Privacy Policy

Automatic Driving School Burgess Hill (“we”, “us”) provides automatic driving lessons in Burgess Hill, Mid Sussex and West Sussex. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this website or enquire about lessons, how we use it and what your rights are.

1. Information we collect

When you complete our enquiry form or contact us, we may collect:

• your name, telephone number and email address;
• your date of birth and home address (so we can plan pick-up areas and check lesson suitability);
• your licence type, driving experience, theory test and driving test details, and the days and times you are available;
• any other details you choose to include in your message.

We also collect basic technical information when you visit the site, such as your browser type and pages viewed, through standard website and security tools.

2. How we use your information

• To reply to your enquiry and discuss your lessons.
• To arrange, manage and deliver your driving lessons and, where relevant, your driving test.
• To keep records of lessons, payments and progress.
• To keep our website secure and working properly.

3. Why we are allowed to use it

We use your information to take steps at your request before and during a contract for lessons, and where it is in our legitimate interests to run and secure our business. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

4. Who we share it with

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We share it only where needed to provide your lessons or run our business, for example with your instructor, with the DVSA when a test is booked, and with trusted providers such as our website host and email service who process information on our behalf.
• We may disclose information where the law or a regulator requires it.

5. How long we keep it

We keep your information only for as long as we need it for the purposes above, and for any period the law requires, and then delete or anonymise it.

6. Keeping it secure

Enquiry details are stored on a protected server and we take reasonable steps to guard against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No online system is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive details that are not needed.

7. Cookies

This website uses only the cookies it needs to work. Some pages include an embedded Google Map, and Google may set its own cookies when that map loads. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

8. Your rights

You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal information, to correct it, to ask us to delete it or restrict how we use it, and to object to certain uses. To make a request, please contact us. If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The version on this page is the current version.
