Who we are
Our website address is: https://salihdrivingschool.co.uk.
Salih Driving School respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string. This information is used to help detect and prevent spam.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using the service. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: Automattic Privacy Policy.
After your comment has been approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS data). Visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract location information contained within them.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our website, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so that you do not need to enter your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain for up to one year.
If you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we may use cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies generally remain for two days, while screen preference cookies remain for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login session will remain active for up to two weeks. Logging out of your account removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and simply identifies the post ID of the article you have edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles and pages on our website may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, maps, or other media from third-party websites.
Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly. These third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with their content.
If you are logged into an account with a third-party website, that service may associate your interaction with the embedded content with your account.
Who we share your data with
We may share personal information with third-party service providers where necessary to operate our website, provide our services, process enquiries, prevent spam, or comply with legal requirements.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than keeping them in a moderation queue.
If users register on our website, we may store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal information, except for their username where applicable.
Website administrators may also access and manage this information where necessary for website administration and security.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting legal, accounting, or administrative requirements.
What rights you have over your data
Depending on applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, including information you have provided to us.
You may also request that we correct inaccurate information or request the deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to any legal, administrative, or security obligations that require us to retain certain information.
To make a privacy-related request, please contact us through the contact details provided on our website.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Information submitted through forms on our website may also be processed by third-party service providers used to manage enquiries, communications, bookings, or other website functions.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that information is handled securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
