Privacy Policy

Consultant-Student Communication

The main purpose of LOS Language Online services (LOS) is to allow LOS consultants to provide LOS students with services that students need. LOS does not screen or edit the content of communications between students and consultants. Such communications are personal and private unless both parties agree to additional distribution. LOS keeps information relayed between the student and the consultant confidential. No other users of LOS have access to this information.
