Why we use it
- To provide the coaching you've booked, including session planning, homework reports and mock test feedback. The legal basis is the contract between us.
- To reply to your enquiries before you book. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you.
- To keep financial records for tax. The legal basis is our legal obligation.
We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Who we share it with
Only the services we need to run the coaching: Zoom for live sessions, WhatsApp for messages, and our bank or payment provider for payments. Each of these handles your information under its own privacy policy.
