1. What Information We Collect
We may collect a variety of personal information to serve you effectively. This includes your full name, date of birth, contact details such as your email address, phone number, and physical address.

When you visit our website or use any of our digital platforms, we may collect technical data such as browser information, device type, and IP address. If you use any app-based features that involve location tracking, we will only collect location data with your express consent.

3. Consent
By using our services or providing your personal information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your data as described in this policy. If at any time you wish to withdraw your consent, you may do so by contacting us at contact@clintondrivingschool.ca. Please note that withdrawing consent may affect your ability to access or use some of our services.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. In certain cases, we may need to share your data with trusted third parties. For example, payment processors may require your billing information to complete transactions securely. Government agencies or insurance providers may require information for training verification or certification. We may also rely on third-party technology providers for managing bookings or communication. All such parties are required to maintain confidentiality and comply with relevant data protection regulations. If legally required, we may also disclose information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
5. Data Security
We implement a range of security measures to protect your personal information. These include secure cloud-based storage systems, SSL encryption on our website, and restricted access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can view sensitive information. We also perform regular audits and system updates to reduce risks. While we strive to keep your data secure, no system is entirely immune to breaches, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
6. Retention of Data
We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Once your personal data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with standard industry practices.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if any of it is inaccurate or outdated. You may also withdraw your consent to the use of your data, request that we delete your information where legally permissible, or raise concerns about how your data is being handled. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email us at contact@clintondrivingschool.ca. If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
