Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 September 2026

Crystal Global Study (“CGS”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through our website, enquiry forms, counselling services, applications and other interactions, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We May Collect

Depending on the services you request, we may collect information such as:

  • your name, date of birth, nationality and contact details;
  • education history, academic results and qualifications;
  • English-language test results and study preferences;
  • employment history and professional information;
  • passport, visa and immigration-related information where relevant to your enquiry or application;
  • financial or sponsorship information where required for an education or visa-related process;
  • documents that you choose to provide to us;
  • communications with CGS, including emails, forms and counselling notes; and
  • technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, cookies and website usage data.

2. How We Collect Information

We may collect personal information directly from you when you complete a form, contact us, attend a counselling session, submit documents, request an assessment, apply for a course or otherwise communicate with CGS. We may also receive information from your authorised representative, education providers, service providers or other organisations involved in your application where this is appropriate and permitted.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries and provide education counselling;
  • assess possible study options based on information you provide;
  • assist with course, institution, scholarship or other education-related applications;
  • communicate with education providers and relevant service partners at your request;
  • support visa-related administrative processes where appropriate, while recognising that immigration advice may only be provided by suitably authorised professionals where required by law;
  • manage appointments, follow-up communications and client records;
  • improve our website, services and student experience;
  • send service updates or marketing communications where permitted; and
  • meet legal, regulatory, fraud-prevention, record-keeping and compliance requirements.

4. Sharing of Personal Information

Where necessary for the service you request, CGS may share relevant information with third parties such as universities, colleges, schools, English-language providers, pathway providers, scholarship bodies, authorised education partners, technology and administrative service providers, and government or regulatory bodies.

We do not sell your personal information. We only disclose information for legitimate service, operational, legal or compliance purposes, or where you have authorised us to do so.

5. International Transfers

CGS works with students, institutions and offices in more than one country. Your information may therefore be accessed, processed or stored outside the country where you originally provided it. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately and in accordance with relevant privacy requirements.

6. Cookies, Analytics and Website Data

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand visitor activity and improve performance. Third-party services used on the website may also place cookies or collect technical data in accordance with their own privacy policies. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings.

7. Marketing Communications

If you choose to receive updates from us, we may contact you about study opportunities, events, services or other relevant information. You may ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time. Service-related communications that are necessary for an active enquiry or application may still be sent.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. However, no website, email system or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records and meet applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Information may be securely deleted or de-identified when it is no longer required.

10. Access, Correction and Privacy Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or an update to personal information we hold about you. Depending on applicable law, you may also have additional rights concerning use, deletion, restriction or portability of your information.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a privacy request.

11. Children and Young People

Some education enquiries may relate to students under 18. Where appropriate, we may require the involvement or consent of a parent, guardian or authorised representative before collecting or using certain information.

12. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to universities, government websites, education providers and other third-party services. CGS is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites. Please review the privacy policies of those organisations when providing information directly to them.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, website practices or applicable requirements. The latest version will be published on this page with the updated date.

14. Contact Us

If you have a privacy question, wish to request access or correction, or want to raise a concern about how your information has been handled, please contact Crystal Global Study at info@crystalglobalstudy.com.

Where applicable, nothing in this policy limits any privacy or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
