YOUR PRIVACY
A personal service. Clear choices.
This notice explains how Classic Machines uses information when you browse, enquire about a car, request a search or ask us to help sell your car.
Your enquiries
When you submit a form, we store the details you provide, including your name, phone number, message and relevant car requirements, so our team can respond and manage your enquiry. Buyer, seller and sourcing enquiries are handled in our customer management system.
Browsing preferences
Saved cars, filters and browsing preferences help you pick up where you left off. They stay in this browser session by default. If you enable Aria’s 30-day memory, supported preferences are retained on this browser for up to 30 days. You can clear browsing preferences or switch memory off at any time.
WhatsApp conversations
A WhatsApp button opens a prepared message to Classic Machines. You can review or change it before pressing Send. Clicking the button alone does not send a WhatsApp message. Relevant car details, your search reference or conversation context may be included in the prepared message. WhatsApp operates under its own privacy terms.
Aria’s AI replies
Aria first uses the current car collection and our published guidance. To provide a fuller response, your question and recent conversation context may be processed through OpenRouter and a model provider. Contact details matching email and phone formats are removed before that request. Avoid sharing identity documents, payment details or other sensitive information in chat. Aria does not book, buy, sell or send messages on your behalf.
Aria security and usage
A signed, essential cookie lasts up to 24 hours to limit automated abuse and AI spending. We store pseudonymous visitor and network identifiers, routing outcomes, response times, token usage and provider costs for up to 35 days. This usage meter does not store your chat text or raw IP address. WhatsApp briefs are separately retained for up to seven days to help continue your enquiry.
Website services
We use hosting, database and website analytics services to operate the site, store enquiries and understand how pages and features are used. Our custom analytics events exclude names, phone numbers, message contents and search text. Authorised team members and service providers may process information needed to provide these services.
Your choices and requests
You can ask our team to correct your enquiry details, stop follow-up or review a request to delete your information. Contact us using the details on our Contact page and tell us the phone number associated with your enquiry. Any records needed for an ongoing transaction or applicable record-keeping obligations will be discussed with you.
