Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Write to Success collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when visitors use www.writetosuccess.net, contact the business, or use its services. Under the GDPR, a privacy notice should explain who controls the data, what categories of personal data are collected, the legal bases for processing, retention, sharing, international transfers, and the rights available to data subjects.

Who controls the data

Write to Success is the data controller for the personal data collected through this website and related teaching, tutoring, writing, and academic coaching services. For privacy enquiries or data protection requests, contact: info@writetosuccess.net. GDPR requires that individuals be told the identity and contact details of the data controller.

Personal data collected

Depending on how the site is used, Write to Success may collect:

  • Name and email address.

  • Phone number, if voluntarily provided.

  • Information submitted through contact forms, booking forms, email, or other direct communications.

  • Client or student information relevant to teaching, tutoring, academic coaching, or writing support.

  • Billing and payment information where services are purchased, although payment card data may be processed by third-party payment providers rather than stored directly.

  • Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, referral source, and site usage data.

  • Cookie and consent-preference data where cookies or similar technologies are used.

How personal data is used

Personal data may be used to:

  • Respond to enquiries.

  • Provide tutoring, academic coaching, writing, or related services.

  • Arrange bookings, scheduling, and service administration.

  • Issue invoices and maintain financial records.

  • Improve website functionality, performance, and security.

  • Comply with legal, tax, or regulatory obligations.

  • Send service-related communications and, where lawful, occasional updates about services.

Legal bases for processing

Personal data is processed on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Consent: where a user has clearly agreed, such as consenting to optional cookies or opting into marketing communications.

  • Contract: where processing is necessary to provide requested services or to take steps before entering into a contract.

  • Legal obligation: where records must be kept for accounting, tax, or legal compliance.

  • Legitimate interests: where processing is reasonably necessary to run, protect, and improve the website and services, provided those interests are not overridden by the individual’s rights.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, embedded content, or security. Non-essential cookies should not be set until the visitor has given valid consent, and rejecting non-essential cookies must be as easy as accepting them.

Sharing personal data

Personal data may be shared only where necessary with trusted service providers such as website hosts, email providers, form processors, payment processors, scheduling tools, analytics providers, and professional advisers. The website should not sell personal data, and any third-party processor should handle data only under appropriate contractual and security arrangements.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where that happens, appropriate safeguards should be used, such as adequacy decisions or approved contractual protections.

Data retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any applicable legal, accounting, or tax obligations.

  • General enquiries: up to 12 months.

  • Active client records: for the duration of the service relationship and a reasonable period afterward.

  • Financial and invoice records: for as long as required by applicable tax and accounting law.

Data security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.

Children’s data

Because Write to Success works with students, some personal data may relate to children or minors. Personal information will be collected with the involvement of a parent or guardian, and only data that is genuinely necessary for educational services processed.

Individual rights

Under the GDPR, individuals may have the right to:

  • Request access to their personal data.

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances.

  • Request restriction of processing.

  • Object to certain processing.

  • Request portability of data where applicable.

  • Withdraw consent at any time where consent is the legal basis for processing.

  • Lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory authority.

Requests can be sent to: info@writetosuccess.net

Third-party links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded third-party content. Accessing those sites means users are subject to the third parties’ privacy practices, and Write to Success is not responsible for their policies or content.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services, legal obligations, or data practices. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the updated date.
