TEC provides educational programs and technology learning services to schools, institutions, educators, students, and other learners. Some TEC programs may therefore involve children or students under the age of 18.
Where a TEC program is provided through a school, educational institution, organization, parent, or guardian, information about a learner may be provided or managed through that relationship.
TEC aims to limit information collected about children and students to what is reasonably necessary to:
- Create or administer learning access
- Deliver the relevant educational program
- Track learning progress where required
- Provide instructional or technical support
- Maintain appropriate educational records
- Issue certificates where applicable
Schools, institutions, parents, or guardians are responsible for providing any authorization or consent required for a child's participation or use of TEC services, depending on the circumstances and applicable law.
TEC does not intentionally request unnecessary personal or sensitive information from children.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child's personal information has been submitted to TEC without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review the matter.
TEC may provide programs under agreements with schools, universities, NGOs, companies, or other organizations.
In these situations, an organization may provide TEC with limited information necessary to enroll learners, administer a training program, provide access to educational resources, manage attendance or progress, or deliver other agreed services.
The responsibilities of TEC and the participating organization regarding personal information may also be defined in the relevant agreement between the parties.
Where payment is required for a TEC service, course, subscription, or program, payment may be handled directly by TEC or through an authorized third-party payment service, depending on the payment method available for that particular service.
Where an external payment provider is used, that provider may collect and process payment information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
TEC does not claim to store complete payment-card information when such information is handled directly by an external payment provider.
TEC's website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies may be necessary for functions such as:

- Website security
- Remembering preferences
- Operating learning-platform features
Where analytics, embedded content, or other non-essential technologies are enabled, additional cookies or similar technologies may also be used to understand website usage and improve our services.
Where required, users will be provided with appropriate options regarding non-essential cookies.
You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website or learning-platform functionality.

Some technology providers used to operate TEC's website or services may operate infrastructure or process information outside Lebanon.
Where personal information is processed through international service providers, TEC will seek to use appropriate providers and reasonable safeguards in accordance with applicable requirements.
TEC retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate educational, administrative, contractual, accounting, security, or legal requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.
For example, certain account, enrollment, certificate, transaction, or institutional records may need to be retained after a course or program has ended.
When information is no longer reasonably required, TEC may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it as appropriate.
TEC takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:
- Unauthorized access
- Unauthorized disclosure
- Loss
- Alteration
- Misuse
- Destruction
However, no website, online platform, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are also responsible for keeping their account credentials confidential and should not share their passwords with unauthorized persons.
If you believe that your TEC account has been compromised, please contact us promptly.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may request to:
- Access personal information TEC holds about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Update your account information
- Request deletion of certain personal information
- Object to certain uses of your information

TEC is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of external services before providing personal information to them.
TEC processes personal information in accordance with applicable requirements, including relevant Lebanese laws governing electronic transactions and personal data, and other privacy requirements that may apply depending on the service, user, or jurisdiction.
Where additional privacy requirements apply to a particular institutional partnership or international service, TEC may address those requirements through appropriate agreements, notices, or procedures.
TEC may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect:
- Changes to our website
- New services or technologies
- Changes to the learning platform
