Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2 October 2026

At Vestige Motorcars (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website https://vestigemotorcars.com (the “Site”).

This policy is designed to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) (PDPO). For these regulations, we act as the “Data Controller” (UK) / “Data User” (Hong Kong).

1. Information We Collect

We practice data minimisation. We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide when filling out our Elementor contact, sourcing, consignment, or shipping inquiry forms. This may include:

• Full name
• Email address and phone number
• Vehicle details (make, model, year, UK registration mark/VIN, condition, etc.)
• Regional intent (e.g., origin and destination details for international shipping)
• Any custom message notes you include in your submission

2. Legal Basis and Purpose of Collection

We collect and use your data strictly to fulfill your requested vehicle services:

• For UK Users (Under UK GDPR): We process your data based on Legitimate Interests (responding to your direct vehicle inquiries) and Contractual Necessity (taking structural steps at your request prior to entering a formal shipping or sourcing contract).
• For Hong Kong Users (Under PDPO): This section serves as your Personal Information Collection Statement (PICS). Your data is collected directly to assess, quote, and communicate regarding your vehicle requirements.

3. Data Restrictions (What We Do Not Do)

• No Financial Transactions: We do not collect credit card numbers, bank details, or payment data via the Site.
• No Marketing Exploitation: We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
• No Public Exposure: The Site does not feature user comments or forums; your submission is entirely confidential.

4. Cross-Border Data Transfers & Sharing

Because we operate across the UK and Hong Kong, your inquiry details may be transferred between our operators or shared with trusted third-party international service providers (such as freight forwarders, shipping lines, customs brokers, or transport carriers) solely to construct your quote. We ensure all data transfers remain confidential and secure. We may also disclose data to public bodies (e.g., HMRC, DVLA, or Hong Kong Customs) if legally mandated.

5. Data Retention & Elementor Database Security

Your data is transmitted securely over an encrypted SSL connection. Form entries are stored securely within our local administrative website database and our mail routing systems. We delete old form entry logs on a regular schedule once your vehicle inquiry is resolved or a formal contract is executed elsewhere.

6. Your Legal Rights

Depending on your location, you have the following data rights:

• UK Residents: You have the right to access, correct, or erase your data, and the right to object to or restrict processing. You may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) (www.ico.org.uk).
• Hong Kong Residents: You have the statutory right under the PDPO to check whether we hold your data, access a copy, and request corrections.

To exercise these rights, email us at the contact address listed below.
