At Omega Academy, protecting your personal information matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. It applies to all personal information you share with us directly, or that we receive from others while working with you. When we say “Omega Academy”, “we”, or “us”, we mean O Academy (Pty) Ltd, our legal entity, which trades as Omega Academy, and any of its affiliates that may process your personal information. Each operates as its own legal entity. We use the term “personal information” to describe any data that identifies you or can be linked to you. When we refer to “processing”, we mean collecting, storing, using, or sharing that data in any way.
We handle personal data for different reasons depending on our work, but we are always transparent about why and how we do it.

For in-person classes or hybrid events, we use third-party venue suppliers. Students attending in person must comply with all safety and conduct guidelines provided by the venue or supplier.
