Collecting Personal Information

Devonshire Motors collects personal information when you make an enquiry or place an order for vehicles, parts or services. We will use this information to provide the products or services requested, maintain warranty and service records and, if you agree, to tell you about other products and services we think may be of interest to you.

If you are taking out finance with your vehicle purchase the information you provide for the finance proposal will be disclosed to lenders for the purposes of considering your credit application.

Lenders will cross check this information with other lenders to help prevent fraud. In order to prevent and detect fraud we may at any time share information about you with other organisations and public bodies, check and/or file your details with fraud prevention agencies and databases and, if you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we will record this. We and other organisations may also search agencies and databases to check your identity to prevent money laundering, unless you furnish us with other satisfactory proof of identity.
