Privacy notice

Last updated: 19 October 2026.

Your enquiries

Forms store your name, email, telephone, vehicle, message and relevant preferences, such as a test drive date or finance deposit. Part exchange enquiries include registration and mileage. We use these to respond to your request and take steps you request before a possible purchase.

Separate optional permission is requested for email marketing. You can withdraw it by contacting the team.

Finance applications and optional documents

Finance applications also include date of birth, current and previous address details, residential status, employment, income, housing costs and your confirmation. We use these details to prepare and review the application you request. After a finance application you can choose to upload a photo ID, a PDF bank statement and proof of income. These files are not kept on this website: they go straight to our dealer management system (10X Dealership), are stored privately with your application, can be opened only by our finance and management team, and every opening is recorded. No credit search is carried out by this website.

A secure, essential cookie links your browser to your application for 48 hours. Any lender sharing and credit checks will be explained before proceeding.

Storage and sharing

Enquiries and finance applications are stored in the website’s database and passed to our customer management system (10X Dealership), where authorised members of our team handle them. A lender’s privacy notice and application process will apply if you proceed with finance. Do not enter bank details, identity documents or sensitive financial information in messages.

External services and device storage

WhatsApp, Google Maps and social links open external services with their own privacy notices. WhatsApp links include the vehicle and enquiry reference; you decide whether to send. Your shortlist is stored on your device. Contact details you enter are reused across enquiry forms in the same browser tab using session storage; use Clear saved details in an enquiry form to remove them. Form consent choices, identity documents and financial details are not included in this contact autofill. Advertising cookies are used only if you accept them in the cookie banner: the Meta (Facebook and Instagram) pixel and the TikTok pixel measure which of our adverts lead to visits, vehicle views, calls, WhatsApp messages and enquiries. If you accept and then send an enquiry or finance application, we also send Meta a one-way hashed (scrambled) copy of your email, telephone and name — and, for finance applications, your town, postcode and date of birth — so it can match the enquiry to an advert. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Basic server logs and a daily one-way hash of your connection address help prevent spam.
