We do not read, modify, or delete any other calendar events, and we do not share Google data with third parties.

5. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal data. Information is shared only when necessary to provide our services (for example, sharing lesson details between a student and their teacher).
6. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
7. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us.
8. Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure how the site is used, including which pages and articles are opened. Analytics cookies are off until you accept them in the consent banner. You can change that choice later with the Cookies link in the footer.
Rejecting analytics does not affect signing in, booking a lesson, or payments. Those use cookies that are required for the site to work.
