Privacy Policy

Seb Fenton Tutoring is a sole trader business based in the United Kingdom, operated by Seb Fenton (“we”, “us”). We are the data controller for the personal data described here.

For any privacy question, or to exercise any of the rights below, email sebfenton10@gmail.com.

When you book a session we ask for:

• The student's first and last name and year group — so Seb knows who he is teaching and at what stage.
• Subject, level and exam board — to teach the right specification.
• What the student is struggling with (optional) — to target the first session and the diagnostic test.
• The payer's name, email address and phone number — to confirm the booking, send the meeting link, and arrange payment. Where a parent or guardian is paying, these are their details rather than the student's.

When you use the contact form we collect the name, email address and message you provide, so that we can reply.

Our lawful basis is performance of a contract for booking and delivering sessions, and legitimate interests for replying to enquiries and keeping basic business records.

Most students are under 18. Where the student is under 18, we ask that a parent or guardian makes the booking, and the contact details we hold are the parent's or guardian's. We do not knowingly collect more information about a child than is needed to teach them, and we do not use children's data for marketing of any kind.

We use a small number of third-party services. Each one only receives what it needs to do its job:

• Supabase — stores bookings, customer contact details and availability. Our database is hosted in the United Kingdom (London region).
• Vercel — hosts the website and processes requests to it.
• No payment processor — payments are not taken through this website. We record only which method you said you would prefer, and arrange payment with you by email. We never ask for, receive or store card details, and no card or bank details are entered on this site.
• Resend — sends booking confirmations and diagnostic tests by email.
• Anthropic — generates the personalised diagnostic test. The subject, level, exam board, year group and the “what are you struggling with” text are sent for this purpose. We do not send the student's name, email address or phone number.

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, they operate under safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

Booking and payment records are kept for six years, which is the period HMRC expects business records to be retained for. Contact-form enquiries that do not lead to a booking are deleted within twelve months. Diagnostic tests are deleted once they are no longer useful for teaching, and in any case within twelve months of the session.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to ask us to: give you a copy of the data we hold about you; correct anything that is wrong; delete your data; restrict or object to how we use it; and provide it in a portable format. You can also withdraw consent where we rely on it.

To exercise any of these, email sebfenton10@gmail.com. We will respond within one month. There is no charge.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not build profiles of visitors. The site uses privacy-friendly, aggregated analytics to count page views so Seb can see which pages are useful. These analytics do not use cookies and do not identify you individually.

No payment provider is embedded in this site, so no payment-related cookies are set here either.

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes affecting existing customers will be notified by email.
