Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2024

Scrap Car Check ("we", "our", "us") operates scrapcarcheck.co.uk. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your information.

What information we collect

When you use our quote service, we collect the following information:

  • Your vehicle registration number (used to look up your vehicle from the DVLA API)
  • Your postcode (used to match you with local dealers)
  • Vehicle condition and collection preference (used to generate accurate quotes)

We do not collect your name, email address or phone number at the quote stage. If you proceed to book a collection, the dealer you choose will collect your contact details directly under their own privacy policy.

How we use your information

We use your vehicle registration number solely to retrieve publicly available DVLA data (make, model, fuel type) in order to provide you with an accurate quote. We share your postcode, vehicle details and condition with up to five dealers in our network so they can prepare a quote.

Cookies

We use only essential session cookies required for the site to function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete any personal data we hold. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].
