The use of your information for the purposes set out above is lawful because one or more of the following applies:

  • Where you have provided information to us for the purposes of requesting information or requesting that we carry out a service for you, we will proceed on the basis that you have given consent to us using the information for that purpose, based on the way that you provided the information to us. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing us at info@mototechnica.co.uk This will not affect the lawfulness of processing of your information prior to your withdrawal of consent being received and actioned. (Applies to 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6).

6) How do we protect your personal information?

We understand the importance of security of your personal information and take appropriate steps to safeguard it. 

Credit/debit card payments are processed either through secure terminals requiring your authorisation or by third-party PCI-compliant payment gateways through secure servers, and card details are securely destroyed immediately after processing. 

However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So while we strive to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you provide online and you do this at your own risk. 


7) Who has access to your information?

We always ensure only authorised persons have access to your information, which means only our staff and contractors, and everyone who has access is appropriately trained to manage your information. People who may have access to your information include:

  • Third parties who provide services for us, including other motorcycle dealerships, financial services, mailing distributors, our IT Support provider and the banks that process payments on our behalf. We select our third-party service providers with care. We provide these third parties with the information that is necessary to provide the service and we will have an agreement in place that requires them to operate with the same care over data protection as we do.
  • Analytics and search engine providers that help us to improve our website and its use.


Owing to matters such as financial or technical considerations the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), which are not subject to the same data protection regulations as apply in the UK. We meet our obligations under GDPR by ensuring that the information has equivalent protection as if it were being held within the EEA. We do this by ensuring that any third party processing your data outside the EEA either benefits from an adequacy determination for GDPR purposes and/or, where appropriate, we have entered into a Data Processing Agreement which contains model EU clauses.

We may also disclose your personal information if we are required to do so under any legal obligation and may use external data for the purposes of fraud prevention and credit risk reduction, or where doing so would not infringe your rights, but is necessary and in the public interest.

Other than this, we will not share your information with other organisations without your consent.
