Privacy Policy

This page is maintained by BOOKMYMOT.COM to explain how we handle personal data when you use bookingmymot.com to book MOT tests, manage vehicles or receive expiry reminders. BOOKMYMOT.COM is the data controller for the information you provide through this site.

Who we are

BOOKMYMOT.COM (trading as "My MOT") operates an online booking platform connecting drivers with DVSA-approved MOT testing centres in the UK. For any privacy question or request you can contact us at info@bookingmymot.com.

What we collect

• Account details — name and email address you provide when you sign up.
• Vehicle details — registration, make, model, year, MOT class and expiry date.
• Booking details — chosen garage, date and time, optional collection address and notes.
• Payment details — handled by our payment provider; we store only a reference and the amount, never your card number.
• Technical data — basic log information needed to operate the service securely.

How we use it

• To create and manage your account and bookings.
• To share booking details with the garage you choose so they can prepare for your visit.
• To send MOT expiry reminders, booking confirmations and other transactional emails.
• To process payments and prevent fraud.
• To meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

Who we share it with

We share the minimum data needed with the following categories of recipient:

• The DVSA-approved garage you book with, so they can prepare for your visit.
• Stripe, our payment provider, for processing payments, tax calculation and collection, invoicing and refund handling.
• Our hosting, database and email-delivery providers acting as our processors.
• DVLA / DVSA services, where you choose to look up a vehicle or MOT history.
• Professional advisers (legal, accounting) and authorities where required by law.

We do not sell your data and we do not share it for third-party marketing.

How long we keep it

Account and booking data is kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet tax, accounting and dispute-resolution obligations. You can request deletion at any time and we will remove data we are not legally required to keep.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask us to access, correct, delete, restrict or export your personal data, and you can object to certain processing. Email info@bookingmymot.com and we will respond within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Cookies

We use only the cookies and local storage strictly necessary to sign you in and keep your session working. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and access to it is restricted via row-level security and role-based permissions in our backend. No system is perfectly secure — please use a strong, unique password.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or an in-app notice.
