EnglishHints Privacy Policy
EnglishHints.com and the courses products on EnglishHintsHeightsPlatform.com were written to help you learn and practice the English you need to reach your goals. Knowing a little about you makes it easier to do that. But, as the creator and writer of EnglishHints, I respect your privacy and your personal data and protect it (as I try to protect my own when I use the Internet!)
Thanks for your patience with all the detail below—necessary to meet legal requirements as well as to clearly show you all the possible uses of your data on this site.
Kindest regards,
Catherine Simonton, EnglishHints
