Last updated: 5 October 2026
Who we are
This website is run by E & J Stockdale Car Sales, Beverley Road, Norton, Malton, North Yorkshire, YO17 9BU. We are responsible for the personal information you give us through this website.
If you have any questions about this policy or your information, contact us by email at info@ejstockdalecars.co.uk or by phone on 01653 609182.
Information we collect
When you send us an enquiry, ask about a vehicle or a part exchange, or fill in any other form on this site, we collect the details you enter. This is usually your name, email address, phone number, details about a vehicle and your message.
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics also collects information about how you use the site, such as the pages you visit, roughly where you are and the type of device you use. This does not tell us who you are.
If you reached the site from one of our Google ads and accept advertising cookies, Google Ads records that you clicked the ad and whether you then sent an enquiry or tapped our phone number. This helps us see which ads work. It does not tell us who you are.
How we use your information
- To reply to your enquiry and give you the information you asked for.
- To arrange viewings or test drives, value a part exchange, or sell you a vehicle.
- To understand how people use the site so we can improve it (only with your consent).
- To see which of our ads lead to enquiries (only with your consent).
We use enquiry details because you have asked us to get in touch, or because it is needed before entering into a sale with you. We only use analytics and advertising cookies if you agree to them. We will not use your details for marketing without your permission, and we never sell your information.
Who we share it with
We use trusted service providers to host this website, store form submissions and send emails. They only handle your information on our behalf and must keep it secure. If you accept analytics or advertising cookies, Google receives information about your visit. Some of these providers may store information outside the UK; where they do, they use legal safeguards approved under UK data protection law.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry details only for as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry and any sale that follows, and to meet our legal and accounting obligations.
Your rights
You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to how we use it, and to withdraw your consent at any time. To do any of these, contact us using the details above.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
