Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This policy explains what information Find Instructor ("we", "us", "our") collects when you use our website and mobile application (the "Platform"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Platform you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account details — your name, email address and password when you register.
  • Profile details — your phone number, area or postcode, preferred test centres and, for instructors, badge type, badge number, badge document and the bank details used for payouts.
  • Booking and lesson records — lesson bookings, connection requests, reschedule requests, ratings, reviews and any dispute information you submit.
  • Payment records — the amount, method and reference of payments recorded on the Platform. We do not collect or store full card details.
  • Technical data — IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed and similar usage information collected through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To create and manage your account and verify your email address.
  • To connect learners with instructors and to record bookings, reschedules and cancellations.
  • To send service messages such as lesson reminders and account notifications.
  • To verify instructor badges and keep accounts up to date when a badge expires.
  • To review disputes and process instructor withdrawals.
  • To keep the Platform secure, prevent misuse and improve how it works.
  • To display advertising that supports the free use of the Platform.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, understand how the Platform is used, and display advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the Platform may not work as intended without them.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit the Platform.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
  • For more detail, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

5. Sharing Your Information

We share information only where it is needed to run the Platform:

  • Between users — your name, area and lesson details are shared with the learner or instructor you are connected with. Phone numbers and direct email addresses are only released once a connection has been fully approved on the Platform.
  • Service providers — trusted providers who host the Platform, deliver email and support advertising, acting under our instructions.
  • Legal requirements — where we are required to do so by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Data Retention

We keep account, booking and payment records for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards, so we can resolve disputes, meet our legal and accounting obligations and enforce our Terms & Conditions. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

7. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. You can update most of your details from your profile, and you can delete your profile from your account settings. To exercise any other right, contact us through the Contact Us page.

9. Children's Privacy

The Platform is intended for learner drivers and driving instructors. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised, and continued use of the Platform after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.

11. Contact

If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please contact us through the Contact Us page.
