Privacy & Cookie Policy

Noor Tutoring Last updated: 14 August 2026

This policy explains what personal information Noor Tutoring collects when you use our website and services, why we collect it, how we look after it, and the rights you have over it. We've tried to keep it clear and readable rather than burying the important parts in jargon. If anything is unclear, you are always welcome to get in touch using the details at the end.

Because most of the people signing up on our behalf are parents and guardians, references to "you" and "your information" mean the adult account holder, unless stated otherwise.

Who is responsible for your information

The data controller is:

Noor Tutoring
Unit 171274, PO Box 6945, London
W1A 6US
United Kingdom

This means Noor Tutoring decides what information is collected and how it is used, and is responsible for keeping it safe.

What information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Contact and account details — your name, email address, phone number, and any details you give when you register, book a class, or get in touch.
  • Payment information — handled securely by our payment providers (see below). We do not store your full card details ourselves.
  • Booking and communication history — the classes you've booked, messages you've sent us, and questions you've asked, so that we can support your child properly.
  • Website usage information — collected automatically as you browse, such as your IP address, device and browser type, the pages you visit, and how you arrived at our site. This helps us keep the site working and understand how it's used.

You provide most of this yourself; usage information is gathered automatically through cookies and similar technologies (explained in the Cookie section below). Where information is required to provide a service — for example, an email address to send you a class link — we'll let you know, and not providing it may mean we can't offer that particular service.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • provide our tutoring classes and manage your bookings;
  • take payment for classes and resources;
  • send you class links, notes, reminders, and progress updates;
  • respond to your enquiries and provide support;
  • send occasional newsletters or updates, where you've asked to receive them (you can unsubscribe at any time);
  • keep our website secure and running properly; and
  • meet our legal and accounting obligations.

We will only use your information for the purposes described here, or for closely related purposes you would reasonably expect.

The services we rely on

Like most small businesses, we use a handful of trusted third-party tools to run things. These providers process some of your information on our behalf, under their own privacy policies:

  • Stripe and PayPal — to take and process payments securely.
  • Calendly — to let you book and schedule sessions (collects your name, email, and phone number).
  • Google Drive and Google Docs — where class notes and shared exercises are stored and worked on during sessions.
  • [Email / newsletter provider] — to manage our mailing list and send updates.
  • WhatsApp — for class-related updates and, where you choose to use it, direct messages with the tutor.
  • [Instagram / Meta] — for our social media presence and any enquiries that come through it.
  • Facebook / Meta (advertising) — we may run advertising through Facebook and Instagram. This can involve Meta's tools (such as the Meta Pixel) placing cookies on your device to measure how our ads perform and to show relevant content to people who may be interested in our classes. Where this relies on your consent, you can manage it through our cookie preferences.
  • [Website analytics provider] — to understand, in aggregate, how our website is used.

We only share your information with these providers to the extent needed for them to do their job, and we choose providers who take data protection seriously. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Where your information is processed

Your information is handled at our place of work and by the service providers listed above. Some of these providers may process information outside the UK. Where that happens, we take steps to ensure your information continues to be protected to a standard equivalent to that required under UK data protection law, for example through approved contractual safeguards.

How long we keep your information

We keep your information only for as long as we need it for the purposes set out above. In practice:

  • information relating to your bookings and payments is kept for as long as you use our services, and afterwards for as long as we're legally required to (for tax and accounting, this is typically several years);
  • marketing information is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to stop; and
  • once we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymise it.

Keeping your information safe

We take appropriate measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Access is limited to those who genuinely need it to run our classes and support you, and our providers are chosen with security in mind. While no system can be completely guaranteed, we take our responsibility here seriously.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), you have the right to:

  • access the information we hold about you and receive a copy of it;
  • correct anything that's inaccurate or incomplete;
  • request deletion of your information where there's no ongoing reason for us to keep it;
  • object to or restrict how we use your information in certain circumstances;
  • withdraw consent at any time, where we're relying on your consent (for example, marketing emails);
  • data portability — to receive your information in a usable format and, where feasible, have it transferred elsewhere; and
  • complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, if you're unhappy with how we've handled your information.

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at [support@noortutoring.com]. We'll respond as quickly as we can, and within one month at the latest. There's no charge for this.

If you'd like to raise a concern with the ICO, you can do so at ico.org.uk or by calling their helpline.

Children's information

Our sign-ups, newsletter, and free materials are intended for adults — parents and guardians registering on behalf of a child. By registering, you confirm you are aged 18 or over. Where we hold information relating to a child in order to deliver classes, we do so on the basis of the parent or guardian's instruction and handle it with particular care.

Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (which we'll refer to together as "cookies") to help it work properly and to understand how it's being used. A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website.

We use the following broad categories:

  • Necessary cookies — needed for the website and essential features, such as secure payment, to function. These can't be switched off.
  • Functionality cookies — remember your choices and enable basic interactions, such as booking through Calendly.
  • Analytics cookies — help us measure website traffic and understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site, so we can improve it.
  • Marketing cookies — where used, help us show relevant content and measure how our advertising performs. This includes Meta's advertising tools (such as the Meta Pixel) when we run ads on Facebook and Instagram.

Some of these cookies are set by us directly, and some by the third-party services listed earlier (for example, Stripe, Calendly, Meta, or our analytics provider).

Managing your preferences

Where cookies rely on your consent, you can give or withdraw that consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel on our website. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you see which cookies have been set, block them, or clear them, though doing so may affect how parts of the site work.

If you'd like to opt out of interest-based advertising more generally, you can do so through YourOnlineChoices (youronlinechoices.com), which covers most advertising tools used in the UK and EU.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll post the revised version here and update the date at the top. Where changes are significant, or where the law requires it, we'll take reasonable steps to let you know. We'd encourage you to check back occasionally.
