Brighter Minds Tuition works with children, so we hold personal information carefully and keep as little of it as we can. If you want anything explained, or want your details removed, email hello@brighterminds-tuition.co.uk and we will deal with it.

Who we are

Brighter Minds Tuition, founded and run by Talia Adanna, provides 1:1 and small group online tuition for primary children. For the purposes of UK data protection law we are the data controller for the information described below.

What we collect

When you enquire: your name, your child's first name, your email address, your phone number, your child's school year, the kind of tuition you are asking about, and anything you write in the message box.
When tuition starts: session notes recording what was taught, what went well and what to practise, plus the dates and times of sessions and a record of payments.
When you visit the site: standard technical information your browser sends, such as your IP address and browser type, held by our hosting provider in its server logs.

What we do with it

To reply to your enquiry and arrange a free intro call.
To plan and deliver tuition, and to send you updates after sessions.
To issue invoices and keep the financial records the law requires us to keep.
To keep the site working and secure.

We do not sell your information, and we do not pass it to anyone for marketing.

Our lawful bases

We rely on legitimate interests to respond to an enquiry you have sent us, on performance of a contract to deliver tuition you have booked, and on legal obligation to keep financial records. Where we ever ask to use a photograph or a piece of your child's work, we rely on your consent, asked for separately and in writing, and you can withdraw it at any time.

Information about children

We keep information about a child to the minimum needed to teach them well. A parent or guardian gives us that information, sees the session notes we write, and can ask us to correct or delete anything. We never publish a child's full name, photograph or work without written permission from their parent or guardian.

Who else sees it

A small number of service providers process information on our behalf, for example our website host, our email provider and our payment provider. They act only on our instructions. We will also disclose information if the law requires it, or if there is a safeguarding concern that we are obliged to report, which we would raise with the appropriate authority.

How long we keep it

Enquiries that do not lead to tuition: deleted within 12 months.
Tuition records and session notes: kept while we are teaching your child and for 2 years afterwards, in case you ask for a reference or a summary.
Invoices and payment records: kept for 6 years, as tax law requires.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you or your child, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, ask us to restrict how we use it, or object to our using it. Email hello@brighterminds-tuition.co.uk and we will respond within one month. If you are not happy with how we have handled it you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
