We hold your personal information for this period to establish, bring or defend legal claims.

Save as may be otherwise required, where we have obtained your personal information following a request for information, test drive, brochure, quotation or any other information on any of our products or services, we hold your personal information for 1 year after the last contact with you, unless during that period we form a relationship with you e.g. you purchase or lease a vehicle. We hold your personal information for this period to give us an opportunity to form a relationship with you.

How can I manage the information we hold about you?

Erase your information (or restrict the use of it), provided we do not have any continuing lawful reason to continue to use and process that information;
