1. Overview
Mycoursis is an independent student website for supported AUB and LAU students. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to AUB or LAU. In this policy, “Mycoursis,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the team operating mycoursis.com and its student tools.
This policy applies to our website, accounts, and related services. It does not cover third-party websites or services that have their own privacy policies.
2. Information we collect

3. How we use information
We use information to:
- create and manage accounts, verify supported university access, and provide the tools you request;
- save your settings and academic-planning choices;
- respond to support requests, complaints, reports, and feedback;
- operate, maintain, troubleshoot, understand, and improve Mycoursis;
- detect abuse, protect students and the service, enforce our rules, and maintain security; and
- comply with applicable law and protect our legal rights.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on providing the service you requested, our legitimate interests in operating and securing Mycoursis, your consent for optional usage cookies where required, and compliance with legal obligations.
6. Retention and security
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed to provide Mycoursis, maintain legitimate business and security records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. Retention periods vary by the type of information and why we hold it. Backups and security logs may remain for a limited period after information is removed from active systems.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information, including access controls, protected credentials, request validation, and private access controls for student resources. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please use a strong, unique password and contact us if you suspect unauthorized account access.
7. Your choices and rights
You may update available profile information in your account, change your usage-cookie choice in Cookie Settings, or contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information associated with you. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or complain to a data-protection authority.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where required by law or where an exception applies. Mycoursis is intended for university students and is not directed to children under 13.
