What we collect and why

• Booking enquiries — when you call us or message us on WhatsApp, we receive your name, phone number and any other details you choose to share (such as email, area, lesson type or test date). We use this only to reply to you and arrange lessons. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and your consent.
• Pupil records — if you take lessons, we keep the information needed to deliver them, such as your learner permit details and EDT logbook progress, as required by the Road Safety Authority (RSA). Legal basis: contract and legal obligation.
• Reviews — we only publish a review on this site with your permission, using your first name and initial. You can ask us to remove it at any time.

• Our website host, which stores standard server logs (such as IP addresses) for security for a short period.
• The Road Safety Authority, where required for EDT records.

How long we keep it

Enquiries that don't lead to lessons are deleted once they're no longer needed.Pupil records are kept for as long as needed for your lessons and any legal or RSA requirements, then deleted.
