Privacy Notice
The Company, Love Language Learning Ltd, will make every effort to comply with the 1998 Data Protection Act and is committed to the protection and privacy of our users. The company and the LANACOS® service are fully registered. We have made a number of revisions to our Privacy Policy, which is henceforth called Privacy Notice, ahead of the May 25th GDPR implementation. Many of the key changes can be found in the Privacy Notice, where we seek to provide more clarity on the processing of Personal and Financial Data.
Contact details (usually your name, target language and email address) or, should you wish to do an internship application process, other details such as in your CV will be stored by us and used to provide you, the User, with the information you have requested. These details as well as recorded statistical details may be shared with our clients but not disclosed to third parties except if there is a real possibility of employment.
Your IP address may be used to assist with any technical problems with the server, and to administer our Website. It will also be used to gather general demographic information. Cookies will enable us to keep track of your searches and these will expire after 24 minutes of inactivity. Do not allow anyone to access your confidential information.
Love Language Learning Ltd takes your privacy seriously and we handle your information with care.
This Privacy Notice applies to the Love Language Learning Ltd Service, which consists of the www.lanacos.com and sub domain websites, together with other interactions with Love Language Learning Ltd and the LANACOS brand including support queries.
If you do not agree with the terms of this Notice (formerly termed Notice), do not access or use the LANACOS Service.
Information That Love Language Learning Ltd Collects and Receives
Love Language Learning Ltd may collect personal information as you use the Service. You are under no contractual obligation to provide any information. However, some information is collected automatically, and if some information is not provided we may not be able to provide the Service.
When you use the website, to display content relevant to your location, we ask your browser for a location, or lookup the approximate location of your Internet Protocol (IP) address using a service private to Love Language Learning Ltd . Your device asks for your consent before Love Language Learning Ltd first uses location, and you can withdraw that consent at any time via the device’s Settings app.
Log data
As with most Internet-delivered services our servers automatically collect information when you access the Love Language Learning Ltd Service, and record it in log files. The log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address; the addresses of both the page visited and the previous page; detail of the service used; browser or device type and settings; date and time the services were used; information about the browser or device configuration; language; and cookie data. This log information is retained for up to 8 weeks, after which it is destroyed.
Service Access
We record the dates on which you access the service, and the method and time of last access. This is anonymously aggregated for us to monitor and report on the usage of the service. Individual records of last access may be used when answering support queries, and may also be used to determine when to communicate with you.
Analytics
We record analytics both within Love Language Learning Ltd and using third party services, such as Google and Facebook Analytics, to enable us to understand how Love Language Learning Ltd is used, identify the origin of an app installation, and to improve the Service. Depending on your device or browser privacy settings, those analytics may collect your advertising identifier. The analytics may also record technical data about your device or browser. The analytics private to Love Language Learning Ltd may be used to trigger help and advice communications.
We may share anonymised network signal data with a partner, for the purpose of cell network improvement. You can tell the application not to send these analytics using the application’s menu, Settings, Privacy; or on older versions of the application under menu, Help and Feedback, Product Improvement

How We Use Information
We use your personal information to provide the Love Language Learning Ltd and the LANACOS Service to you.
We store your content, so you can access it on a language course and your teachers are informed and so you can choose to share it. Our information revolves around language learning and staying in quality accommodation so we will need to know if you have any allergies to food or pets. We allow you to make some content – like feedback from language courses abroad on the website – with your quotes public and to share it. Private allergy information is kept confidential and only given to individuals who need to know.
We may also use personal information as required by applicable law, legal process or regulation; or to answer your queries; or to investigate and help prevent security issues and abuse.
How Information is Shared
Service Providers
We may share your information with third parties who provide services to Love Language Learning Ltd. These service providers will only have access to the information necessary to provide limited functions on our behalf. They are required to keep your information secure. When you access some maps and services, the service provider will know the IP address, and other browser details or that these maps are being accessed from Love Language Learning Ltd , but nothing to match those with you personally.
Aggregated and Anonymised Information
We may aggregate and anonymise your data, to provide statistical data such as route and path usage. We may sell, license or share this information.
Other Circumstances
There may be circumstances where we are required by law to disclose personal information. We may disclose personal information if you give us your explicit consent. If we receive a report of content that may breach copyright, we will respect your privacy and will not pass personal data without prior permission.

Legal Basis and Our Legitimate Interests.
We will only collect and process your personal data where we have lawful bases.
Lawful bases include contract (for example to provide the Love Language Learning Ltd and LANACOS Service to you), consent (for example, where you joined a language course), and legitimate interests (including in operating and improving the LANACOS Service and business, and in keeping the Love Language Learning Ltd Services safe and secure).
