USE OF INFORMATION

General

www.myquadbike.com is a part of My Quad Bike Ltd, and information supplied in this site may be shared with other companies. When you register with our site, we ask you whether you would like to receive our email newsletters detailing changes to the site, offers and services from third party companies via email, SMS and/or via post that we feel may be of interest to you. You have the ability to opt-out of receiving all or any of these offers during registration.

We have taken measures to ensure that information supplied to us is held securely. As a consequence - we may occasionally request proof of identity before allowing access to your personal information.

You have the right to access all personal information supplied to My Quad Bike and rectify any inaccuracies on the information held (a charge of £10 may be administered).

Amendments and Updates to this policy may be made from time to time. Any revisions will be posted on this page so you will always be aware of what information we collect.

Online Advertisements

Telephone numbers will not be published within the listing. An email addresse supplied as part of a vehicle advertisement will be published alongside an SMS communication number within the relevant advertisement for the duration of the booking, to enable a potential buyer to contact the seller by either email, or by using the SMS communication number to request further contact details. The postcode is collected in order to provide a positioning on each vehicle within our database, thereby enabling potential buyers to locate vehicles for sale within a set radius of their chosen location.

Credit card information is used solely for the purpose of payment processing. My Quad Bike retains no record of credit card details.

All details supplied to My Quad Bike with your on-line advertisement will be safeguarded both by our privacy policy and also by the 1998 Data Protection Act. We will only ever pass your personal details to third parties to enable fulfilment of the advertising package which you have selected. Where advertising packages include additional benefits your agreement to these terms and conditions includes consent for your data to be used by others to provide those benefits, subject always to your being offered the opportunity to opt out of those benefits upon receipt.

Vehicle Searches

Postcodes and vehicle information are collected in order to provide a relevant match of vehicles against a specified search. The inclusion of the postcode enables us to provide the potential buyer with a range of vehicles within a chosen locality, rather than vehicles randomly spread throughout the country.

Registration

Email addresses are collected in order to send registrants their chosen password, providing them with online access to their registration details (available within the MyListing listings section on the website). The user can access this information at any time in order to update their details or change the option on whether they would like to receive communication from My Quad Bike Ltd or selected third parties. Other registration information is collected in order:

1. To generate an overall audience profile of visitors using the My Quad Bike web site. This information is then used to assist in developing relevant content on the site as well as ensuring that automotive trade advertisers looking to reach specific audience groups are encouraged to place their stock or promotions on the site.
2. To provide our web site visitors with the option to receive My Quad Bike News Bulletins, as well as the option to receive email and postal offers from selected third party companies that My Quad Bike believes may be of interest to them. If a visitor has supplied insurance renewal date information it provides My Quad Bike with the potential to better target that visitor with relevant and timely consumer offers by email or post, providing that visitor has opted to receive notification on such offers.
3. To support our E-alerts functionality - whereby visitors to our site can store settings on vehicle searches and/or set up alerts to be notified (by email or SMS) - when a specified vehicle appears for sale on the My Quad Bike web site. Unless a visitor supplies their email address and mobile phone number, we are unable to send such alerts.
4. To limit access to the full range of fields within the search form in order to maintain an overall faster search facility. By providing limited access to all our search fields, notably free text entry boxes, we are able to limit the impact on the performance of our search engine during periods of intense user activity. Whilst all users gain unhindered access to the key database fields, (such as Make and Model) fields that generate more intensive database processing (such as free text fields), are limited to those users who register.
5. To support our SMS' functionality - whereby visitors to our site can be sent details of vehicles for sale to mobile phones.
