Privacy Policy

This page explains what we do with the details you give us when you ask for a clutch quote, and what you can ask us to do about it. Plain English, no small print.

Last updated: 29 July 2026

Who we are

Mobile Clutch Repair Colchester is a mobile clutch repair and clutch replacement business operating across Colchester and the surrounding Essex area. We are the data controller for the information described on this page, which means we are responsible for looking after it.

You can reach us on 07427 816536 or by email at ogautosservices@yahoo.com.

What we collect

We only collect what we need in order to quote for your job and get back to you. When you fill in the quote form on our website, we receive:

  • Your name and phone number, so we can call you back with a price.
  • Your email address, if you choose to give one. This field is optional.
  • Your vehicle registration, if you give it. We use it to look up the correct clutch kit for your car so the quote is accurate.
  • A description of the fault you are experiencing, so we know what we are coming out to.

If you call or text us instead, we will hold your phone number and whatever you tell us about the job in the normal course of running the business. We do not record phone calls.

We do not ask for and do not want any special category data, and we never ask for card or bank details through this website. Payment is taken directly, in person, once the work is finished.

Why we collect it, and our lawful basis

We use your details for one purpose: to respond to your enquiry, quote for the work, arrange a visit and carry out the repair. We do not use them for anything else.

Our lawful basis under UK GDPR is legitimate interests where you have contacted us asking for a quote, and performance of a contract once you have booked work in with us. Where we keep a record for tax or warranty purposes, our basis is legal obligation.

We do not send marketing emails, we do not run a mailing list, and we will not add you to one. If we ever wanted to, we would ask your permission first.

Who else sees it

We never sell your information, to anybody, for any reason. We do not share it with marketing companies, lead generators or data brokers.

A small number of service providers necessarily handle your data in order for our website and email to work at all:

  • Resend delivers the quote form submission to our email inbox.
  • Vercel hosts this website and provides basic, aggregated traffic analytics. These analytics count page visits and do not identify you personally.
  • Our email provider stores the enquiry in our inbox so we can read and reply to it.

We may also pass your vehicle registration to a parts supplier in order to order the correct clutch kit for your car. We share nothing else with them, and never your contact details.

If we were ever legally required to disclose information, for example to HMRC or in response to a court order, we would comply.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not use advertising cookies and does not track you around the internet. We do not run Facebook or Google advertising pixels on it.

The only measurement in place is Vercel Analytics, which counts page views and general information such as the country and device type of a visit. It does not build a profile of you and does not follow you to other websites.

How long we keep it

If you enquire and we never end up doing the work, we delete the enquiry within 12 months.

If we do carry out work for you, we keep a record of the job for 6 years. That is because we have to keep business records for tax purposes, and because it lets us honour the 12 month parts and labour warranty and look up what we fitted if you come back to us.

How we keep it safe

Enquiries are sent over an encrypted connection and stored in a password protected email account. We keep the number of people who can see your details to the smallest possible, which for a business of our size means the owner and the technician doing your job.

We are a small mobile operation rather than a large company, so we deliberately hold as little information as possible. The best protection for your data is us not collecting it in the first place.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

  • Ask what information we hold about you, and get a copy of it.
  • Have anything inaccurate corrected.
  • Ask us to delete it, where we are not legally required to keep it.
  • Object to us using it, or ask us to restrict how we use it.
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where we relied on consent.

To do any of these, just call us on 07427 816536 or email ogautosservices@yahoo.com and say what you want. There is no form to fill in and it costs you nothing. We will deal with it within one month, and in practice usually the same week.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would appreciate the chance to put it right first.

Children

Our service is aimed at vehicle owners and we do not knowingly collect information about anybody under 18. If you believe we have, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page and change the date at the top. This policy was last updated on 29 July 2026.

Questions about your data?

Ask us anything. We would far rather answer a question than have you wondering what happened to your details.
