Who We Are

Oxon Driving Tuitions is a driving school based in Oxford, UK. We provide driving lessons and related services to learners in Oxford and the surrounding area.

For the purposes of data protection law, the data controller is Samir Sibachir, trading as Oxon Driving Tuitions.

What Personal Data We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal data depending on how you interact with us:

When you make an enquiry or use our contact form

Your name, email address, phone number, and any information you include in your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry and to discuss lessons or bookings with you.

When you book a lesson

Your name, contact details, and any relevant information about your driving experience or licence. This is needed to manage your booking and communicate with your instructor.

When you visit our website

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. It helps us improve the website and understand which pages are most useful.

When you leave a comment on our website

We collect the information you enter in the comment form, including your name, email address, and the content of your comment. We also collect your IP address and browser details to help with spam detection.

Your email address may be used to check whether you have a Gravatar profile picture, which would then appear alongside your comment. Gravatar is operated by Automattic. Their privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small files placed on your device that help the website function and help us understand how it is being used.

Cookies we use include:

  • Comment cookies: if you leave a comment and opt in, your name, email, and website are saved in cookies for one year so you do not need to re-enter them next time.
  • Analytics cookies: to help us understand visitor behaviour in an anonymised way.
  • Functional cookies: if you log in to the site (for example, as an admin), temporary cookies are set to keep your session active. These are removed when you log out or close your browser.

You can control and disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages on our website may include embedded content such as videos or maps. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited that website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interaction with their content. We have no control over this.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data to anyone.

We may share your data with:

  • Your driving instructor, so that they can contact you to arrange lessons.
  • Our booking system provider, to manage appointments.
  • Analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), which process anonymised usage data.
  • Spam detection services, which may check comments submitted on our website.

We only share what is necessary and only with services that are used to operate the business.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Enquiry and contact messages are kept for a reasonable period to allow us to respond and follow up, and then deleted.

Learner records are retained while you are an active learner and for a reasonable period afterwards, in case you return or have a query about past lessons.

Website comments and their metadata may be retained indefinitely to allow us to manage future comments from the same person. Website administrators can view and edit this data.

Any data we are legally required to keep (for example, for financial or tax records) will be retained for as long as the law requires.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate data
  • Ask us to delete your data, where we are not legally required to keep it
  • Object to how we use your data
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
