Privacy Policy

Please take the time to read this Privacy Notice as it is important for you to know how we collect and use your personal information. By “personal information” we mean all information that relates to a living individual and either identifies, or may be used to identify, that individual.

Motobox UK Ltd may change portions of this Privacy Notice from time to time, so be sure to check back. If we make a change that significantly affects your rights or, to the extent we are permitted to do so, significantly changes how we use your personal information, we will notify you by way of a prominent posting on our websites, e-mail and/or postal mail prior to the change becoming effective.

Getting started

Motobox UK Ltd wants you to feel comfortable about giving us access to your personal information. Use this Privacy Notice to find out what happens to your personal information when you interact with Motobox UK Ltd and what choices you have.

This Privacy Notice covers the personal information that Motobox UK Ltd collect, use and disclose through your use of our products and services either online or offline.

MOTOBOX UK Ltd needs to collect personal information from you to sell or buy a motorcycle or provide our other services.

We collect personal information when you give it to us, such as by telephone, postal mail, email, upon completion of an application, or web form, or through your use of our website, or the use of our products and services.

Please be aware that, in certain circumstances, where you do not provide personal information which is required by us, we will not be able to provide the products and services under our contract with you or may not be able to comply with a legal obligation on us. For example, when renting, selling or buying a motorcycle with us we will require information such as your name, address, payment information and driver’s licence. If you fail to provide this information to us we may be unable to rent, sell or buy a motorcycle to you. You will be made aware if this situation arises and what the consequences of not providing the personal information will be.

Sometimes, we will combine the personal information we receive from you with other information we received from other sources and share with a third party such as:

  • to our professional advisers (for example, our auditors, legal advisers, public relations advisers and nominated adviser), but always taking safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information;
  • in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in relation to which we need to disclose your personal information to the prospective seller or buyer;
  • in the prevention or detection of crime or money laundering; or/li>
  • where we are otherwise required to do so by law if you are involved in an accident during your rental, or suffer any loss, damage or theft of the motorcycle, or if you incur any speeding, parking, toll or other traffic-related fines or commit any traffic offences during your rental or sale.

We may also transfer or assign your personal information to third parties as a result of, or in connection with a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of assets, bankruptcy, reorganisation, or liquidation. Or if we are involved in defending a legal claim, information about you that is relevant to such claim may be disclosed to third parties as a result of, or in connection with, associated legal proceedings.

Selling/Buying of a Motorcycle

What information do we collect about you?

When you sell or buy a motorcycle we collect information to provide you with our great services (for example, renting a motorcycle, including performing the motorcycle rental contract as set out in our Terms and Conditions of Rental, providing any requested optional extras, taking payment, pre-authorisations and security deposits and providing discounts and offers or other benefits) and for our legitimate business interests (for example research and development of new products and services, undertaking fraud and security checks and enforcing our legal rights). The information we collect includes:

  • Name;
  • Email address (if you are booking online or wish to receive e-receipts);
  • Home address (for licence validation and billing);
  • Employer details and business address (if you are a member of a corporate program);
  • Telephone numbers at which we can reach you;
  • Date of birth (for licence validation and legal requirements);
  • Gender (for licence validation);
  • Payment information such as your credit or debit card details (security code is obtained for transaction only – we do not keep it);
  • Tax number (if specifically requested);
  • Information from drivers licence and/or other government issued identification, including if you are an additional driver for the specific rental (for licence validation and legal requirements);
  • Information from another form of identification documentation such as passport or national identity card if your driving licence does not include a photo or is not recognisable as you and/or proof of address such as a utility bill (for security and anti-fraud purposes). The information we collect and retain will only include your photo ID where you are informed of this;
  • Special requests and preferences, including:
    • your preferences regarding optional extras such as damage waivers and other protections;
    • where a delivery or collection service is available, the address where we will drop off or pick-up the motorcycle and any optional extras you requested; and
