This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our services or visit our website.

We may collect and process the following information:

• Name

This group will not be used for spam.

When you use our website or contact us online, some personal data may be processed by trusted providers acting on our behalf. These providers only process information as needed to deliver the relevant service:

• Formspree (contact-form provider) — when you submit the website enquiry form, the details you enter (such as name, phone, email, vehicle information and message) are transmitted securely to Formspree so we can receive and respond to your enquiry. Formspree processes this data on our behalf for that purpose.
• Google Analytics — if you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics may process usage information (such as pages visited, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser type) to help us understand how the website is used and improve it. Analytics tools only load after you give consent through Cookie Preferences.
• Website hosting and technical providers — our website is hosted and delivered by technical providers (including hosting and related infrastructure). They may process technical data such as IP addresses, server logs and security-related information in order to operate, secure and maintain the website.
• WhatsApp — if you choose to contact us through WhatsApp, the information you send (including your phone number and message content) is processed by Meta/WhatsApp under their terms and privacy policy, and by us so we can respond to your enquiry and arrange services.

We do not sell your personal information. Providers process data only as needed to support Harding Valeting and in line with applicable data-protection law.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Your data will only be shared if required:

• To deliver our services (including with the providers described above)

We take reasonable steps to ensure your data is secure.

Your information is stored securely and only retained for as long as necessary to provide our services or meet legal obligations.
