Who we are
Connect Driving is run by David Sheppard. He is responsible for the personal information described on this page. To ask about it, call or message 07885 327198.
What this website collects
Nothing by itself. The site has no accounts, no analytics and no cookies.
The enquiry form doesn’t send your answers to the website. It writes a message in WhatsApp or your text-message app, and you decide whether to send it.
When you contact us
If you message or call, David receives your phone number, your name if you give it, and whatever you tell him, such as your town and the lessons you want. Please don’t send health details in a first message.
Why we use it
To reply to you and to arrange and give your lessons. The legal basis is that you have asked us to do something before entering a contract with you and, once you are a learner, that we need the information to carry out that contract.
Who sees it
David. If another Connect Driving instructor will be teaching you, David passes on what they need to arrange your lessons.
Messages sent with WhatsApp are also handled by WhatsApp under its own privacy policy. This website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver the pages and keep them secure.
How long we keep it
Only for as long as it’s needed to deal with your enquiry and any lessons that follow, and to keep the accounts and tax records the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask David for a copy of your information, ask him to correct or delete it, or object to how it’s used. If you’re unhappy with how it has been handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
If you’re under 18
A parent or guardian is welcome to get in touch for you.
