Auto Galleria ("we", "us", "our") operates the showroom, vehicle listings, blog and sell-your-car pages on this site. These pages are demonstration content used to showcase our web design work, and vehicle listings shown here may not represent real, currently available vehicles. This policy explains what personal data we collect on these pages, why, and your rights over it. Our separate web design brochure pages (the homepage and contact page) are covered by a different privacy policy.
This site is aimed at visitors in the United Kingdom and is intended to comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at info@autogalleria.co.uk.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Enquiry and sell-your-car forms: your name, email address, and optionally your phone number, a message, and vehicle details — including a UK vehicle registration number, if you use the registration lookup
- Anything you send us directly by email or WhatsApp
Information collected automatically
We keep a basic log of page visits — the page viewed, the referring page, your browser's user agent, and your IP address — so we can understand how the site is used. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers: no Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar services are set up on this site.
Vehicle registration lookups
If you enter a UK number plate to get a valuation, we send it to the DVLA's Vehicle Enquiry Service and the MOT history service to retrieve basic vehicle details (make, colour, year, fuel type, MOT status). These are UK government services and only return information about the vehicle itself, not about its keeper.
Cookies
We only set a cookie when our team logs into the site's admin area to manage listings and blog content. If you're a visitor browsing the public pages, we do not set any cookies.
How we use your information
- To respond to enquiries and sell-your-car submissions
- To arrange valuations or collections
- To keep basic records of who has contacted us
- To understand how visitors use the site, so we can improve it
Who we share it with
- The DVLA and DVSA (UK government vehicle data services), only for registration lookups you request
- Our email provider, to deliver enquiry notifications to us
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry records for as long as reasonably needed to respond to you and to keep basic business records, and delete them when they're no longer needed. If you'd like your data deleted sooner, contact us and we'll action it.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct or delete it
- Object to how we use it
- Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe we've mishandled your data
Children
This site is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
