4. Our Lawful Bases for Using Personal Information
Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful reason for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your information because:
Contract: The information is necessary to provide a service you have requested or to take steps before entering into a contract with you, such as preparing a quotation or booking your vehicle.
Legal obligation: We need to process or retain certain information to meet legal, accounting, tax or regulatory requirements.
Legitimate interests: Processing is reasonably necessary for operating and protecting our business, managing customer relationships, improving our services, preventing fraud or dealing with business administration, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
Consent: Where consent is required, for example for certain types of electronic marketing or non-essential website cookies, we will ask for it. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw your consent.
5. Vehicle Information
We may record information about vehicles brought to us, including registration numbers, make, model, mileage, service history, faults, diagnostic information and details of repairs or maintenance carried out.
Some vehicle information may be associated with an identifiable customer and will therefore be treated as personal data where applicable.
6. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
Where necessary for operating our business or providing services, information may be shared with trusted third parties such as:
- Vehicle parts and equipment suppliers
- Payment processing providers
- Accounting or bookkeeping providers
- IT, website hosting and software providers
- Professional advisers such as accountants, solicitors or insurers
- Warranty providers where applicable
- Government bodies, regulators, law enforcement agencies or other organisations where disclosure is required by law
We expect organisations processing personal information on our behalf to handle it appropriately and securely.
7. Payments
Where online or electronic payment facilities are provided, payments may be processed by a third-party payment provider.
We do not intend to store complete debit or credit card details ourselves where payments are processed securely by an external payment provider.
The payment provider may process personal information according to its own privacy policy.
8. How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including satisfying legal, accounting, tax, warranty, insurance and business record-keeping requirements.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we will delete it securely or anonymise it where appropriate.
9. Marketing
We may occasionally contact customers about services, offers or information that we believe may be relevant to them where permitted by law.
Where consent is required, we will obtain it before sending marketing communications.
You can ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time by using any unsubscribe facility provided or by contacting us directly.
10. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. Other cookies, such as analytics or advertising cookies, may help us understand how visitors use the website and improve our services.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will not be placed on your device unless you have given the appropriate consent.
Further information about the cookies used on our website may be provided through our cookie notice or cookie settings.
11. Keeping Your Information Secure
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse.
Access to personal information is limited to people and service providers who reasonably require it for legitimate business purposes.
12. International Transfers
Some third-party technology, website, software or cloud service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.
13. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including the right to:

- Ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances
- Ask us to restrict how your information is processed
- Object to certain uses of your information
