We have undertaken a review on the way we handle data and the way in which we use it to provide our services and manage business operations. We hold personal data on all our tutors to meet legal obligations and to perform vital internal functions. This notice details the personal data we may retain, process and share with third parties relating to your tutoring contract and vital business operations.

GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation which replaces the Data Protection Regulation. The Regulation aims to harmonise data protection legislation across EU member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which commercial organisations can legally operate. Even though the UK has left the EU, the GDPR is applicable in the UK. Furthermore, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has confirmed that it will continue with a similar level of regulation.

This website is owned by m2r Ltd and the policy below lays out how GDPR applies to the way m2r Ltd handles your personal data. Our aim is to be responsible, relevant and secure when using your data. m2r Ltd is an international education services company and the purpose of this website is to provide recruitment, tutoring and training services to you, your school or company. Our expectation is that individuals giving consent share these aims and objectives. If this is not your expectation, please do not complete the contact us form.

Please take a moment to read through what information we collect, who we share it with and how they might use it.

We respect the privacy rights of individuals and are committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable law.
