Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This policy explains how Sell My UK Car In Europe ("we", "us") collects and uses your personal data when you request a vehicle valuation or use this website, and the rights you have under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.
Who we are
We are a UK-based vehicle-buying service that purchases UK-registered cars from owners located across Europe. For data-protection purposes we are the data controller for the information you provide. You can reach us at sales@sellmyukcarineurope.com or on +44 7356 043808.
What we collect
- Contact details — your name, email address and phone number.
- Vehicle details — registration number, make, model, mileage, MOT/tax status and any information you add in the comments.
- Location — the country, city and postcode where the car is kept, and (only if you use the "locate me" button) your device's approximate coordinates.
- Photos/video — any images of the vehicle you choose to upload.
- Technical data — IP address and basic device/browser information, used for security and fraud prevention.
How and why we use it
- To prepare and provide your vehicle valuation and, if you proceed, to arrange collection and payment — this is processing necessary to take steps at your request and to perform our contract with you.
- To progress genuine purchases, your enquiry may be shared with our trusted trade partner for a competing offer — our legitimate interest in giving you the best price.
- To measure and improve the website using Google Analytics — only if you accept analytics cookies (your consent).
- To detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive submissions — our legitimate interest.
Cookies & analytics
We do not load any analytics or advertising cookies until you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. Until then, Google Analytics is disabled via Google Consent Mode. We store a single first-party cookie to remember your choice for six months. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your cookies. Essential cookies needed to run the site and keep it secure are always active.
Who we share it with
We share data only as needed to deliver the service: our vehicle-transport and payment providers, our trade purchasing partner, our email/hosting providers, and Google Analytics (with your consent). We never sell your personal data.
International transfers
As we buy UK-registered cars from across Europe, your data may be transferred between the country where your vehicle is located and the UK. Where data leaves the UK/EEA it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry data only as long as necessary to deal with your request and to meet legal, accounting and fraud-prevention obligations, after which it is securely deleted. If your enquiry does not lead to a sale, we retain it for a limited period and then remove it.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict our use of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email sales@sellmyukcarineurope.com. You also have the right to complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or your local EU data-protection authority.
