Privacy Policy

Last updated: not yet published

This policy explains what happens to the information you send through the enquiry form on this site. Scottish Chemistry Tutor is the data controller for that information.

Who I am

Scottish Chemistry Tutor is a sole-trader online tutoring service run by Lisa McCulloch.

Note to client

[TODO client: trading address, or the county/region you're willing to publish. A controller has to be identifiable.]

You can reach me at lisa@scottishchemistrytutor.co.uk.

What I collect

Your name
Your email address
The pupil's level
The type of support wanted
When you'd like to start
Preferred lesson times
Anything you choose to write in the free-text boxes

Those free-text boxes may include information about a child, for example their confidence, their learning needs or their previous exam results. Please share only what you think is useful for me to know.

I do not collect payment details through this website.

Why I collect it, and my lawful basis

Reading your enquiry and replying, including whether I have suitable availabilityConsent — Article 6(1)(a)

Any detail about a child's health, learning needs or confidenceExplicit consent — Article 9(2)(a)

I will not add you to a mailing list or send marketing.

Who it is shared with

I do not sell your information, and I do not share it with anyone for their own purposes.

The enquiry form is processed by Web3Forms, which transmits what you submit to my inbox by email and does not otherwise retain or use it.

The form also uses hCaptcha (Intuition Machines, Inc.) to tell human visitors from automated spam. hCaptcha may process a small amount of technical data from your browser to make that judgement.

Note to client

[TODO client: name the email provider that will hold the enquiry once it is delivered, e.g. Google Workspace, Microsoft 365.]

How long it is kept

Note to client

[TODO client: how long do you keep enquiries that don't become lessons, and how long do you keep records for pupils you do teach? A common answer is 12 months for unsuccessful enquiries, and for the duration of tutoring plus a set period afterwards.]

Information about children

Enquiries are normally made by a parent or guardian. If you are under 18 and enquiring for yourself, please ask a parent or guardian to do it with you.

Information about a pupil is used only to prepare for and deliver their lessons.

Your rights

A copy of the information I hold about you
Correction of it
Deletion of it
Restriction of what I do with it
Objection to my using it
It in a portable format

Because I rely on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. That won't affect anything done before you withdrew it.

Note to client

[TODO client: confirm the route for these requests; lisa@scottishchemistrytutor.co.uk is assumed.]

Cookies and analytics

This site runs no analytics or advertising tracking. Nothing here follows you around the web.

The one exception is the contact form: it uses hCaptcha to tell human visitors from automated spam, which may set a cookie and collect device and browser signals for that purpose only. It only runs on the contact page, and only when you use the form.

Note to client

[TODO client: this must be re-checked before every release: adding analytics, embedded video or another third-party widget beyond hCaptcha would make the first line untrue.]

Complaints

If you think I've handled your information badly, please tell me first and I'll try to put it right.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.
