GDPR POLICY

 

This privacy notice has been produced to help you understand why I, your local driving school instructor, need to obtain/store your personal information and how it will be used. Who it might be shared with and how long it might be kept. The notice will also remind you of the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Where the information is not necessary to deliver the services you require from me, it may be necessary for me to obtain your consent to either collect such information in the first place or to use it for other purposes than you would legitimately expect. Below is a list of the Personal Information I may collect and how it will be used:

​

1. With your consent, I may need to keep your credit/debit card details for the purpose of receiving payment from you for my services or products. This information will be stored in a secure manner to ensure your Personal Data rights are not breached until such time as you cease to use my services or expressly require me to erase/destroy such information, which will be disposed of in a secure manner.

2. I will need to keep written and secure digital records of all payments made, lesson appointments booked, and lessons delivered for the purpose of maintaining accurate accounting records as is legally required of me for 6 years. At this point, the account records and any supporting personal information will be disposed of in a secure manner. This information will be held in my paper-based/digital diary, my paper-based Student Record System, my account sales day book, and potentially digitally.

3. I will require your name, address, email address, telephone numbers(s), date of birth, and provisional driving licence details for the purpose of:

 

Providing my services as a Driving Instructor so that I may contact you or find you or give you access to the online services I provide in legitimate pursuit of this role until my services are no longer required by you. Such information will be recorded in my paper-based Student Record System and potentially digitally on my encrypted laptop so I can book a Driving Test on your behalf. Providing you with promotional offers in relation to my business with your expressed permission until you otherwise remove such consent. Maintaining accurate accounts records as is legally required of me for a period of 6 years. (see point 2)

​

1. I will hold records of your learning progress in my Student Record System and possibly in a secure digital form on my business laptop.

2. I will hold records of your test failures and passes noting where the driving faults occurred on your test report in my paper-based Student Record System so that I can monitor my own personal performance in this regard.
