidents.
Where a personal-data breach or cybersecurity incident triggers a notification requirement under law in force at the relevant time, Tutors Parliament will make the required notifications to affected persons or competent authorities within the applicable statutory period.
Tutors Parliament may also provide additional notice where appropriate for User safety.
Incidents involving children's data or safeguarding information should receive heightened priority.
27. Privacy Rights
Privacy rights depend on the law that applies to the User and the relevant processing activity.
Subject to applicable law, eligible Users may have rights to:
- receive information about processing;
- access or obtain a copy of personal data;
- correct or update inaccurate personal data;
- delete or erase eligible personal data;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- obtain data in a portable format;
- opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale or sharing practices;
- request review of certain automated decisions;
- complain to Tutors Parliament or a competent regulator; and
- exercise other rights provided by applicable law.
These rights are subject to statutory conditions, exemptions and applicability thresholds. Not every right applies in every country or to every processing activity.
Tutors Parliament will not discriminate unlawfully against an eligible User merely for exercising a privacy right.
28. How to Exercise Privacy Rights
Privacy and data requests may be submitted through the Tutors Parliament Privacy & Data Request process page or by contacting: privacy@tutorsparliament.com
Tutors Parliament may request reasonable information to verify the identity and authority of the person making the request.
A person acting for a child or another individual may be required to demonstrate Parent/Guardian status or other lawful authority.
Requests will be handled within the period required by the law applicable to that request.
Where applicable law permits an authorised agent to submit a request, Tutors Parliament may require appropriate proof of authorisation and identity verification.
29. Regional Privacy Addendum — India
For Users in India, Tutors Parliament's privacy programme is designed with reference to the DPDP Act, DPDP Rules, Information Technology Act, 2000 and other applicable Indian requirements.
The DPDP framework has phased commencement dates. Statutory rights and obligations apply from the date on which the relevant provisions become effective.
As applicable under the DPDP framework, rights may include access to information about personal-data processing, correction, completion and updating, erasure, grievance redressal, withdrawal of consent and nomination.
Tutors Parliament may voluntarily provide comparable controls before they become legally mandatory.
Where a child is covered by applicable Indian child-data provisions, Tutors Parliament will apply the Parent/Guardian consent and child-protection measures required by the law then in force.
30. Regional Privacy Addendum — European Economic Area and Ireland
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR") applies because Tutors Parliament offers relevant services to individuals in the European Economic Area or otherwise falls within its territorial scope, eligible individuals may have rights including:

Tutors Parliament may rely on lawful bases including contract, consent, legal obligation, legitimate interests or other bases permitted by the EU GDPR.
For children, the age at which a child may independently consent to an information-society service can vary under Member State law. Tutors Parliament will apply the age and parental-authorisation requirements relevant to the User's country, including Ireland where applicable.
Where personal data is transferred from the EEA to a country without an applicable adequacy decision, Tutors Parliament will use an appropriate transfer mechanism where required, such as standard contractual clauses or another legally recognised safeguard.
Eligible Users may complain to the data-protection authority in their country of residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement where the EU GDPR provides that right.
Where appointment of an EU representative is required, current representative details will be published on the Platform or in a regional notice.

Eligible Users may have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Where appointment of a UK representative is required, current representative details will be published on the Platform or in a regional notice.
32. Regional Privacy Addendum — United States
United States privacy rights vary by federal and state law.
Where the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and Rule ("COPPA") apply to an online service directed to children under 13, or where Tutors Parliament has actual knowledge that it is collecting covered personal information online from a child under 13, Tutors Parliament will seek verifiable parental consent before the relevant collection, use or disclosure unless a lawful exception applies.
Tutors Parliament will provide parents with the notices, review and deletion controls required by COPPA where that law applies.
Where a U.S. state privacy law applies to Tutors Parliament, eligible residents may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, opt-out of certain targeted advertising, sale or sharing, limitation of certain sensitive-data uses, appeal and non-discrimination.
For California residents, where the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended ("CCPA") applies to Tutors Parliament, eligible consumers may have rights to know/access, delete, correct, opt out of regulated sale or sharing, limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, and receive non-discriminatory treatment for exercising rights.
