Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how CTO Teachings ("CTO Teachings", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit our website, contact us, subscribe to our updates, or engage our services. It also describes the choices and rights you have over your information. By using this website or sharing your details with us, you agree to the practices described here.

Using our LangLearn app? This policy covers this website and our consulting business. The LangLearn language-learning app and language.ctoteachings.com are covered by a separate, app-specific policy: LangLearn App Privacy Policy.

Who We Are

CTO Teachings helps companies scale with senior AI engineers — through staff augmentation, end-to-end delivery, and permanent placement. For the purposes of applicable data-protection laws, CTO Teachings is the controller responsible for the personal information handled through this website. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us through our contact page.

Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. When you fill in a form, request a consultation, subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise contact us, we collect the details you choose to share — typically your name, company or organisation, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message. If you are exploring an engagement with us, this may also include information about your project, hiring needs, or technical requirements.

Information we collect automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you browse, such as your IP address, browser type and settings, device and operating system, referring pages, and how you interact with our pages. This is gathered through cookies and similar technologies (see below) and helps us keep the site secure, reliable, and easy to use.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use a small number of cookies and comparable technologies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site functioning and secure and cannot be switched off. Where used, analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic and improve the site. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • respond to your enquiries and provide the information or services you request;
  • scope, deliver, and manage engagements and communicate with you about them;
  • send you updates, insights, or newsletters where you have asked to receive them;
  • operate, secure, maintain, and improve our website and services;
  • meet our legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations.

Where data-protection law applies, we rely on one or more lawful bases for this processing: your consent (for example, newsletter sign-ups), our legitimate interests in running and growing our business, the performance of a contract with you, and compliance with legal obligations.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where necessary, with:

  • trusted service providers who help us operate — for example, form-processing, email, hosting, and analytics providers — who may process your information only on our instructions and for the purposes described here;
  • professional advisers such as lawyers or accountants where reasonably required;
  • authorities or other parties where we are legally obliged to do so, or to protect our rights, safety, and property or those of others;
  • a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or reorganisation of our business.

International Transfers

Our service providers may store or process information in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected in line with this policy and applicable law.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes set out above — for example, to answer your enquiry, maintain our client relationship, or meet legal and record-keeping requirements — after which we delete or anonymise it.

How We Protect Your Information

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information and to limit access to those who need it.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to request a copy of your data. You can unsubscribe from our updates at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us. To exercise any of these rights, please reach out through our contact page, and we will respond in line with applicable law.

Third-Party Links

Our website may link to third-party sites or services we do not control. This policy does not apply to those sites, and we encourage you to review their own privacy notices.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and professionals and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and any changes take effect once posted on this page.
