How we use it

We don’t sell your information or use it for marketing unless you ask us to.
Who we share it with
Service providers who help us run the site and handle enquiries: Cloudflare (hosting), Formspree (form handling) and WhatsApp (Meta). Some may process data outside the UK. We may also share details with the DVLA or vehicle history and finance check providers where needed, and with advisers, regulators or law enforcement where required by law.
How long we keep it
If you don’t sell us a car, we keep your enquiry for up to 12 months, then delete it. If you sell us a car, we keep transaction records for as long as the law requires, usually six years.

You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, restrict or object to how we use it, and in some cases receive a copy. Contact us using the details above. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
