Privacy Policy

Your confidence in the way we look after your data is really important to us. We have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain the types of personal data we may collect about you when you talk to us and how we store, handle and keep that data safe.

It also sets out your rights, how to contact us and (if you need to) how to complain in the event you have a problem or complaint.

Who we are

LynebyLyne is a small organisation that offers Assessments and Tutoring for Learners with Dyslexia/Dyscalculia and co-occurring conditions.

Protecting your data

When LynebyLyne  collect your personal data we are regulated by the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ or ‘processor’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

The personal information we collect and use

The information we collect is needed to deliver the products and services you have requested (such as Assessments or Tutoring) or to keep you informed about things you might reasonably expect, given our relationship. That tends to include things like:

  • Who you are – so we know what to call you
  • Where you live – so we can send you things
  • Telephone number and email – so we can keep in touch
  • If you contact us as a parent or carer, information about your children

How we use your personal information

Normally, we use your personal information to:

  • Make contact with you to establish which services are most appropriate to your needs
  • Introduce you to third parties to help us to provide you with our services (for example Affiliated Tutors and Assessors)
  • Background information to establish assessment and tutoring needs

Who we share your personal information with

We do not routinely share your personal data with anyone unless there is a good reason to do so.  This might include:

  • Other Third Parties (‘third parties’) – We will share your information with 3rd Parties where it is necessary for provision of our services (for example Affiliated Assessors and Tutors)

As you would expect, we will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities, if required by applicable law. We will not share your personal information with any other third party.

Information we need vs information that would be helpful 

We often need your personal data to provide you with the services you have requested. However, occasionally we may ask you for permission to capture additional data that would help us expand our understanding of your needs or market other products and services to you.  We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you whether you are required to provide the information to receive the service or whether this is optional.

How long your personal information will be kept

We will hold your personal data for as long as it is needed for us to provide you with the services or for the period we are required to retain this information by applicable UK tax law (currently 6 years), whichever is the longer.

Reasons we can collect and use your personal information

Rather than bombard you with requests for permissions, we try to limit the data we keep to that required to fulfil our contractual obligations to you and/or the pursuit of our legitimate interest as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data. Our legitimate interest is providing you products and services in relation to Dyslexia/Dyscalculia  and co-occurring conditions and the Montessori approach to teaching.

In limited circumstances, we may also rely on the need to protect your interests (or those of a third party) and/or where processing is in the public interest or for official purposes.

Where we process special category personal information, for example children’s and criminal information, we will only do so with your explicit consent.
