We may collect and use the following information:

• Your name, email address, telephone number and postal address.
• Information you provide about your vehicle, engine, components or proposed work.
• Messages, photographs, documents and other files that you send to us.
• Quotations, invoices, payment records and details of work undertaken.
• Records of telephone calls, emails and other communications.
• Technical information generated when you use our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and cookie preferences.
• Marketing preferences where you choose to receive news or promotional communications from us.

Please do not send sensitive personal information through our website unless it is genuinely necessary.

We normally receive personal information directly from you when you:

• Contact us through the website, by email, telephone or social media.
• Ask us to inspect, repair, recondition or rebuild an engine or component.
• Request a quotation or purchase goods or services.
• Send us photographs, documents or attachments.
• Choose to receive marketing communications.

Some technical information is collected automatically by our website, hosting, security and analytics providers.

We use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and provide quotations.
• Assess engines, components and proposed work.
• Supply goods and services.
• Communicate with customers about ongoing work.
• Maintain job, warranty, accounting and tax records.
• Manage payments and recover money owed to us.
• Deal with complaints, disputes or legal claims.
• Maintain the security and operation of our website.
• Improve our services and understand how our website is used.
• Send marketing communications where you have chosen to receive them.

Under UK data-protection law, we must have a lawful basis for using personal information. Depending on the circumstances, we rely upon:

• Contract: when the information is needed to provide a quotation, take steps at your request or fulfil an agreement with you.
• Legal obligation: when we must keep or use information to comply with tax, accounting or other legal requirements.
• Legitimate interests: when it is reasonably necessary to operate and protect our business, respond to enquiries, maintain customer and job records, improve our services or establish and defend legal claims. We consider the effect upon your rights before relying on this basis.
• Consent: where you have actively chosen to receive marketing communications or accepted optional cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Information submitted through our website contact forms is used to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, provide a quotation or service.

If you upload photographs or other files, please ensure that you are entitled to send them and that they do not contain unnecessary personal or sensitive information.

Submitting an enquiry does not automatically subscribe you to marketing. Marketing messages will only be sent where you have made a separate choice to receive them or where another lawful basis permits us to contact you.

We do not sell or rent personal information.

Where necessary, information may be shared with trusted service providers that help us operate the business, including:

• GoDaddy, which currently provides website hosting and contact-form facilities.
• Zoho, which provides our business email service.
• Cloudflare, which provides domain, website-security and network services.
• Google, where services such as reCAPTCHA, maps or website analytics are used.
• Accountants, professional advisers and IT support providers.
• Machining, balancing, testing or other specialist subcontractors where this is necessary to provide the requested service.
• Payment providers and banks where payments are made.
• Courts, regulators, law-enforcement agencies or other authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We only provide the information reasonably needed for the relevant purpose.

Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we rely upon recognised safeguards, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections, as applicable.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary:

• Enquiries that do not result in work are normally retained for up to two years after the last contact.
• Customer, job, quotation, invoice and payment records may normally be retained for up to seven years to meet accounting, tax, warranty and legal requirements.
• Information relevant to a dispute or legal claim may be retained until the matter and any applicable limitation period have ended.
• Marketing information is retained until you withdraw your consent or ask us to stop, or until it is no longer reasonably required.
• Website-security and technical records are retained according to the relevant service provider’s retention arrangements.

We may keep information for longer where required by law or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no internet or email system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please avoid sending unnecessary confidential or sensitive information through an ordinary website form or email.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• Ask for a copy of your personal information.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Ask us to delete information.
• Ask us to restrict how information is used.
• Object to certain uses of your information.
• Receive certain information in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent where we rely upon consent.
• Object to direct marketing at any time.

These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every situation. To exercise a right, contact us using the details at the beginning of this notice. We may need to confirm your identity before responding.

You will not normally be charged for exercising your rights.

Please contact us first if you have concerns about how we use your personal information, so that we have an opportunity to resolve the matter.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office:
