Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Marjorie's Education Limited ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects personal data when you use our website or contact us about our tutoring services. We are the data controller for the personal data described below.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

What data we collect

Enquiry / Contact form

When you submit an enquiry through our Contact page, we collect:

  • Parent / guardian name
  • Student name (optional)
  • Email address
  • Phone number (optional)
  • School name (optional)
  • Year group / level, subjects of interest, preferred lesson type and lesson mode
  • Any additional information you choose to include in the message field

When you apply to work with us, we collect:

  • Full name

  • Preferred tutoring mode and centre
  • Your CV / résumé and any information contained within it

Messages you send us

If you contact us by email, phone, WhatsApp, or social media, we receive the contact details and content of that message. Messages sent via the WhatsApp button on our site are also processed by WhatsApp (Meta) under its own privacy policy.

Technical data

Our website does not use cookies, analytics, or advertising trackers. Our hosting provider automatically logs limited technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) for security and to keep the service running.

Children's data

Our services are arranged by parents, guardians, or adults. Where an enquiry includes information about a child (for example, a student's name and year group), we rely on the parent or guardian providing that information to us. Please do not submit a child's personal data unless you are their parent or guardian, or are otherwise authorised to do so.

How and why we use your data

  • To respond to your enquiry and discuss your tutoring needs
  • To arrange, deliver, and manage tutoring lessons and related administration
  • To assess and process job applications and recruit tutors
  • To communicate with you about your lessons, your application, or your child's progress
  • To keep records, meet our legal obligations, and protect our legitimate interests (for example, security and record keeping)

Our lawful bases

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases for processing your personal data:

  • Consent – when you submit a form or contact us voluntarily
  • Contract – to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and to provide tutoring services
  • Legitimate interests – to run and improve our business, respond to enquiries, recruit staff, and keep our systems secure
  • Legal obligation – where we are required to retain information by law

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate our website and communicate with you, including:

  • Formspree – processes and delivers our website form submissions to us by email
  • Our website host – hosts the website and keeps server logs
  • WhatsApp (Meta) – if you choose to contact us via the WhatsApp button
  • Professional advisers, or authorities, where required by law

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep your data

We keep enquiry information only for as long as needed to respond and, if you become a client, for the duration of our relationship plus a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal and accounting requirements. Unsuccessful job applications are normally kept for up to 12 months and then deleted, unless you ask us to keep your details on file.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details above.

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

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
