Vehicle Data And Providers

Vehicle reports may combine user-entered information with data from government, vehicle-history, valuation and market-evidence providers. Provider availability can vary by vehicle and package.

Vehicle data providers, including DVLA, DVSA MOT History, UKVD, VDICheck and other vehicle-history or valuation providers where used by the report.
Stripe for payment processing and checkout confirmation.
Supabase for authentication, database storage and account-related services.
Hosting, infrastructure, analytics and monitoring services used to operate and secure the web app.

Payments, Cookies And Local Storage

Premium report purchases are processed through Stripe. Carlarity stores the information needed to confirm payment status and report access, but does not receive or store full payment card details.

Carlarity uses local browser storage for features such as device-based Premium access, saved report state and Garage behaviour. Cookies or similar storage may also be used for authentication, security and product reliability.

Retention, Security And Transfers

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it is held. Carlarity keeps information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain purchase records, support users, prevent misuse and meet legal obligations.

Carlarity uses technical and organisational safeguards appropriate for a digital service, but no internet service can be guaranteed risk-free. Some service providers may process data outside the UK; where relevant, Carlarity relies on appropriate safeguards used by those providers.

Your Rights

Access the personal information held about you.
Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected.
Ask for deletion or restriction where applicable.
Object to certain processing or ask for a copy of your data where applicable.
Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data rights have not been handled properly.

Children, Changes And Contact

Carlarity is not intended for children. This policy may be updated as the product, providers or legal requirements change.