Tutors Parliament does not sell personal data for monetary consideration. If an advertising or analytics activity constitutes "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA or another applicable state law, Tutors Parliament will provide the legally required opt-out mechanism, including recognition of browser-based preference signals where required.
33. Regional Privacy Addendum — Canada
Where Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") or a substantially similar provincial private-sector privacy law applies, Tutors Parliament will seek to process personal information in accordance with the applicable consent, accountability, purpose, safeguard, access and correction requirements.
Eligible individuals may have rights to access personal information held about them and challenge its accuracy or completeness, subject to applicable exceptions.
Tutors Parliament may process information outside Canada. Where Canadian privacy law applies, Tutors Parliament remains responsible for personal information under its control and will use contractual or other safeguards appropriate to the circumstances.
Eligible individuals may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the relevant provincial authority where applicable.
34. Regional Privacy Addendum — Australia
Where the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles ("APPs") apply to Tutors Parliament, eligible individuals may have rights to access and correct personal information and to complain about how their information is handled.
Tutors Parliament will seek to provide collection notices and an accessible privacy policy as required by the APPs.
Where Tutors Parliament discloses personal information to an overseas recipient and APP 8 applies, Tutors Parliament will take the steps required by law in relation to that disclosure, subject to applicable exceptions.
If practicable and legally required, additional information about likely overseas recipient locations will be made available through Platform privacy disclosures or the Privacy & Data Request process.
35. Regional Privacy Addendum — New Zealand
Where the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 applies, Tutors Parliament will seek to comply with the applicable Information Privacy Principles concerning collection, notice, security, access, correction, use, disclosure, retention and overseas disclosure.
Eligible individuals may request access to and correction of personal information, subject to statutory exceptions.
Where Tutors Parliament obtains personal information about a New Zealand individual indirectly and the applicable indirect-collection notification requirement applies, Tutors Parliament will provide the required notice unless a statutory exception is available.
International disclosures will be handled in accordance with applicable New Zealand overseas-disclosure requirements.
Eligible individuals may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand.
36. Regional Privacy Addendum — Singapore
Where Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 ("PDPA") applies, Tutors Parliament will seek to comply with applicable consent, notification, purpose limitation, accuracy, protection, retention, transfer, access, correction, breach-notification and accountability obligations.
Eligible individuals may request access to or correction of personal data and may withdraw consent where the PDPA provides that right, subject to applicable exceptions.
For services involving children, Tutors Parliament will apply age-appropriate safeguards. Where parental or guardian consent is required for a child under applicable Singapore requirements or guidance, Tutors Parliament will obtain that consent before the relevant processing.
Where personal data is transferred outside Singapore, Tutors Parliament will use measures required to ensure a standard of protection comparable to the PDPA where the transfer-limitation obligation applies.
37. Regional Privacy Addendum — Malaysia
Where Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010, as amended, and related regulations or guidelines apply, Tutors Parliament will seek to comply with applicable principles concerning notice and choice, disclosure, security, retention, data integrity, access and correction.
Eligible individuals may have rights to access and correct personal data and to withdraw consent or object to certain direct marketing in accordance with applicable law.
Cross-border transfers of personal data will be handled in accordance with the transfer requirements and safeguards that apply at the relevant time.
38. Regional Privacy Addendum — United Arab Emirates
Where the UAE Federal Personal Data Protection Law and its implementing requirements apply, Tutors Parliament will seek to comply with applicable requirements concerning lawful processing, transparency, security, data-subject rights and international transfers.
Eligible individuals may have rights to obtain information about processing, request correction, request restriction or cessation of certain processing, and exercise other rights provided by applicable UAE law.
Where data is transferred across borders, Tutors Parliament will apply the transfer conditions required by applicable UAE law.
39. Regional Privacy Addendum — Saudi Arabia
Where the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law and its implementing regulations apply to Tutors Parliament's processing of personal data relating to individuals in the Kingdom, Tutors Parliament will seek to comply with applicable requirements concerning transparency, purpose limitation, minimisation, retention, security and international transfers.
Eligible individuals may have rights to be informed, access personal data, obtain a copy where applicable, correct or update personal data, request destruction where the law provides that right, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
International transfers will be handled in accordance with applicable Saudi transfer requirements.
40. Regional Privacy Addendum — Oman
