This policy applies when you visit wonderlabstem.com, contact us about a programme, or request WonderLab resources and email updates. It is intended to meet the transparency requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Cyprus Law 125(I)/2018.
01
Who is responsible for your data?
The data controller is WonderLab STEM, operated in Cyprus. The controller decides why and how personal data is used.
02
What personal data do we use?
When you contact us
We may receive your name, email address, organisation or school, and anything you include in your message.
When you request the free missions pack or email updates
We may process:
- your first name;
- your email address;
- your consent and subscription confirmation; and
- subscription or unsubscribe records needed to respect your preferences.
Please do not enter a child’s name, email address or other identifying information in the form.
When you use the website
Our hosting provider may process limited technical records such as IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps and security logs to deliver and protect the site.
If you allow optional analytics, Google Analytics processes information such as page views, session statistics, approximate location, browser and device information, and a pseudonymous client identifier. For visitors in the EU, Google states that IP addresses are used briefly to derive coarse location and then discarded before they are logged.
When you open or submit the email form, Google reCAPTCHA may process your IP address, browser or device information and interaction signals to help distinguish people from automated abuse.
03

04
Who may receive your data?
We share personal data only where necessary with:
- website hosting and technical service providers;
- Brevo, which operates the email subscription form and mailing list;
- Google reCAPTCHA, which helps protect the subscription form from automated abuse;
- Google Analytics, only after you allow optional analytics, to provide website-use reports;
- professional advisers where reasonably necessary; and
- public authorities where disclosure is required by law.
Service providers act under appropriate contractual and confidentiality obligations. We do not sell or rent personal data.
International transfers
If a provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, we use a lawful transfer mechanism where required, such as an adequacy decision or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, together with appropriate safeguards.
05
How long do we keep personal data?
- Enquiries: for as long as needed to respond and manage any resulting relationship, then for up to 24 months unless a longer period is legally required.
- Email-list records: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent. We may keep a minimal suppression record so we do not contact you again.
- Technical and security logs: for the limited period set by our hosting provider and as reasonably needed for security.
We may retain information longer where required for legal, accounting, safeguarding or dispute-resolution purposes.
06
Children’s privacy
WonderLab programmes are made for children, but this website’s enquiry and email-signup features are intended for parents, guardians, educators and other adults.
We do not knowingly ask children to provide their own contact details through the website. Under Cyprus law, where an online service offered directly to a child relies on consent, a child can consent from age 14; below 14, consent must be given or authorised by a parent or guardian.
If you believe a child has sent us personal data without appropriate permission, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
07
Cookies and browser storage
WonderLab does not use advertising cookies. Google Analytics is optional and is blocked unless you choose “Allow analytics”. If allowed, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish users and maintain session state. We keep advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation disabled.
The site stores your analytics choice in local storage under wonderlabAnalyticsConsentV1. The free-pack feature also uses local storage to remember whether you submitted or dismissed its form. These preferences stay on your device until you clear this site’s stored data.
Your first name and email address are submitted directly to Brevo when you send the form. Google reCAPTCHA may use cookies or similar technical storage as part of its security checks.
You may accept, refuse or change analytics at any time. Refusing analytics does not affect essential site features.
08
How do we protect your data?
We use proportionate technical and organisational safeguards intended to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration. No internet service can be guaranteed completely secure, but we review safeguards as the website and services develop.
09
Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, the GDPR gives you the right to:
- ask for access to your personal data;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request deletion or restriction;
- receive certain data in a portable format;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing; and
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier lawful processing.
To exercise a right, email us. We may ask for information needed to confirm your identity. We normally respond within one month, as required by the GDPR.
