Privacy and Cookie Policy

Date of entry into force: 08 July 2025 (applies to all activities from this date onward)

Archived versions of this policy are available here.

This Privacy Policy applies to our BudwigCourse.com domain (called our Domain) and Teachable School (called our School), including all products, services or activities offered there.


We deeply respect your right to privacy. Like you, we don’t appreciate when data is collected without a clear purpose or used without consent. That’s why we take this issue seriously and want to be fully transparent about how we handle your personal information.

You may visit our School or Domain anonymously. You may also refuse to supply personal identification information when asked, but doing so may prevent you from engaging in certain Domain or School-related activities.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know about what data we collect, why we collect it, how we store it, and how we keep it safe. If anything is unclear, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to help.

With care,  

Alicja & Piotr

 4. How long do we keep your data, and how do we protect it?

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. In particular:

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include secure data transmission (e.g. SSL encryption), restricted access to personal data, password-protected systems, regular software updates, and cooperation only with trusted, GDPR-compliant service providers. We also ensure that only authorised personnel have access to your personal information.

You may request the deletion of your data at any time (see section 5).
