Rest assured that your privacy is of utmost importance to us, and we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of confidentiality and data protection.

  1. Understanding the information that may be collected during the process is essential. Several types of information may be gathered, including personal information, payment information, website usage information, and communication history. Personal information typically includes your name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, and driver's license details. This information is crucial for identifying you and ensuring all necessary documentation is in order. Payment information may involve collecting credit/debit card details, billing address, and transaction history to process any fees related to our services. 
  2. Website usage information like your IP address, browser type, device information, and cookies are often utilized to enhance user experience and improve the functionality of the online platform used for scheduling. Additionally, communication history records such as emails, phone calls, and messages may be stored to track interactions between you and our instructors and administration staff throughout the process.
  3. When you provide us with your information, rest assured that we have specific purposes for the data we collect. Firstly, we use this information to offer you driving lessons and any related services you may require. This includes tailoring our instruction to your individual needs and preferences, ultimately creating a more personalized learning experience. For example, if you inform us that you have prior experience with driving manual cars, we can focus more on advanced techniques rather than starting from the basics.
  4. When sharing your personal information, it's essential to know that we take your privacy seriously. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. This includes all categories of data except for text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, which will never be shared with third parties.
