OVSphere Institute is an education and training provider that helps learners and professionals understand UK higher education pathways, diploma routes, professional certifications, postgraduate progression and workforce training options. This policy applies to use of www.ovsedu.co.uk, OVSphere enquiry forms, advisor contact and related communications.

When you submit an enquiry, OVSphere may collect your contact details, course interests, preferred level, subject area, qualification background, study goal and any message you choose to include. This helps us understand whether you may be looking for foundation entry, undergraduate diploma routes, postgraduate progression, professional certification or corporate training.
If you contact OVSphere through WhatsApp, your phone number, profile details made visible by WhatsApp and message content may be processed by OVSphere and by WhatsApp according to its own service terms and privacy practices. Avoid sending sensitive documents through WhatsApp unless an advisor has explained why they are needed.
OVSphere processes personal data only where there is a lawful basis under UK GDPR. Depending on the situation, this may include consent, legitimate interests, steps taken before a contract, performance of a contract, or legal obligation.
