Privacy — The Vintage Motor Society

What we collect

Applying to join: your name and email, and either your car's details, story and photos, or where to find you online, with why you'd like to join.
Listing a car: your name, email and (optionally) phone, and the car's details, price, city, photos and (optionally) its VIN.
Partner enquiries: your name, email, phone, website or social media (optional), and your message.
Contact us: your name, email and message.
Your account: your profile, your listings, and your email choices; for members, your cars and the service records you keep for them.
Payments, when fees apply, are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.

To review applications, listings and enquiries (each is read by hand), to run your account, and to reply to you.
To send the emails you'd expect: sign-in codes, account and listing updates, buyers' enquiries about your car, and, for members who choose them, new cars for sale.
We don't sell your information, and we don't use it for advertising.

Cars for sale shows a car's details, photos, price and city: never the seller's name, email, phone, VIN or exact location. Buyers' enquiries reach the seller by email.
In the register, a member's car shows only its photo and model name, and only if the member chooses; otherwise it's private.
A Trade Partner's collection link shows their business name and the cars they offer.
Social media: only cars whose sellers agreed, with the photos they chose, and never their contact details or location.

Supabase (database, sign-in and photo storage), Vercel (hosting), Resend (email), Cloudflare Turnstile (keeping spam off our forms) and Stripe (payments, when fees apply). Each handles your information only to provide its service to us.

You can delete your account at any time from its settings: your profile, cars and service records are deleted, and your listings are taken down.
A seller's account that goes six months without a car listed or a sign-in is emailed, then deleted 30 days later unless they sign in.
When a car changes hands within the Society, a record of the handover (the owner's name and the date) stays with the car.
To ask for a copy of your information, or for it to be deleted, write to us through Contact us.

Every account signs in with a password and a code sent to its email. Photos and records are stored securely, and only you and the register office can see what's private to you.

Questions about your information? Contact us. The terms of using the Society are in the Terms of Service.

This statement has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer, and will be checked professionally before money changes hands through the Society.
