Privacy policy

Privacy information for visitors to TopBritishCars.co.uk.

This privacy policy explains how information may be handled when you visit TopBritishCars.co.uk, contact us, or follow a link to an external insurance comparison service.

Who is responsible for this website

TopBritishCars.co.uk is maintained by Prudent Plus Ltd, Booths Hall, Booths Park, Knutsford, Cheshire WA16 8GS, company number 10104295.

Prudent Plus Ltd is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under reference ZB208127.

Information created when you visit the website

Web hosting, security and server systems may process technical information when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, date and time of access, referring page and technical error information.

This information may be used to deliver the website, keep it secure, diagnose faults, prevent abuse and understand basic website performance.

Information you choose to send us

If you contact us by email, we may receive your email address and anything you include in your message. We will use that information to read and respond to your enquiry and, where necessary, keep an appropriate record of the correspondence.

Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information. In particular, do not email passwords, full payment-card details, complete insurance documents or other information that is not needed for your enquiry.

Our contact email address

Our contact email is displayed using JavaScript so that the full address is not written plainly into the HTML source. This is intended to reduce basic automated harvesting of the address.

Why we may use personal information

Depending on the circumstances, personal information may be processed because it is necessary for our legitimate interests in running, protecting and improving the website, because you have asked us to respond to you, because we need to meet a legal obligation, or because another lawful basis applies.

Insurance comparison links

Some pages contain links that take you to an insurance comparison service provided by Seopa Ltd, trading as Quotezone. When you follow one of those links, you leave TopBritishCars.co.uk and any information you then enter is handled by the comparison-service provider under its own privacy information and terms.

Prudent Plus Ltd does not operate the Quotezone quotation system and does not receive the full information you enter into that system simply because you arrived from this website.

Referral and commission information

Insurance links may contain referral identifiers. These can allow the comparison provider to recognise that a visitor arrived from TopBritishCars.co.uk and to attribute a resulting transaction or commission correctly.

Prudent Plus Ltd may receive commission if an insurance policy is bought after a referral from this site. This does not increase the premium because of the commission itself.

Cookies and similar technology

Cookies or similar browser storage may be used where needed for the operation, security or measurement of the website and for referral tracking. If non-essential cookies or similar technology are used in a way that requires consent, they should not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.

You can also use your browser settings to delete or block cookies, although doing so can affect how some websites work.

Analytics

If analytics are used, they may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device type and how visitors move through the site. Analytics should be configured and used in accordance with applicable UK privacy and cookie requirements.

Who may receive information

Information may be processed by service providers that help us host, secure, maintain or measure the website. It may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect legal rights, or in connection with the operation of the business.

External websites that you choose to visit receive information according to their own systems and policies.

International transfers

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, appropriate safeguards should be used.

How long information is kept

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for security, record keeping or legal requirements. Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures should be used to protect information, but no website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your UK data-protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to ask for access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, or transfer of information in a portable form.

Where processing depends on consent, consent can normally be withdrawn for future processing.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how personal information has been handled, please contact us first if you would like us to investigate it. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office where UK data-protection law applies.

Children

TopBritishCars.co.uk is a general motoring-information website and is not designed to collect personal information from children.

External websites

Links to other websites are provided for convenience or further information. We do not control their privacy practices, cookies, security or content. Check the privacy information on the site you choose to visit.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website, the services it uses or the law changes. The current version published on TopBritishCars.co.uk applies when you use the site.
