Information we collect

When you send an enquiry through the website, call, email, text or WhatsApp, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, the type of lessons you are interested in, your message and any information you choose to give us about your availability or driving experience.

How we use your information

We use this information to respond to enquiries, discuss and arrange driving lessons, manage bookings, communicate about your lessons and keep basic business records. We do not sell your personal information or use it for unrelated marketing.

Our usual legal bases are taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, performing a contract with you, meeting legal obligations and our legitimate interests in running and protecting the business. Where consent is needed, we will ask for it.

Who we share information with

Website enquiries are sent using Brevo, an email delivery provider. Information may also be processed by our website hosting and technical support providers where needed to operate the site securely. We only share information where this is necessary to provide or support the service, meet a legal obligation, or with your permission.

Third-party services and links

This website includes services provided by other companies, including Google Maps, Google Reviews through SociableKIT, and links to WhatsApp and Facebook. These services may collect information or set cookies when they load or when you follow a link. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy notices, not this policy.

How long we keep information

We keep enquiry and customer information only for as long as needed to respond to you, manage lessons, resolve queries and meet record-keeping obligations. The exact period depends on why the information was collected. You can contact us if you would like more detail about the retention period that applies to your information.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you can ask to access, correct, erase, restrict or receive a copy of your personal information. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent where we rely on consent. To make a request, email [email protected].

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page.
