As part of our ongoing effort to provide the best service to learners, teachers and language lovers, we have updated some of our policies. Effective from May 19, 2018, updated Terms of Use, Privacy Policies, and Cookies Policy will be in place on UsingEnglish.com.
To facilitate this we have added a new required field to our member profiles called ‘Privacy Policy Acceptance’. You will need to change the settings in your User Profile. The next time you log in, please go to your user settings and complete the missing fields in your profile. Please log in to your account today to review these policies and update your profile settings accordingly.
The purpose of these changes is to modernise our policies and procedures, which include bringing them in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). While most of the changes will only affect residents of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we encourage all learners to review the new policies and become familiar with them.
For your convenience, here is a brief summary of the changes to each policy. We encourage you to review each one in full.
In addition to the changes we made to our policies, we’ve updated our site for GDPR compliance.
After May 25th 2018, you will not receive updates from UsingEnglish.com on products, promotions, and other offerings if you do not opt-in to our communications. We strongly encourage you to log in to UsingEnglish.com and opt-in to communications before May 25th, 2018.
