Depending on how you use our services, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, account details, enquiry content, vehicle preferences, saved vehicles, auction alerts and transaction or sourcing information.

We also receive technical information such as IP address, browser and device details, pages visited, referral information, cookie identifiers, consent choices and security logs. Analytics or marketing information is collected only where the required consent has been given.

Please do not submit special-category data, payment-card details or information about another person unless it is necessary and you are authorised to provide it.

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, manage accounts, source and advertise vehicles, provide auction and import support, arrange viewings or services, process transactions, maintain records, prevent fraud and secure the website.

Our lawful bases may include taking steps at your request before entering a contract, performing a contract, complying with legal obligations, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the business, and consent where required for optional analytics or direct marketing.

We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.

We may share information where necessary with authorised staff and contractors, IT and hosting providers, email and communications providers, professional advisers, auction houses, inspection and transport partners, customs or registration agents, payment providers and public authorities.

We require service providers to protect information and use it only for agreed purposes. We do not sell your personal information.

Where a provider processes information outside the United Kingdom, we use an appropriate safeguard recognised by UK data-protection law, such as an adequacy regulation or approved contractual clauses.

We keep information only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose collected, legal and accounting obligations, dispute resolution and the establishment or defence of claims. Enquiry records are periodically reviewed; contractual and financial records may be retained for the period required by law.

We use proportionate technical and organisational safeguards, including access controls, encrypted transmission where available, software updates, backups and restricted administrative access. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Under UK data-protection law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or restrict your personal information, object to certain processing, receive portable data and withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect earlier lawful processing.

To exercise a right, email [email protected]. We may request information necessary to confirm your identity. We normally respond within one month.

You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, although we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first.

Essential technologies support security, sessions and saved consent choices. Optional analytics and marketing technologies are used only after the relevant consent. See our Cookie Policy for details.

You may unsubscribe from marketing using the link in a message or by contacting us. Service communications about an active enquiry, account or transaction are not marketing.

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. Their operators are responsible for their own privacy practices.

We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. The current version and update date will always appear on this page.
