During purchase events, information related to the purchase, such as the chosen course package and the duration of the license, is stored so that we can deliver the User the service the User has bought. Information about country is required to set the correct currency and tax.

Optional information, such as age and gender, is also used to develop the service and optimise the exercises. Information about first language is used to set the default translation language.
The profile formed as a result of this optimisation consists of information collected from the User during registration and use of the service. This information is necessary for individual optimisation of the service.

Much of the other information specified in section 4 is required to use the different features of the service. For example, certificates are sent based on stored results, and rewards for recommendations are given based on stored information about recommendations. The settings selected by the user are stored in order to adjust the functioning of the service according to the User's wishes.

Research and development
The development of Online-school.yacht-travel.eu features and exercise algorithm is based on different tests and statistical analysis of User behaviour data stored in the database, as well as User learning results. The data used in research and development is not traceable to an individual User. According to the applicable data protection legal framework, the analysis is made statistically using a large mass of data (e.g. all Users learning English), where the information is stored anonymously and individual Users are no longer identifiable.

Customer service and informing Users
The User's contact information, payment information and exercise information is also required to answer customer support requests. These requests usually involve looking at the User's information and exercise data in online-school.yacht-travel.eu management panel and checking payment information in various payment service providers' management panels.
