Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 July 2026
Avonside Auto ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who we are
Avonside Auto Ltd, trading as Avonside Auto, of Brick Building R/O, 19 The Close, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV31 2BL, United Kingdom. Contact: sales@avonsideauto.co.uk.
What we collect
- Enquiry & contact form data: name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message, when you submit a form on this site.
- Usage data: if you accept optional cookies, we may collect anonymised analytics about how you use this site (pages visited, approximate location, device type).
- Sale-related data: if you purchase a vehicle from us, we collect the additional information necessary to complete the sale (e.g. address, payment reference, driving licence details where relevant) — this is handled separately from the website and covered by the paperwork you sign at the time.
Why we use it
| Purpose | Legal basis |

How long we keep it
Enquiry data is kept for as long as reasonably needed to respond to you, and no longer than 24 months unless you become a customer. Sale-related records are kept for at least 6 years to meet our accounting and consumer-protection obligations.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We may share it with: our website form-processing provider (used only to deliver your message to us by email), any finance or warranty provider you choose to engage with in connection with a purchase, and regulators or authorities where we're legally required to.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal data, and to data portability and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact sales@avonsideauto.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
