Privacy policy

Best Defensive Drive (“we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We follow Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

What we collect

When you send a booking request, we collect the information you enter in the form:

your name
your phone number
your email address (optional)
your licence level
the lesson you’re interested in
your preferred lesson language, days and times
your pick-up area or postal code
anything else you choose to write in the message box

If you call us, email us or message us on WhatsApp, we receive your phone number or email address and the messages you send.

Why we collect it

We use your information only to:

reply to your request
arrange, confirm and give your driving lessons
contact you about lessons you have booked

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We do not send you marketing messages.

Who can see it

Your booking request is sent to our email inbox (bestdefensivedrive@gmail.com) using Netlify, the company that hosts this website. Our email is provided by Google (Gmail). Netlify and Google may store and process this information on servers outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be subject to the laws of that country.

If you contact us on WhatsApp, WhatsApp’s own privacy policy also applies to those messages.

Only Best Defensive Drive uses your information. We share it only if the law requires us to.

How long we keep it

We keep booking requests and contact details for 12 months after your last lesson or enquiry, and then delete them, unless the law requires us to keep them longer.

Cookies, analytics and maps

This website does not use analytics or advertising cookies.

Our map of 35 Vanwart Drive is provided by Google Maps. When it loads, Google may collect information under its own privacy policy.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You can also withdraw your consent at any time, though we may then be unable to arrange lessons for you.
