- provide visa-related guidance;
- arrange requested partner services;
- schedule consultations and communicate updates;
- provide support and improve the website and app;

Student documents
Please upload only genuine documents that are relevant to the service you have requested. P2D will use submitted documents for legitimate purposes connected with that service, and applies access and security controls to them.
Please do not upload sensitive information that has not been asked for.
Marketing and communications
Where required, P2D may ask for separate consent before sending promotional communications such as study-abroad updates, events, scholarships, offers and service announcements. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.
Essential service communications may continue where they are necessary to provide a service you have requested.
Data security
P2D maintains technical and organisational measures appropriate to the information processed, including access controls, authentication, secure transmission, restricted administrative access, secure storage and monitoring where appropriate.
No online system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Data retention
P2D retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or comply with legal obligations. When information is no longer required, P2D will seek to securely delete or anonymise it, or otherwise handle it in accordance with applicable law.
Your rights and grievances
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including:
- access to the information we hold about you;
- correction or updating of that information;
- withdrawal of consent, where applicable;
- deletion or erasure, where applicable;
- raising a grievance about how your information is handled.
You can make a request using the contact details below.
International processing
Because P2D assists with international education, relevant information may need to be processed or shared across countries depending on your destination, institution, application process or the service requested. P2D will use the measures required by applicable law.
Third-party websites and services
The P2D website and app may link to third-party websites or services. Those third parties operate under their own terms and privacy policies, and P2D is not responsible for privacy practices outside its control.
Children and minors
Where a service involves children or minors, P2D applies the processes required by applicable law, including any parental or guardian consent requirements.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
P2D may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in services, technology, legal requirements or data-processing practices. The latest version will always be published on this page.
