Last updated: 01/03/26

This Privacy Notice explains how Tom Morgan (“I”, “me”, “my”) collects, uses, stores and protects your personal information when you visit this website, make an enquiry, book a lesson or service, or otherwise contact me.

5. Lawful bases for using your information

Under UK data protection law, I must have a lawful basis for using your personal information. Depending on the circumstances, I may rely on:

  • Contract – where I need your information to provide a service you have requested or agreed to

  • Legitimate interests – where I use your information for the day-to-day running of my business, responding to enquiries, improving services, and keeping records, provided this does not override your rights

  • Legal obligation – where I need to keep records for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements

  • Consent – where required, for example in relation to certain cookies or where I ask for permission to use your information in a particular way

The ICO says privacy notices should explain both the purposes of processing and the lawful bases relied on.

I may share your personal information, where necessary, with:

  • payment providers

  • accountants or professional advisers

  • website and email service providers

  • Squarespace or connected website tools, where they process data on my behalf

For example:

  • enquiry information may be kept for a reasonable period in case you wish to proceed

  • client and booking records may be kept while services are being provided and afterwards for record-keeping purposes

  • financial records may be kept for as long as required by tax or accounting law

The ICO says privacy information should include retention periods, or the criteria used to decide them.

8. Cookies and website analytics

My website may use cookies or similar technologies to help it function properly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site.

Where required, I will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues.
