2) Personal data we collect

• Contact details: parent/guardian and/or student name, email.

• Student/lesson info: year group, subjects, goals, school, availability, lesson notes/progress, homework.

• Website usage data: pages viewed, device/browser info, IP address.

• Safeguarding information where a concern is raised or required.

We don’t intentionally collect special-category data (e.g., health) unless you choose to share it (e.g., exam access arrangements). If shared, we use it only where necessary and with extra care.

​

4) Legal bases (UK GDPR)

• Contract – to deliver the tuition/services you request.

• Legitimate interests – e.g., reminders, basic analytics, and running our service.

5) Children’s privacy

We work with minors. We collect student information from parents/guardians or with their knowledge. We normally communicate with parents/guardians unless agreed otherwise. If you’re under 13, please don’t submit forms without a parent/guardian.

7) International transfers

Some providers (e.g., Wix, Google) may process data outside the UK/EEA. We rely on approved safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

​

8) How long we keep data

• Enquiries (no booking): up to 12 months after last contact.

• Student records & lesson notes: while active, then 3 years after the last lesson.
