Facebook, Twitter and other social networks These services provide social buttons and similar features which we use on our website – such as the "Like" and "Tweet" buttons. To do so we embed code that they provide and we do not control ourselves. To function their buttons generally know if you're logged in; for example Facebook use this to say `x of your friends like this`. We do not have any access to that information, nor can we control how those networks use it. Social networks therefore could know that you are viewing this website, if you use their services (that isn't to say they do, but their policies may change). As our website is remarkably inoffensive we imagine this is not a concern for most users.

How long do we retain your information?
Our website has automated features which ensure that no personally identifiable information is retained for any longer than is strictly necessary.

For information held because you have ordered from us, the period is 366 weeks after which time your personal information is removed from the order record within our website. Our internal system will store personal details for vehicle orders with no expiry date, this is to enable us to contact you with maintenance reminders or vehicle recalls.

If you apply for finance through our website, but the transaction does not complete for whatever reason, your personal information is automatically removed from the order record after 8 weeks.

If you commence but do not fully complete an order with us, some of your information may have been captured, however your personal information is automatically removed from the abandoned order record after 4 weeks.

If you have requested a stock alert from our website, your information is retained until the item comes back into stock, or 52 weeks, whichever is the soonest. You are required to confirm all stock alert requests, with unconfirmed requests being removed after a period of 48 hours.

If you have a customer rewards account, it will remain active unless you request us to remove it. If you decide to have your account removed, any points balance will be lost.
