Privacy
Short version: we collect as little as we can, and we don't sell it.
Who we are
BangerWise sells a downloadable used car checklist at bangerwise.co.uk.
What we collect
This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies. When you buy, the checkout is handled by Payhip, the platform that sells and delivers the guide. Payhip and its payment processors collect your name, email address and payment details so that they can take payment and send your download. We receive your name, email address and order details. We never see your full card details.
If you email us, we keep your message so that we can reply.
Website analytics and hosting
This website is hosted by Cloudflare. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit the site and which pages they view. It does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites. Cloudflare processes technical information about your visit, such as your IP address, the page you viewed, the page that referred you and your browser type, so that it can deliver and protect the site and give us visitor totals. We do not use this information to identify you.
Email sent to [email protected] is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to a Gmail inbox provided by Google, where it is stored. Our replies are sent through Brevo's email delivery service. Cloudflare, Google and Brevo therefore process your email address and the content of your messages on our behalf.
Affiliate programme
If you join our affiliate programme, you sign up through Payhip. We hold your name, your email address and the PayPal email address you give us, so that we can run the programme and pay your commission. When someone clicks an affiliate link, Payhip sets a tracking cookie that lasts 30 days so that it can credit the sale to the right affiliate. Payhip's own privacy policy explains how it uses that cookie.
Links to MotorCheck
Some pages on this website contain affiliate links to MotorCheck, a vehicle history check provider, and each one is marked Ad. We may earn a commission if you buy a report through MotorCheck, at no extra cost to you. If you click one of these links, or use our registration form to go to MotorCheck's free car check, you leave this website. MotorCheck may then set cookies, including tracking cookies, so that it can tell a report was bought after a visit from BangerWise. The registration number you type into our form is sent straight to MotorCheck in the web address; we do not store it. MotorCheck's own privacy policy, on its website, explains how it uses cookies and your information.
Why we use it
To deliver what you bought, deal with questions and refunds, run the affiliate programme and pay commission, understand how the site is used, and keep the records the law requires.
How long we keep it
Order and commission payment records are kept for as long as UK tax rules require. Emails are deleted when they're no longer needed.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct or delete your information. Contact us via the contact page. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
