Legal, Privacy and Compliance

The website and related digital services are operated by ACLAS in Bishkek. For privacy requests or questions, contact the college at info@aclas.edu.kg or at 33a S. Ibraimova St, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic.

This policy applies to personal data collected through our website, admissions communications, student services, academic administration, events, digital learning tools, and other official college interactions. Separate notices may apply to specific services where required.

Depending on your relationship with ACLAS, we may collect the following categories of data:

We use personal data to provide and improve educational services, process applications, manage enrollment, maintain academic records, communicate with students and families, protect campus and digital security, comply with reporting duties, respond to inquiries, operate the website, and analyze service performance.

Processing may be based on consent, performance of an educational or service relationship, compliance with legal obligations, protection of vital or safety interests, and ACLAS's legitimate institutional interests. Where consent is required, you may withdraw it unless the data must be retained for legal, academic, or administrative reasons.

ACLAS does not sell personal data. We may share data only where necessary and lawful:

Some technology providers, partners, or cloud services may process data outside the Kyrgyz Republic. Where this occurs, ACLAS takes reasonable steps to protect the information through contractual safeguards, access controls, and security measures appropriate to the service.

We retain personal data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including admissions, education delivery, academic records, audit, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and institutional reporting. Academic and regulatory records may need to be kept for extended periods under applicable rules.

We use organizational, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we work to reduce risk responsibly.

Subject to applicable law, students, applicants, and other individuals may request access to their personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion or restriction where legally available, review of consent choices, and information about how data is processed. Requests can be sent to info@aclas.edu.kg.

Where services involve minors, ACLAS handles personal data with additional care and may require consent or involvement from a parent, guardian, or legally authorized representative when required by law or college procedure.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, college operations, or service practices. The updated version will be published on this page with a revised date.

By accessing the website or using ACLAS digital services, you agree to these terms and any applicable college policies. Enrollment, admissions, tuition, academic conduct, and campus access may also be governed by separate agreements, handbooks, or official regulations.

The website is provided for informational purposes. ACLAS works to keep information accurate and current, but program details, schedules, fees, admissions criteria, scholarships, faculty assignments, and policies may change. Website information does not create a guarantee of admission, enrollment, visa approval, academic outcome, employment, or financial benefit.

Applicants and students are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and timely information. ACLAS may request supporting documents, verify submitted information, and decline or suspend services if information is false, incomplete, misleading, or inconsistent with applicable requirements.

If you receive access to a student portal, email account, learning platform, or other digital service, you are responsible for keeping credentials confidential and for activity under your account. You must notify ACLAS promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

Users must not misuse ACLAS systems or content. Prohibited conduct includes:

Students and applicants must follow academic honesty standards. Plagiarism, falsified documents, unauthorized collaboration, exam misconduct, use of another person’s account, or misuse of AI and digital tools may result in academic or administrative action.

The website, branding, text, images, designs, course descriptions, and institutional materials are owned by ACLAS or licensed to ACLAS unless otherwise stated. Course materials may be used only for personal educational purposes and may not be copied, published, sold, or redistributed without permission.

The website and college services may link to or integrate third-party platforms, including analytics, maps, video, payment, admissions, communication, or learning services. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Services and website content are provided on an 'as available' basis. Nothing on the website should be treated as legal, immigration, medical, financial, or professional advice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ACLAS is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the website or digital services.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Kyrgyz Republic. The parties should first attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith communication with ACLAS. If unresolved, disputes may be submitted to competent authorities or courts in Bishkek, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

ACLAS may update these Terms of Service to reflect changes in law, institutional operations, technology, or service practices. For questions, contact info@aclas.edu.kg or 33a S. Ibraimova St, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic.
