MY Old Motors Privacy Policy

This is a legal document which sets out how MyOldMotors handles data which identifies you. You should read it in conjunction with the MyOldMotors Terms and Conditions, of which this Privacy Policy forms part.

At MyOldMotors, we believe strongly in protecting the privacy of our users’ personal information. This statement describes the privacy practices we apply for the MyOldMotors Service. As part of that, it also expresses our approach to complying with the data protection laws which apply in the United Kingdom. If we change this Privacy Policy, we will notify you of the changed document in the same way as we notify changes to the MyOldMotors Terms and Conditions.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should contact MyOldMotors's webmaster.

1. The information we gather and track.

Information gathered on registration. When you register on MyOldMotors, you provide your name, a password and your email address ("Registration Information"). Your name and password are capable of being changed, through the Your Details page.

Cookies. We use small files known as "cookies" to enhance users’ experience of the MyOldMotors Service as follows: To hold Members’ login information, so that your cars and the relevant options are displayed when you visit the MyOldMotors Service.

Information Automatically Logged. We only use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer this website and to enforce this agreement.

2. Sharing and use of information

The over-riding principles we apply are these:
We, and (where relevant) our credit card processing agents, will not supply your personal data to a third party for commercial exploitation – thus, you can rest assured that we will not sell the lists of our Members’ email addresses to a third party; and the only circumstances in which we will provide any of your personal data to a third party for non-commercial purposes are those contained in this Privacy Policy. Registration Information. None of the Registration Information held for a Member will be available at the listing for any car. Email addresses. We do not directly make your email address available to anyone on any screen of the MyOldMotors Service. The only legitimate way of making contact with another member found on the MyOldMotors Service is for a Full Member to enter a message which we will send on the Member’s behalf. The email sent will include the sending Full Member’s email address so that the recipient can respond to the sender directly. This means by sending a contact message, the sending Member is disclosing his/her email address. Members may not change their email address at any time. Members’ personal notes must not include their email address. If your email system automatically responds to a contact email, your email address will be revealed.

Advertising. The MyOldMotors Service may include interactive advertising for other businesses. We may use, and provide to third parties, anonymised demographic data provided by Members to target this advertising more appropriately.

Credit Card information. There has been a lot of publicity about Credit Card security on the Internet so we decided to use PayPal, who operate a secure server, to process our credit card payments. They encrypt Members’ credit or debit card information and authorise payment directly. This means that Members’ credit card details are never revealed to us. PayPal may transfer to, process and hold your credit card information in countries either within or outside the European Economic Area in connection with performing their duties.

3. Security

We have security measures in place to protect our customer database and access to this database is restricted internally. However, it remains each Member’s responsibility:

• to protect against unauthorised access to Your Details;
• to ensure against use by anyone else of the MyOldMotors Service through the machine that Member uses while they are "logged on" to the MyOldMotors Service;
• to log off or exit from the MyOldMotors Service when not using it; and
• to keep his/her password secret.

4. Opt-out policy

You may have your registration details removed at any time. To remove yourself please email the webmaster from the email address with which you signed up, explaining that you would like to be removed.

5. Disclosure for legal reasons

We reserve the right to communicate such of a Member’s personal information as we hold to third parties which seek the disclosure of it, and which make a legally-compliant request for its disclosure.

6. Contacting MyOldMotors
