Privacy & Cookies

Last updated 4 October 2026

Who we are

This website is run by Ace Motor Sales, 4 Westgate, Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, WF16 0EH. We are the data controller for personal information collected through this site. You can contact us about privacy at acemotorslimited@hotmail.com or on 07809 107655.

Enquiry form

When you send an enquiry we collect your name, email address, phone number and message. We use them only to reply to you and, if you go on to buy, to handle that sale. Our lawful basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, and our legitimate interest in answering customer questions.

Messages are delivered to our inbox by EmailJS, an email delivery service. We don't use your details for marketing unless you ask us to, and we don't sell them to anyone.

AI chat assistant

Our chat assistant, AMS, is powered by Google's Gemini AI. It only starts once you agree. What you type, along with the earlier messages in that conversation, is sent to Google to generate a reply. We don't store chat conversations on our own systems.

Please don't share personal details such as your address, registration number or bank information in the chat. AMS gives general guidance only and can make mistakes, so always confirm anything important with our team.

Cookies and similar technologies

We keep these to a minimum:

  • Essentials (always on). Your cookie choices are saved in your browser's local storage so we don't ask again. Staff who sign in to our stock dashboard get a sign-in cookie.
  • Visitor statistics. We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to count visits and check page speed. They don't use cookies and don't identify you.
  • Google Maps (optional). Our interactive map only loads if you allow it. Google may then set its own cookies, covered by Google's privacy policy (opens in a new tab).
  • AI chat (optional). See the section above.

You can change your choices at any time.

Who we share information with

Only the service providers that run this website for us: Vercel (hosting and anonymous statistics), EmailJS (enquiry delivery) and Google (maps and the AI assistant, if you turn them on). Some of these providers may process data outside the UK under recognised safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for as long as we need them to deal with your request. If you buy a car from us, we keep sale records for as long as the law requires, such as for tax and consumer-rights purposes.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Contact us using the details above. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (opens in a new tab).
