Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12/06/2026
1. Who We Are
MOT Compare ("we", "us") is operated by DevBoostPlugins, a trading name of Switchview Design Limited, which is the data controller for the personal data we collect through this service.
2. What Data We Collect
We may collect: email address (when you subscribe, complete checkout, use credit recovery, or contact us), transaction references from our payment provider (Paddle), an optional technical identifier stored in your browser (for example a cookie) to attach prepaid search credits to your session, IP address, usage data (which pages you visit), and cookies as described in our Cookie Policy.
If you buy prepaid credits, we process data needed to record how many searches you may run, when those entitlements expire (see our Terms — currently 30 calendar days from each grant where applicable), and to help you recover access if you change device or clear your browser.
3. How We Use It
We use your data to provide the service, process payments, record and enforce prepaid credit entitlements (including expiry), send purchase confirmations and optional recovery links to your email, improve the service, secure the platform against abuse, and comply with legal obligations. Payment processing is handled by our payment provider (Paddle); we do not store your full card details on our own servers.
4. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and to object. You may also lodge a complaint with the ICO. Contact us to exercise your rights.
5. Retention
We retain personal and transaction-related data for as long as necessary to run the service, meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements, and resolve disputes. Records of purchases and credit grants may be kept even after credits have expired or been fully used, where we have a legitimate need to do so.
