2. Who we share it with
- IONOS (hosting, servers in the UK).

- An email provider, to send account emails such as password resets.
- Authorities, if the law requires it.
Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. When they do, they use safeguards approved under UK law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Extension to the EU and US Data Privacy Framework.
3. How long we keep it
- Account and progress data: while your account is open, and up to 30 days after you ask us to delete it.
- Purchase records: 6 years, as tax law requires.
- Technical logs: up to 90 days.
- Analytics data: as set by Google (14 months) and Microsoft Clarity (up to 13 months).
4. Your rights
You can ask us to:
- give you a copy of your data;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- send it to you or another provider in a common format.
Where we rely on consent (analytics cookies), you can withdraw it at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of the home page. Email us to use any of these rights; we reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the chance to help first.
5. Children
The Service is meant for learner drivers and riders, usually aged 16 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
6. Security
Passwords are stored encrypted, the site uses HTTPS, and access to our systems is limited. No system is completely secure, so please use a strong password that you do not use elsewhere.
7. Changes
We will update this page when our practices change and show the date at the top. Significant changes will be shown in the app.
