Gus Hilton Driving School.

Information collected by telephone or other person-to-person contact

To allow for the efficient administration of practical driving lessons and driving tests certain information relating to the pupil may be collected and processed by Gus Hilton Driving School (‘the school’). This can include, but is not limited to, the pupil’s full name, address, date of birth, telephone number, email address and driver number. The control and processing of this data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

​

The school will not pass the pupil’s details to any third party without the pupil’s consent (unless required to do so by law). The pupil consents to their details being passed to the school’s insurers in the event of an actual or potential claim and to allow the school to arrange motor vehicle cover where the pupil requests driving lessons to be taken in their own car.

Records of payments made by pupils are kept for 5 years beyond the last payment for HMRC purposes.

​

Any physical records of the pupil’s progress in lessons will be destroyed by shredding within one calendar month of the pupil passing their driving test unless the pupil has indicated that they wish to take up further training, such as motorway lessons or the Pass Plus programme.

​

Where a pupil’s telephone number is held on the school’s telephone system this number will be deleted within one calendar month of the pupil passing their driving test unless the pupil has indicated that they wish to take up further training, such as motorway lessons or the Pass Plus programme. They will at the same time be removed from the school’s WhatsApp group.

​

Email conversations between the school and the pupil will be deleted within one calendar month of the pupil passing their driving test unless the pupil has indicated that they wish to take up further training, such as motorway lessons or the Pass Plus programme. The pupil’s email address will not be held within the school’s email contacts list.

​

On passing of their practical driving test consent will be sought from the pupil for their photo to appear on the school’s Facebook page and website (www.gushiltondrivingschool.co.uk). This will appear with their first name only. The pupil may ask at any time for this to be removed.

​

Use of in-car dashcam

The School car is fitted with an in-car dashcam. This may be used as a training aid, to review and assess situations that occur during the lesson. The camera is forward facing and does not capture images within the car. The microphone will be muted and will not record audio from within the car.
