The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category.
We will immediately stop processing your data if a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant. If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.
Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website or directly.
We use contact information from web forms, emails, mail and telephone to send you information or materials that you have requested or to provide you a service. Your contact information is also used to contact you when necessary, for example, to fulfil a query or to provide a service. At this stage there is no contractual relationship between us, but in order to fulfil your request, you are providing your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to the terms and conditions of purchase in your booking form and if you wish to receive our newsletters. Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us an email to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists. You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us by email to info@catdrivertraining.co.uk However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our services further.
When you buy a service from us or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us. In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the personal information you give us in order to:
Information is processed on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use information before we enter into a legal contract. We may also aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our performance with respect to a particular service we provide. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.
We are all subject to the law with the requirement to process your information at times in order to comply with a statutory obligation. An example could be where we are required to give information to legal authorities if so requested or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order. This could include your personal information.
When booking our training services you will be required to disclose personal data for any or all of the following purposes:
Information collected is not used for marketing purposes with the exception of the training review facility which is a publicly viewable facility, or if you have given prior consent for materials such as case studies and/or social media activities.
Driving licence details are shared with the training facility in order to meet the authority check for using the facility. DVLA validity checks, insurer approvals, indemnity and disclaimer forms may be passed on to the training venue, insurance company or lawyers in the event of an incident during participation. They are kept for a period of seven years before being securely destroyed. However, once this information is passed onto a third party it falls outside our control.
Our accounting software (Xero) is cloud based. Data may be transferred outside of the EEA. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, it will only be transferred to countries that have been identified as providing adequate protection for EEA data (like New Zealand), or to a third party where Xero have approved transfer mechanisms in place to protect personal data – i.e., by entering into the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or by ensuring the entity is Privacy Shield certified (for transfers to US-based third parties).

A Data Processing Agreement is in place between our companies.

The length of time we keep your personal data depends on what it is and whether we have an ongoing business need to retain it (for example, to provide you with a service you’ve requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
We’ll retain your personal data for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period of time afterwards where we have an ongoing business need to retain it based on the above. Following that period, we’ll make sure it’s deleted or anonymised.
When you contact us, whether by telephone, through our website, by email or by social media, we collect the data you have given to us in order to reply with the information you need. We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business – this can sometimes be done in the form of an internal customer relationship management system. We keep personally identifiable information associated with your message, such as your name and email address, so as to be able to track our communications with you to provide high quality levels of customer service.
