Depending on your request, we may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, postcode, vehicle registration, vehicle make and model, engine details and the type of service you require.

We do not process payments through our quote request form and you should not submit payment-card or bank account details through that form.

How we use your personal information

We may use your information to:

Process and manage your engine quote request
Match your request with potentially relevant suppliers or service providers
Allow suppliers to contact you about the quote you requested
Send service messages relating to your request
Maintain, secure and improve our website and services
Respond to questions, complaints and data-rights requests

Why we process your personal information

The legal basis relied upon will depend on the processing activity. This may include taking steps requested by you before entering a contract, consent, legitimate interests or compliance with a legal obligation.

The legal basis for each processing activity should be verified and documented before this section is published.

Who we share personal information with

To process your quote request, we may share relevant details with participating engine suppliers, garages, fitting centres or other service providers that may be able to respond to your request.

We may also share information with technology providers, professional advisers, regulators, law enforcement agencies or other parties where required or permitted by law.

A supplier that receives your information may process it under its own privacy notice. You should review the supplier’s terms and privacy information before purchasing a product or entering a service contract.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, preferences or advertising. Where required, non-essential technologies will only be activated after the appropriate user choice has been recorded.

Please refer to our Cookie Policy and cookie preference controls for current details about the technologies used on this website.

Advertising and analytics

If analytics or advertising services are used, this section should identify the relevant providers, explain the technologies involved, describe the purposes of processing and provide applicable preference or opt-out controls.

Remove this section if no advertising or analytics services are active. Do not mention Google services unless their use has been verified.

How we protect your information

We use appropriate organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should only submit information that is necessary for your quote request.

Your communication preferences

You may contact us if you no longer wish to receive optional communications. Service communications required to process an active quote request may be treated separately from marketing communications.

Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability. You may also be able to withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing.

To submit a request, email: gdprcomplaints@engines4sale.co.uk

You may also have the right to raise a concern with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

How long we retain personal information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including processing quote requests, managing complaints and meeting applicable legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Insert the verified retention period for quote data, supplier records, communications, analytics records and backups. Avoid using one retention period for every category unless it accurately reflects your systems.
