GEA IHRD LLC
Google registration and sign-in
We store your Google account identifier, name, email, selected language, registration consent version and time, and last sign-in time to manage your account and connect enquiries. We do not store the password, access tokens or refresh tokens used for Google sign-in. New accounts are members; partner and internal staff access requires separate administrator approval. Without registration consent, member features are unavailable, but public university information remains accessible.
Optional information and updates
Nationality, preferred programme and intake are optional and are not required to register. Admissions and scholarship updates require a separate opt-in, unchecked by default. You can edit optional information and withdraw this opt-in in your account.
Enquiry submission
We collect your name, email and message to receive and answer your enquiry. Depending on the consultation path you choose, we also store nationality and residence, education and school country, curriculum and study history, graduation status and year, credentials and awarding body, applicant and parental nationality, preferred programme and intake, budget, language results, selected universities, questions and preferences. An enquiry is submitted only when you choose the submit button. Without consent to collection, online submission is unavailable.
The privacy notice on the enquiry form states a retention period of one year.
Study preparation and draft saving
After Google sign-in, education, graduation dates, study gaps and activities, study purpose, institution preferences, career interests and study preferences are saved in your account for reuse. Resetting the roadmap clears saved preparation answers but does not delete previously submitted enquiries. Changes to your name, email and enquiry message are separate from this automatic account saving; they are received by the server when you submit the enquiry.
An in-progress study draft is also stored temporarily in the same browser’s session storage. It may include the name, email and enquiry message you are entering. Drafts older than 12 hours are not reused; signing out or submitting the enquiry clears the draft. Consent checkboxes are not saved in the draft.
免费课程学习记录
当您退出时，进度和可选的个人答案将保留在此浏览器中。模块测验评分仅将问题选择发送到服务器；匿名选择和评分结果不会存储或记录在服务器上。
如果您允许将学习进度和答案保存到您的用户帐户，我们将存储以下数据：您的帐户标识符、视频进度、测验选择和分数、您的可选目标、预算和学习计划以及您同意的版本和日期。这些记录可让您继续在另一台设备上学习并查看您的答案。
您的课程进度和答案的记录将被保留，直到您删除它们或关闭您的帐户。如果您两年不学习，这些记录将自动删除。
为核验真伪，证书编号、随机验证代码、签发日期和遮盖后的姓名与学习记录分开保存。提出删除请求会使证书失效。完整姓名仅用于生成预览和PDF，不保存在证书记录中。
购买证书时，我们将付款同意、预览确认、付款和首次下载PDF的凭证保留至付款后5年。删除这些凭证后，仍保留有效的下载权益和证书验证所需的最少信息。购买凭证与匿名测量数据分开管理；匿名测量的原始记录在13个月后删除。 未付款订单及其预览和同意记录将在最后一次变更后30天，或删除账户或学习记录时删除。预览确认有效期为24小时；未关联订单的预览记录也适用相同的30天删除规则。
将您的学习进度和答案保存到您的用户帐户是可选的。即使您没有授予许可，您也可以在此浏览器中观看课程、参加测验并输入答案。只有年满 14 岁的学习者才能将学习进度和答案保存到其用户帐户中。
在咨询表中单独同意的情况下，您选择的课程答案将在提交时作为快照发送给您的顾问。该副本遵循咨询记录保留政策，不会覆盖您现有的学生准备工作。向海外分支机构发送的咨询需要在确定接收国家和共享信息后单独获得同意。
匿名基础测量记录视频、活动和推荐使用的类型和模块，无需单独同意。它仅使用随机会话标识符，该标识符在选项卡关闭时消失。即使您已登录，记录也永远不会链接到帐户、订单或查询。它不存储 cookie、持久标识符、IP 地址、原始用户代理字符串或答案文本。在课程页面上关闭测量以停止将来的记录；该浏览器中仅存储拒绝偏好。 14 岁以下的学习者只能使用此基本测量。 系统也会统计证书预览、发起付款、付款确认和PDF下载，不发送姓名、订单标识或金额。
关联账户的测量仅在已登录且年满14岁的学习者另行同意后进行。撤回同意将删除关联的测量记录。两种测量的原始记录均在13个月后删除，仅保留无标识的月度汇总。一般咨询和服务购买通过现有咨询及订单中的课程来源字段统计，不另发事件。证书流程按相同测量设置单独统计预览、发起付款、付款确认和下载，不发送姓名、订单标识或金额。课程测量不使用外部分析工具。
您可以在课程页面的学习记录部分删除课程进度、答案和测验记录。如需关闭帐户或请求删除/撤销证书，请联系 lcj3117@gea.sc.kr。删除课程记录与现有学生申请和咨询记录是分开的。
Service applications and payment information
We store nationality, current residence, consultation results, the recommended service and progress to handle a direct service request or connect your enquiry with your account. When checkout starts, we store the product, amount, currency, report credit, consent version and time, order and payment identifiers, and payment status. GEA does not collect or store card numbers or PayPal passwords. When payment is enabled, PayPal receives the order identifier, product, amount and merchant account; we receive payment and refund results.
