Privacy Policy
Last updated · 18 July 2026
This website, centralmotorgroup.com, is operated by Central Motor Group Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”), an independent used-car dealer. We are the data controller for the personal information you provide through this website, and we’re responsible for how it’s collected and used. This policy is governed by UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
1. Who we are
Central Motor Group Ltd, registered in England & Wales, Company No. 16845757. Unit 2, Old Barn Farm, Rosliston Road, Walton-on-Trent, Swadlincote, Derbyshire DE12 8LR. Phone 07496 676074. Email Sales@centralmotorgroup.com.
2. The information we collect
When you send a vehicle enquiry or contact us: your name, phone number, email (if provided), your message and the vehicle concerned.
When you ask us to value or buy your car: your contact details and details of your vehicle (registration, make, model, mileage, condition) that you choose to provide.
Automatically: basic technical information (IP address, browser type, pages viewed) collected by our hosting provider to keep the site secure and working — not used to identify you personally.
We do not take payments through this website, do not require you to create an account, and do not knowingly collect information from children.
3. How your enquiry is sent
Our enquiry and valuation forms are designed to open WhatsApp with your message ready to send to us. Your message is sent through WhatsApp and handled in line with WhatsApp’s / Meta’s privacy terms as well as ours. If you’d rather not use WhatsApp, you can call us on 07496 676074 or email Sales@centralmotorgroup.com instead.
4. Why we use your information
To respond to your enquiry and answer questions about a vehicle; provide a valuation you’ve asked for; arrange a viewing, hold a vehicle or complete a sale; arrange warranty cover through Warrantywise if you buy a car; keep the website secure; and keep records we’re legally required to keep.
Our lawful bases are: taking steps at your request before entering a contract, performing our contract with you, our legitimate interests in dealing with enquiries and running a safe website, and compliance with our legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
5. Who we share it with
Warrantywise (to arrange warranty cover if you buy a car); WhatsApp / Meta (where you use the WhatsApp enquiry option); our website hosting and database providers, who process information on our behalf under our instructions; Google (our contact pages include an embedded Google Map, which may receive technical information such as your IP address and set its own cookies under Google’s terms); and professional advisers or authorities where legally required.
Some providers (such as Meta and Google) may process information outside the UK, with appropriate safeguards in place as required by UK data protection law.
6. How long we keep it
Enquiries that don’t lead to a purchase: up to 12 months, then deleted. Where you buy or sell a car: for as long as required by law (generally 6 years for tax and accounting records).
7. How we protect your information
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe, including secure, access-controlled systems and restricting who can see it. No internet transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and deal properly with any issue that arises.
8. Cookies
This website uses only a small number of cookies and similar technologies: essential / functional ones needed for the site to work and remember basic preferences (these don’t identify you); and third-party cookies set by the embedded Google Map when it loads, controlled by Google. We do not currently use advertising or tracking cookies.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. See our cookie banner to manage the embedded-map cookies.
9. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to be informed, to access your information, to rectification, to erasure, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent where we rely on it. To exercise any of these, contact Sales@centralmotorgroup.com or 07496 676074; we’ll respond within one month, free of charge.
