Lingoda is an online language school that teaches German, French, English, Spanish, Business English and Italian through live classes with native-speaking teachers. Classes take place on Zoom, either in small groups of two to four students or as one-to-one lessons, and are aimed at adult learners, professionals and companies. Learners book sessions, track progress and practise between classes with downloadable materials and exercises in the web and mobile app. The service is delivered online as a hosted platform.
Lingoda GmbH has its address in Berlin, Germany, so the operator is established in the EU. The company's website does not publish its shareholders, and the investor details that exist come from third-party data providers. The privacy pages reviewed do not state where customer data is stored or which cloud providers are used. A European organisation buying Lingoda for staff should therefore ask for written confirmation of hosting regions and sub-processors in its data processing agreement.
