Education details: previous school, field of study, and year of graduation.
Supporting documents: passport photo, identity card, family card, diploma or certificate of graduation, and other documents as required.

Purpose of data use

Your personal data is used to:

Process and verify registration and Admissions selection.
Contact you regarding your registration status via WhatsApp or email.
Prepare academic administration records if you are accepted.
Fulfil reporting obligations in accordance with applicable regulations.

We do not use your data for marketing purposes outside of Admissions activities without separate consent.

Legal basis and consent

Data collection and processing are carried out based on your consent and in accordance with Law Number 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, with the understanding that this may affect the continuation of your registration process.

Access and confidentiality

Your data and documents can only be accessed by the Admissions committee and authorised staff, and every officer is obliged to maintain confidentiality. We do not sell or share your personal data with any other party, unless required by law.

Storage and retention

Documents and personal data are stored on a secure storage system with restricted access. Data is retained for the duration of the Admissions process and for a reasonable period for administrative purposes, then deleted or anonymised once it is no longer needed.
