4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR Compliance)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data depends on the data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it:
- Performance of a Contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing necessary to fulfill our contract with you, providing access to course content, subtitles, code repositories, and student support.
- Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): Processing necessary for operating and improving the course, preventing abuse or fraud, and communicating relevant updates.
- Legal Obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): Processing required to comply with statutory accounting and tax regulations under Finnish law.
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): Where applicable, for optional marketing communications (which you may withdraw at any time).
5. How We Use Collected Information
We use Students' personal information for the following purposes:
- To provide and manage course access: Fulfilling orders, granting access to video lessons and downloadable materials.
- To improve customer service: Responding to support inquiries, bug reports, and questions efficiently via support@ue-pro.com.

- To send periodic emails: Sending transactional notices, order confirmations, course updates, and essential administrative announcements.
6. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not sell, trade, or rent Student personal identification information to third parties. We share data only with service providers essential for operating the School:
- Teachable, Inc. (Learning management system host and payment infrastructure).
- Kinescope (Kinescope Services / app.kinescope.io - Third-party video hosting and streaming platform used for delivering course video lessons, player performance analytics, and content protection).

We do not control and are not responsible for the data processing practices of these third-party platforms.
7. International Data Transfers
Because platform and service providers such as Teachable, Kinescope, Vercel, Atlassian (Bitbucket), itch.io, and Google LLC are located in or utilize infrastructure outside the EEA, personal data collected from Students in the EEA may be transferred to and processed internationally. Such transfers are conducted pursuant to appropriate legal safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), and Teachable’s Data Processing Agreement.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements under Finnish law. When account data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
