Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 September 2026

Review before publishing: This practical draft reflects the website's current forms and planned PayPal–Mailchimp connection. Moonlight Mandarin should review it whenever its tools or data practices change.

Who we are

Moonlight Mandarin provides online Chinese-language courses, memberships and learning resources. Questions about this policy or your personal information can be sent to moonlightmandarin@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may receive your name, email address, programme or product selected, payment status, subscription status, marketing preferences and messages you send to us. PayPal processes payment-card and account information; Moonlight Mandarin does not receive your full card details.

How we use it

Marketing emails

Marketing is optional. Purchase checkboxes are unticked by default, and you can buy without agreeing to marketing. If you opt in, PayPal supplies the email associated with your verified purchase so you do not need to enter it again. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every marketing email.

Services we use

We use service providers including Netlify for website hosting, PayPal for payment processing, Mailchimp for email communications and Calendly for lesson bookings. Each provider handles information under its own privacy terms and security arrangements.

How long we keep information

We retain information only as long as reasonably needed to provide services, meet legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes and respect marketing opt-outs. Mailchimp keeps suppression information so that people who unsubscribe are not emailed again accidentally.

Your choices and rights

You may ask to access, correct or delete personal information we hold, object to or restrict certain uses, or withdraw marketing consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal. Contact us at moonlightmandarin@gmail.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or systems change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
