Privacy Policy
Winchester Motor Group is committed to protecting your privacy, and at the same time we endeavour to use any data we collect from you to provide the best possible service. This privacy policy (together with our terms of use https://www.winchestermotorgroup.co.uk/site/terms-conditions and any other documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
This site is a UK based website and takes reasonable care to comply with requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)with regard to the personal information you supply on this site.
For the purpose of the GDPR (the "Act"), the data controller is Winchester Motor Company Limited of 43 St Cross Street, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 9PU. Our nominated representative for the purpose of the Act is Leanne Hobley.
The site uses a security system that protects your information from unauthorised use. However, as no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Winchester Motor Group may occasionally modify this Privacy Policy, such variations becoming effective immediately upon posting to the website and by continuing to use the website, you will be deemed to accept any such variations.

Please note, calls into Winchester Motor Group, including all businesses linked, operate a call recording policy. All calls recorded are retained for a period of 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted from the system. Calls excluded from call recording are where customer payment details are collected over the telephone - in this instance all recording facilities are switched off and no sensitive data pertaining to bank card details retained. Call recordings can be requested as part of the normal subject data access request but may be subject to a charge, deemed reasonably fair by the Head of Business for the group.
