What we collect When you join: your name, email address, password (stored scrambled, never readable), area and town, and the languages you speak. If you choose: your phone number, profile text and social media handles. When you use the site: your posts, photos, comments, likes, saved items, follows, messages, alerts and reports. Basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, kept in server logs.

Why we use it To run your account and the site, and to show your posts and messages to other members (this is needed to provide the service). To keep the site safe: preventing fraud, spam and abuse, and dealing with reports (our legitimate interests and legal duties). To send you Love Motors news and vehicle alerts by email, only if you ticked the box to agree (consent, which you can withdraw at any time). To understand how the site is used and improve it (legitimate interests).

Who we share it with Other members see what you post publicly, your profile and the languages you speak. Your email address is never shown. Our hosting provider (Hostinger) stores the site and its data for us. If you click Translate, the text is sent to Google Translate. If we turn on Google Analytics or Google adverts, Google will process data under its own terms, and we will ask for your consent first where the law requires. We may share information with the police or regulators where the law requires, or to prevent fraud. We never sell your personal data.

How long we keep it While your account is open. If you close your account we delete your profile and posts within 30 days, except where we must keep records for legal reasons or to deal with a report or dispute (normally up to 2 years). Server logs are kept for a short period for security.

Cookies We use a small number of cookies to keep you signed in, remember your language and remember who invited you. These are needed for the site to work. Any analytics or advertising cookies will only be used with your consent.

Your rights You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it, or ask us to stop marketing. Email mexus.co.uk@gmail.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
