We rely on one or more lawful bases under UK GDPR, depending on the situation:
Under UK GDPR you may have the right to:
Some rights are not absolute and may depend on the lawful basis we are using.
Email your request to thenextsteptuition@gmail.com with the subject line: GDPR Request.
Please include:
Where tutoring is provided to a child, we may need to confirm whether the request is being made by the child or by a parent or guardian. We will handle these requests carefully and may ask for evidence of parental responsibility or the child’s authority to act.
We aim to respond to valid requests within one month. If a request is complex, we may extend this by up to two additional months, and we will explain why.
We do not normally charge a fee. However, if a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may refuse it or charge a reasonable fee, as allowed by law.
To protect privacy, we may ask you for proof of identity before responding to certain requests. We will only ask for what is necessary to verify you.
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This may include account details, order history, communications, and tutoring records, where applicable.
We will usually provide data electronically unless you request otherwise.
If you believe personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. We may ask for evidence where needed.
You may ask us to delete personal data in certain circumstances. We may not be able to delete all data immediately where we must keep it for legal, accounting, safeguarding, or dispute resolution reasons.
You may ask us to restrict how we use your data in certain circumstances, for example while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved.
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. If you object, we will consider your request and stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds or we need to process for legal reasons.
Where applicable, you can ask us to provide certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format, or to send it to another provider where technically feasible.
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
We do not use automated decision making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on you. If this changes, we will update this page and explain your rights.
If you have concerns, contact us first at thenextsteptuition@gmail.com and we will try to resolve the issue.
You also have the right to complain to the UK regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
