How Lincoln Institute collects, uses, and protects your personal information. Last updated May 2026.

1. Who we are

Lincoln Institute ("we", "us", "our") operates this website and the D-Class digital campus. We are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. For privacy enquiries, contact us at admissions@lincolndiplo.com.

2. Information we collect

  • Account details you provide at signup (name, email, password).
  • Profile, application, and academic information you submit.
  • Course activity: enrolments, submissions, grades, certificates.
  • Messages exchanged with faculty, staff, and the AI assistant.
  • Technical data (IP address, device, browser, usage logs).

3. How we use your information

  • To deliver courses, assessments, certificates, and student services.
  • To authenticate you and secure your account.
  • To communicate about admissions, programmes, and important notices.
  • To improve our content, platform, and the AI assistant's accuracy.
  • To comply with legal, accreditation, and audit obligations.

4. Legal bases

We rely on contract performance (delivering your programme), legitimate interests (securing and improving the platform), consent (optional marketing and cookies), and legal obligations (record-keeping, accreditation).

5. Sharing your information

We share data only with trusted processors that support the Institute — authentication, hosting, email delivery, payment, and analytics providers — under written data-processing terms. We do not sell personal data. We may disclose information where required by law.

6. Data retention

Academic records, transcripts, and certificates are retained for the statutory period required for accredited institutions. Account and activity data are kept for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable archival period thereafter.

7. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, or restriction of your personal data, and you may withdraw consent at any time. Contact admissions@lincolndiplo.com to exercise these rights.

8. Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards including encryption in transit, role-based access controls, and row-level security on our databases. No system is perfectly secure; we will notify affected users of any material breach as required by law.

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management, and optional analytics cookies to understand usage. You can control cookies via your browser settings.

10. Children

Our programmes are intended for adult learners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
