Who we are
This website is run by CJ Mechanical (Nottingham) Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14173684). Our registered office is Unit 4 Oakdene Building, Grainger Street, Nottingham NG2 3GT, and our workshop is on Freeth Street, Nottingham NG2 3GT.
We're responsible for the personal information you send us through this website. If you have a question about this policy or your information, email cj-mechanical@hotmail.com or call 0115 850 1431.
What we collect
When you send an enquiry through the form on this website, we collect the details you enter:
- your name, phone number and email address, and how you'd prefer us to contact you
- your vehicle registration, manufacturer, model and year
- the service you're interested in, a preferred date, and anything you tell us about the car
The tools on our service pages, such as the service planner or the MOT checklist, only pass details into the enquiry form when you choose to continue. Nothing is sent to us until you submit the form.
The registration panel on our homepage adds your registration to the enquiry form. It doesn't look the vehicle up.
How we use it
We use your details to reply to your enquiry, talk through the work your car needs, arrange a date and, if you go ahead, carry out and record the work.
Our lawful basis is that you've asked us to respond, and that this is a step towards the work you're enquiring about. We don't use your details for marketing unless you've asked us to.
We only use Google Analytics if you accept analytics cookies. That's based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time in Cookie settings.
Who we share it with
We don't sell your personal information. We share it only where it's needed to deal with your enquiry or run this website:
- Wix hosts this website and stores the enquiries sent through our form.
- Google provides Google Analytics. It only receives information about your visit if you accept analytics cookies.
- DVSA test stations, if you ask us to arrange an MOT and they need vehicle details to book the test.
Parts of this website load content from other providers:
- Google Maps shows our location on the contact page and in the footer.
- Elfsight displays our Google reviews.
- Google Fonts provides the typefaces used on the site.
These providers may receive technical information from your browser, such as your IP address, when their content loads. Their own privacy policies explain how they use it.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry details for as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry and any work that follows, and for [CONFIRM: retention period for enquiries and customer records].
Cookies and storage
While you browse, this website keeps the details you've entered in the enquiry form, such as your registration and chosen service, in your browser's session storage. That way you don't have to type them twice. They're removed when you close the tab or send the form.
The enquiry form uses a temporary access token, stored in your browser, so it can send your enquiry to us securely.
One cookie remembers your choice about analytics cookies. Google Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them, and we don't use advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time in Cookie settings.

Wix, which hosts this website, sets a few strictly necessary cookies to keep the site secure.
The map and reviews come from Google and Elfsight, and may set their own cookies when they load. Their privacy policies explain how they use them.
