Privacy notice

For access, correction, or removal, email hello@vehicletrim.co.uk.

What we collect

From a trimmer adding or claiming a listing: business name, contact name, email, phone, town or postcode, workshop or mobile coverage, services, vehicle types, and any website, specialisms, description, logo or photos they choose to send.

From a visitor enquiry: their name, email and message, and the listing or path the message is about.

We also store the technical minimum to run the site: a rate-limit record of the network address, and an admin session cookie if the operator signs in.

Why, and the lawful basis

Listing details are used to publish the directory entry and to send enquiries to that business. The lawful basis is consent, given by the checkbox on the form. You can withdraw it by removing the listing.

Passing on an enquiry is in our legitimate interests, and the visitor’s: they asked us to send that message to the business they chose. Phone numbers and emails of listed businesses are not published.

We email the operator when a listing, claim or enquiry arrives, and we email the trimmer a confirmation. That is part of providing the directory.

Who sees it

Public pages show the business name, town, services, vehicle types, description, website and photos. They do not show the phone number or the email.

An enquiry is emailed to the listed business, and the operator is copied. The host (Vercel), the database (Neon Postgres) and the email provider (Resend) process the data on our instructions. We do not sell the list.

How long we keep it

A published listing is kept while it is live. After removal, contact details are deleted within 30 days. Enquiry messages are kept for 24 months, then deleted. Rate-limit rows are operational and short-lived.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy, a correction, deletion, or a restriction, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Removal of a listing is one click in the confirmation email, or one email to hello@vehicletrim.co.uk. See also the terms.
