Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2025. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use Car Affordability UK.
1. Who we are
Car Affordability UK operates this website. We provide free car affordability and finance calculators. We are not a lender or a broker. For more information, see our About page.
2. Information we collect
Our calculators run in your browser. We do not send the figures you enter (salary, deposit, etc.) to our servers. If we use analytics or similar tools, they may collect anonymised data such as pages visited and general usage to help us improve the site. Any such tools will be described here or in our cookie notice. We do not sell your personal data.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies or local storage to remember your preferences (for example your cookie consent choice) and to support how the site works. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If we use third-party services (for example analytics or embedded content), those services may set their own cookies; we will describe them in our cookie banner or in this policy. By continuing to use the site after accepting cookies, you consent to our use of cookies as described at the time.
4. Third-party links
We link to external sites (for example finance comparison or broker services). Those sites have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for how they collect or use your information. We encourage you to read their policies when you leave our site.
5. Your rights
If you are in the UK, you have rights under data protection law, including the right to know what data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted in certain cases, and to object or restrict processing. To exercise these rights or ask questions about our use of your data, please contact us using the details on our About page. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. We encourage you to check this page occasionally.
