Privacy Policy

We respect the privacy of everyone who visits this website. As a result we would like to inform you regarding the way we would use your personal data. We recommend you to read this privacy policy so that you understand our approach towards the use of your personal data.

By submitting your personal data to us, you will be treated as having given your permission – where necessary and appropriate – for disclosures referred to in this policy.

 

What does this privacy policy cover?

This privacy policy is to inform you regarding the use of your personal information which is collected during your visit to one of our websites.

This privacy policy applies to the majority of our websites, however there may be occasions where there is a need to have a slightly different privacy policy. Whenever a website of Homers Driving School has a different privacy policy it will be made clear that that privacy policy differs from this general Homers Driving School privacy policy. On your journey around the Homers Driving School websites please check the privacy policy of each website which you visit and do not assume that this privacy policy applies to all Homers Driving School.

 

Who is responsible for the personal information collected on this site?

Your personal data is controlled ultimately by Homers Driving School. 16 Muirfield Crescent Tividale Oldbury West Midlands B69 1PN.

 

Special Notice – if you are under 13 years old

Our website is not aimed at children under 13 years old and we will not collect, use, provide or process in any other form any personal information of children under the age of 13 deliberately.

We therefore also ask you, if you are under 13 years old, please do not send us your personal information (for example, your name, address and email address). If you are under 13 years old and you nevertheless wish to ask a question or use this website in anyway which requires you to submit your personal information please get your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf.

 

Purposes of the collection of your data

European Union data protection law has been updated on the 25th May 2018 with the introduction of a new EU level General Data Protection Regulation “GDPR”. This will replace the 1995 Data Protection Directive and all Member State data protection laws. Data protection law requires organisations to handle personal information securely and gives individuals rights in respect to their own data. The new EU law reflects the need to update the legal system for data protection so it is appropriate for our modern information society.

One of many changes in the law relates to the information that must be provided by organisations to individuals when their personal details are collected. The provision of this information means that any consent given to collect and use personal data is appropriately informed. As we hold your contact details from yourself or another party we are informing you of our Data Policy.

What information will we use?

The information you provide yourself when you contact Homers Driving School is necessary so that your information can enable us to find the correct instructor, which course you require or which goods or services you require. If you do not provide this information, we will not be able to help you.

How will your information be used?

As a Data Controller we are legally required to process your personal information fairly and in a transparent manner.

When we can use your information?

We collect and use your information in the following situations:

  • Where our use of your information is necessary for us to perform the contract or contracts that we have with you (these contracts include individual terms & conditions as outlined on our website)
  • Where we collect technical information such as data from cookies and similar technologies as we describe in our Cookie Policy.
  • Where you have given authority to another provider to use your collected data for marketing. However, at any time, you can ask that Homers Driving School stops contacting you. To do so, please contact DPO.

The period for which we will keep your information

We will keep your information for as long as is necessary for us to fulfil the purposes of your requirements. In that period your information will be kept and securely stored anonymously. Once your enquiry, goods or service has been organised, we will ensure that your personal data is no longer retained.

Who will we share your information with?

The recipients of your personal data are limited exclusively to the people who have a need to know such information to perform their responsibilities to you and your needs. We do not sell your personal information to any third parties. We promise we’ll never share your details with anyone else.

Transferring your information internationally

Your personal information will not be transferred internationally. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers situated in the EU. 

What are my rights under data protection legislation?

Data Protection Legislation provides you with certain rights when it comes to the processing of your information. These rights include the right to access your information, to update incorrect information, to delete your information, to restrict processing of your information, to transfer your information and to object to its processing.

You can find further information on your data protection rights and which apply to you from the Information Commission’s Office (the “ICO”) at www.ico.org.uk 

How can I contact Homers Driving School?

If you have questions, comments or complaints about how your information is handled, you should contact the DPO either via email at info@homersdrivingschool.co.uk or via post to FAO Data Protection Officer (DPO), Homers Driving School, 16, Muirfield Crescent, Tividale, Oldbury, West Midlands.
