1. Who We Are
Verulavi is a driving school operating across multiple European regions. When you book a lesson, enrol in a course, or contact us through this website, you are sharing personal information with a team of instructors and administrative staff who take that responsibility seriously.
This policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over it. It applies to anyone who visits verulavi.com, fills in one of our forms, or books any of our driver training services.
2. What Information We Collect
We only collect the information we genuinely need to deliver driving instruction and to stay compliant with local licensing regulations. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:
- Your name, date of birth and contact details (email, phone, postal address)
- Your driving licence number, licence category and expiry date
- Booking history, lesson dates, duration and assigned instructor
- Payment records, invoices and deposit confirmations
- Any notes your instructor makes to track your progress across lessons
- Technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited on our website
3. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used strictly to schedule and deliver driving lessons, issue invoices, communicate about your course, and meet the record-keeping obligations required by transportation authorities where we operate.
We may also use your contact details to send practical updates about your booked sessions, changes to instructor availability, or safety notices. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to advertisers, insurance brokers or any third party for their own marketing purposes under any circumstance.
4. Legal Basis and GDPR Rights
For visitors and students located in the European Union, we process personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our lawful bases are contract performance (delivering your booked lessons), legal obligation (keeping training records), and legitimate interest (site security and service improvement).
Under GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate details, request erasure when there is no ongoing legal obligation, restrict or object to certain processing, and receive a portable copy of your data. You can exercise any of these rights by writing to verulavi@hotmail.com.
- Right of access: request a full copy of your stored data
- Right to rectification: correct any outdated or wrong information
- Right to erasure: ask us to delete data we no longer need to keep
- Right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority
5. Data Retention and Security
Training records are kept for the period required by the licensing authority in your country, typically between three and seven years after your last lesson. Payment records follow standard accounting retention rules. After these periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
All personal data is stored on encrypted servers with access limited to instructors and administrators who need it to do their job. We use secure connections and role-based access controls, and we review our security practices regularly to stay ahead of emerging risks.
6. Cookies and Third-Party Services
Our website uses a small number of cookies to remember your cookie preferences, keep booking forms working reliably, and collect anonymous statistics about which pages are most useful. These cookies do not identify you personally and can be declined at any time on your first visit.
We embed a Google Maps view to show our location, and Google may set its own cookies when that map loads. Refer to the Google privacy policy for details on how that data is handled. We do not run advertising trackers or behavioural profiling scripts on this website.
