This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, contact our dispatch team, or utilize our mobile fuel drainage and roadside recovery services.

We process all personal data in strict compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

To dispatch a mobile technician to your location and resolve your vehicle emergency efficiently, we need to collect specific personal and vehicle information. This includes:

Identity and Contact Data: Your full name, telephone number, and email address.

Location Data: Your exact geographic location, such as a specific petrol station forecourt, roadside marker, street name, or residential driveway.

Vehicle Data: Your vehicle’s registration number (VRN), make, model, year, and fuel type.

Financial Data: Payment card details used to process your fixed-rate service fee. Please note: Payment details are securely processed directly by our encrypted payment gateways and are never stored on our internal servers.

2. How We Use Your Personal Data

We only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we process your information for the following reasons:

Contractual Necessity: To fulfill our contract with you (i.e., identifying your vehicle, sending our nearest technician, and executing your emergency fuel drain).

Legitimate Interests: To process secure payments, prevent fraudulent claims, manage customer accounts, and gather feedback to improve our services.

Legal Compliance: To comply with necessary accounting, taxation, and statutory obligations.

3. How We Share Your Information

Payment Processors: Secure, PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways to safely handle credit or debit card transactions.

Regulatory Authorities: Law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of our staff and customers.

4. Data Security & Storage

We have put in place robust security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed in an unauthorized way.

We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements (typically up to 6 years for financial and tax records).
