Privacy Policy

Inline with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) that came into place on the 25th May 2018, it’s now required to have a policy in place. During your first lesson you will be asked to confirm you have read and understood Edd’s Driving School’s Privacy Agreement. If you have any questions at all, please ask me anytime.

Who we are

How your personal information is used

New students are required to complete a basic personal information form so that we can contact you regarding your lessons, and verify your provisional driving license for insurance purposes. During lessons Edd may take notes of your learning goals, experience/ability and areas for improvement to tailor your learning experience. You can request this information at any time.

Additional to this, online visitors to our site may be asked to opt into ‘cookies’ to improve your visitor experience. Read more about cookies below.

Contact form

When visitors submit a contact form we collect the data shown in the contact form, and potentially also the visitors IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. This is controlled and protected by WordPress in order to deliver your query and contact information to Edd’s e-mail, and not accessible by Edds Driving School. The WordPress service privacy policy is available here: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/about/privacy/.
