Our website is powered by G Forces Web Management Limited (“GForces”), our third-party web services provider. GForces is committed to ensuring that data is processed in accordance with applicable data privacy laws and is kept secure. GForces is certified to the standard of ISO27001 (an international standard for information security). GForces uses Amazon Web Services, Inc. as its cloud platform provider. All data processed by GForces is stored on Amazon’s web servers in the EEA. GForces' wholly owned overseas subsidiaries sometimes need to access Personal Data in order to provide certain support and development services on behalf of GForces. Please see GForces’ privacy policy at https://www.gforces.co.uk/privacy-policy/ for more details on its overseas subsidiaries and the protections in place.
When someone visits our website, GForces collects standard internet log information (your IP address, browser, and type of device) and details of visitor behaviour patterns (where you joined our site from, the path you take through our site, the searches you conduct and where you leave). These are stored against unique ids (which are strings of numbers). GForces collects this information for the legitimate business purpose of monitoring the number of visitors to the various parts of the site, the general geographic location of visitors and engagement levels, which in turn enables it to make improvements to its websites and services and provide business intelligence. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. It is kept indefinitely if you visit our website.
If you conduct a vehicle search on our website, GForces deposits a record of the search on your device. If you visit our website again, GForces accesses that record and offers you the option to replicate your previous search to save you time repeating it. It also uses that record to present recommended alternatives to the vehicles you previously viewed. In order to do this, GForces sends details of your previously viewed vehicles (without any personal information) to Amazon Web Services, which produces the recommendations using machine learning. If you don’t want search records to remain on your device, you can clear local storage in your browser. Most web browsers allow some control of cookies through the browser settings.
