Please note that telephone calls made to Ultimate Valet are NOT recorded. Emails and other messages sent through our social media accounts are archived and can be referred to in order to resolve any issues (if any) that may arise during your booking request.

Sales invoices may need to be kept for up to 7 years in order for Ultimate Valet to retrospectively provide tax information to HMRC (please see Right To Erasure).

Our Security Precautions

This website does have a security certificate which means that your information (for example, passwords or credit card numbers) is private when it is sent to this site. We currently do NOT take credit or debit card numbers through the site.

Cookies

Cookies are tiny text files in your browser that can be sent from an organisations website and saved onto your computer when you visit a website for the first time. These text files typically contain two pieces of information: a unique user ID and the site name. Each time you visit a website that holds cookies, your computer checks its system to see if it has cookies from that website already saved, therefore recognising if you have visited the website before.

Ultimate Valet does NOT use cookies to track user visits, therefore analysing data such as the numbers of returning customers, customer location (by country or region) and recording how long customers stay on our website. Cookies DO NOT identify you as an individual, but simply track your browsing patterns which helps us to target our advertisements more accurately to our customers.

The viewing of the website and browsing of the website automatically requires you to accept our Cookies policy. When you enter into a transaction with the company you automatically accept the trading terms and conditions as enclosed. You have the option within your browser to disable cookies, which you can do by following the specific browser instructions.

Requesting A Copy Of Your Personal Data

You have a right to ask Ultimate Valet for a copy of all the personal data that we hold about you, even if you do not wish to change it.

You can request this information by contacting us via email or telephone, where you will be asked to fill in our Data Request Form and return it to us. You will also be asked to provide us with a copy of your preferred proof of identification (birth certificate/driving license) before we can release the sensitive information to you.

Right To Erasure

In accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulations 2018, you have the right to request that Ultimate Valet erases all personal data that we hold on you with immediate effect. In some cases, Ultimate Valet may have to retain certain vital information if we can prove that your data is needed to carry out other vital business processes, for example, filing tax returns (where we will need to retain sales invoices).

Links To Other Websites

This website may contain links to external organisations. Please be aware that by clicking a link to an external source, our privacy policy no longer applies whilst you are on that new site. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies that our linked websites adhere to and recommend that you read the policy of that site to keep yourself informed.

Data Breaches

Ultimate Valet has a duty to report any breach of personal data from our database or our Third Party databases to all relevant people and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if it is apparent that personal data has been stolen or misused, within 72 hours of the incident.

Transfer Of Data Outside The EU

None of your personal data will be transferred outside of the EU.

Policy Review

Ultimate Valet will keep this policy up to date in accordance with the law and new regulations. This policy was last updated in December 2021.
