Privacy & Asset Data Policy
Effective Revision Date: May 21, 2026
1. Data Collection & System Architecture
At MyVehicleCheck.co.uk, we operate a secure automotive lookup framework designed to query structural background data, vehicle identifiers, and commercial financial assets. We collect information through explicit user submissions and automated lookup queries to verify a vehicle's history profile.
| Data Category | Specific Elements Collected | Primary System Function |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Logs | Full name, digital email address, and direct telephone numbers. | To establish secure accounts, process transactional payment nodes, and deliver reporting ledgers. |
| Lookup Fields | UK standard registration marks (VRN) and 17-digit chassis VIN strings. | To initiate deep-history inquiries across commercial vehicle background datasets. |
| Transaction Metrics | Tokenized billing states, subscription structures, and partial transaction IDs. | Processed exclusively via secure, PCI-DSS compliant financial entry gates (Stripe / Apple Pay). |
2. Legal Grounds for Data Processing
We process personal and asset-linked information under clear legal pillars outlined within modern digital protection frameworks:
- Contractual Execution: Running immediate asset queries, looking up finance liens, and compiling background history files requested by our users.
- Legitimate Commercial Interest: Protecting buyers from marketplace vehicle scams, identifying outstanding corporate asset loans, and maintaining overall platform infrastructure security.
- Regulatory Mandate: Adhering strictly to digital auditing codes, financial tax record tracking, and secure consumer payment logging.
3. Third-Party Commercial Registries & Data Sharing
To accurately cross-reference structural anomalies, mileage histories, and property security alerts, our search interface directly interrogates multiple premium automotive databases. Your entered registration marks are securely transmitted to these external nodes:
System Notice: We do not sell or lease consumer tracking files to marketing agencies. Data transfers are limited exclusively to matching lookup items against vehicle validation registries, commercial insurance underwriting boards, asset lending groups, and logistics management systems.
4. Data Retention & Cryptographic Security Protocols
All incoming and outgoing database connections are shielded with modern cryptographic transport envelopes (AES-256 standard encryption keys). We maintain your transactional history reports for as long as your account remains active or to fulfill tax reporting rules. Once that period ends, files are permanently stripped of personal identifiers or fully scrubbed from our systems.
5. Data Subject Rights & Regulatory Recourse
As a visitor or user of our platform, you hold specific legal protections over your information, including the right to request a full copy of your data, correct inaccuracies, or ask for your personal files to be removed from our systems.
To exercise any of these options, or to file a formal request regarding how your vehicle search queries are handled, please contact our data protection officer directly at info@myvehiclecheck.co.uk. We review and process all submitted protection requests within a 30-day window.