Connecting a guest enquiry uses a single-use receipt cookie valid for 24 hours together with a Google account verified under the same email. The cookie contains no name or email. Service information is available to the account owner and authorized staff and is not automatically shared with partners.
For service preparation, we store checklist items, confirmation replies, submitted files, staff correction requests and delivered results. Files are not published through public paths and can be accessed only by their account owner and authorized GEA internal staff.
Existing service privacy notice →Access, correction and deletion requests
Contact lcj3117@gea.sc.kr to request access, correction, withdrawal of consent or account closure and deletion. Optional information and communications consent can be changed in your account. Google authentication is also subject to Google’s privacy policy.
My account →Cookies and usage measurement
Necessary cookies maintain login sessions and one-time Google authentication state. University comparison selections are stored on your device. These necessary features remain available when you refuse analytics and advertising. You can delete or block cookies and site data through your browser settings; blocking login cookies may restrict member features.
Optional analytics and advertising
Analytics and advertising are optional and off until you choose to allow them. You can refuse both, choose them separately, or change your choice in Cookie settings. Refusing does not prevent university browsing, consultation requests or service applications. Your choice is stored on this device for 180 days.
With analytics consent, Google Analytics measures public-page visits, university and service choices, consultation submissions and application or payment steps. Events may contain a page path, language, service, amount, currency and order identifier. We do not put your name, email, phone number, consultation answers or free-text messages into analytics events. The Google tag receives technical connection and browser information. The site configures its Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to expire after 30 days without extending the period on each visit.
With analytics consent, we store your first visit’s campaign values (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term and utm_content), first-visit time and expiry time in this device’s local storage for 30 days. Google and Meta ad-click identifiers (gclid and fbclid) are included only with advertising consent as well. On a consultation submission, permitted campaign information is recorded with the enquiry so GEA can understand how people find its consultation services. A full page URL, name or telephone number is not stored in this attribution record. The 30-day limit applies to the device copy; submitted enquiry records follow the enquiry retention period.
With advertising consent, and where configured, Meta receives consultation-success and WhatsApp-click events to measure advertising. GEA does not use Google advertising personalization. Google and Meta ad-click identifiers (gclid and fbclid) are stored in the local attribution record only when both analytics and advertising are allowed. GEA does not include names, contact details or enquiry text in these events. Google and Meta may process technical connection, browser and event information under their own privacy policies, including outside your country. Choosing an external WhatsApp link opens a service operated by Meta; information you send there is handled under WhatsApp’s privacy policy.
Changing your choice to refuse stops the relevant tracking, removes the site’s accessible analytics or advertising cookies and corresponding device records, and reloads the page. It does not erase information already received by Google or Meta, or an enquiry you have submitted. Contact GEA about access or deletion of your enquiry.
Sri Lanka consultation enquiries
If you request Sri Lanka consultation, including through a general form identifying Sri Lankan nationality, GEA’s authorized staff in Korea and GEA KOREA EDUCATION CONSULTANTS in Galle, Sri Lanka, use the enquiry to respond and arrange your consultation. The information shared for this purpose is your name, WhatsApp or other contact number, optional email, nationality, A/L stream and year or other education information, preferred programme, major, intake and budget where supplied, and the message you submit. The notification also includes the form language, submission time and enquiry reference. The enquiry may be sent from Korea to the Sri Lanka office through the consultation notification system. This does not give the office access to unrelated students or private service documents. Consultation sharing is separate from optional analytics and advertising consent.
Sri Lanka office: 322, No. 10 Wakwella Road, Galle · +94 76 304 1323. For access, correction or deletion requests, contact lcj3117@gea.sc.kr.
