Depending on how you use our sites, your interactions with us, and the permissions you give us, the purposes for which we use your personal information include:
Generally, we rely on your consent to process the personal information collected via our sites, so that we can provide you with the services we offer; for example, when you subscribe to receive emails from us, offer your car for sale, browse for cars or correspond with dealers via our sites. You can withdraw your consent at any time, such as by unsubscribing for our service.
We may also process your personal information where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, in order to maintain our sites and conduct our business. For example:
We love to communicate with our users and so, depending on your marketing preferences, we may use your personal information to send you marketing, including by email, SMS or post. Some of these messages may be tailored to you, based on your previous use of our sites.
If you no longer want to receive communications from us (or would like to opt back in!), you can change your preferences at any time by contacting officialstransport@gmail.com, clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any email, or visiting ‘Settings’ in your account. If you unsubscribe please note we will still contact you with transactional messages from time to time, including to send you offers from dealers in response to a request you make on the sites.
You may see adverts on our sites and also see adverts for our sites on third party websites, including on social media. These ads may be tailored to you using cookies (which track your web activity, so enable us to serve ads to users who have visited our sites) and/or similar technologies or using information that you provide to us through your online account. Where you see an ad on third party websites, our sites or social media, this may be because we have engaged the third party or social network to show ads to our users, or others who match the demographic profile of our users. In some cases, this may involve sharing your email address, postcode or other unique identifiers (such as a cookie ID) with the third party (such as Google) or social network (which includes Facebook) so that they can identify you as one of our users and serve you with an advert. If you no longer want to see tailored ads you can change your cookie settings on our website and app – please see our cookies management centre for further information about the cookies we use and how to amend your settings.
When you use our sites, we may from time to time share information about this via a unique identifier which relates to you or via sharing your hashed email address and/or user ID with certain third parties (for example car manufacturers or digital optimization providers) with whom we partner from time to time. Certain third parties will use this information to verify if you have previously consented to receive email marketing from them (or where they are otherwise legally permitted to send you marketing), and if so, so they can personalize their marketing to you accordingly. Please note that the marketing you receive from any such third parties is subject to the privacy notices and practices of the relevant third party and not LucianCars. If you have any concerns about any marketing you receive from any third party car manufacturer (or other third party advertiser), you should contact the relevant third party.
We may also share your data with brands, service providers and retailer partners who will match it with data that they receive about you from other sources for tracking, digital optimization, targeted advertising and email marketing purposes.
We use the services of Zeotap GmbH, Mehringdamm 32-34, 10961 Berlin. They provide solutions for linking data from our sites including to form pseudonymous user profiles and target group segments. The profiles and segments are used to analyse and optimise our communication and advertising activities in line with your interests on our sites and on third-party sites.

Save where the exceptions apply, the only information which they receive from us is your name and postcode, as well as any information you choose to share via our messaging tool or which you provide as part of enquiry request for a used car. On occasion we may share your email address with dealers for the purpose of confirming that a particular sale was made through the site. Where you purchase a car from a Partner we refer you to this Partner may let LucianCars know that you have purchased a car as a result of our referral (this way we can track how useful our site has been to customers);
If you want to sell your car, we’ll share the car details you’ve given us, along with an approximate location, with dealers and car buying groups when we advertise your car. If a dealer or car buying group indicates interest in making an offer for your car, we’ll give them your name, email, phone number so they can contact you as well as details about your vehicle location and postcode. Dealers and/or car buying groups are likely to call you about their offer
LucianCars works with Cox Automotive and The Car Buying Group (both of which trade under various names) and your details may be passed on to them where we believe they may wish to purchase your car. We do this to give our customers the best chance of selling any vehicle listed. They will contact you directly where they wish to make an offer for your car.
When you propose to sell your car to certain dealerships where LucianCars has in place with such dealership a document collection and checking service we will request the car service history, V5, copy driving licence, ID and finance settlement letter (if applicable) and we will also ask you to complete a form with your bank account details and ask you to confirm your address. We will pass these documents to the buying dealership in order for them to process the sale. We will ask you to complete and sign the dealership’s purchase order form or other sales document.
LucianCars may text you with details of offers where you provide your number.
With our suppliers and service providers, for example we may use a service provider from time to time to contact you via telephone to confirm whether you bought a car via our sites or to assist with the sale of your car;
With car collection companies who our dealers and partners use to collect your car when you are selling your car;
