PRIVACY POLICY
Your Privacy at Salvage Jungle
This Privacy Policy explains how Salvage Jungle collects, uses and protects personal information when you use our website and services.
Last updated: 5 October 2026
Privacy at a Glance
We use personal information to operate accounts and listings, enable marketplace communications, administer paid website services, protect the platform and meet legal obligations. Optional cookies and integrations should only operate in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
1. Who We Are
Salvage Jungle operates an online marketplace for advertising and discovering salvage, damaged and repairable vehicles in the UK. References to “Salvage Jungle”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the operator of the Salvage Jungle website and services. Privacy enquiries can be made through the Contact Us page.
2. Information We May Collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, account and seller-profile information; vehicle listing details, photographs, registration-related information and postcode/location; enquiries and communications; listing-fee or subscription transaction information; IP address, browser/device and security-log information; and saved-search or notification preferences where those features are enabled.
3. How We Collect Information
We collect information you provide when registering, creating or managing a listing, contacting us or another user, purchasing a listing service, joining a subscription, managing preferences or otherwise using the website. Technical information may also be collected through server logs, cookies and similar technologies.
4. How We Use Personal Information
We may use information to create and manage accounts; publish and manage vehicle adverts; enable buyer/seller communications; administer listing-fee purchases and enabled subscriptions; provide requested saved searches or alerts where available; answer support requests; prevent fraud, spam and misuse; maintain and improve the website; comply with legal obligations; and send permitted service or marketing communications.
5. Lawful Bases for Processing
Under UK data-protection law, processing may be based on performance of a contract or steps requested before a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the marketplace, or consent where consent is required. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
6. Vehicle Listings & Public Information
Information included in a public vehicle advert may be visible to website visitors. Sellers should avoid including unnecessary personal or sensitive information in descriptions, photographs or public fields. Sellers are responsible for ensuring uploaded content does not unlawfully disclose another person’s personal information.
7. Buyer Enquiries & Direct Transactions
Salvage Jungle connects buyers and sellers, while vehicle transactions are arranged directly between them. When you contact another user, information necessary for the enquiry may be provided to the recipient. Do not send passwords, banking credentials or unnecessary identity documents through ordinary listing enquiries.
8. Payments & WooCommerce
Website listing fees and other purchases may be administered through WooCommerce and the payment provider selected for the website. We may receive transaction information required to confirm and administer a purchase. Payment-card information may be handled directly by the relevant payment provider, which may process data under its own privacy terms.
9. Priority Buyer Club
If Priority Buyer Club is enabled and you join, we may process account, subscription, billing-status and preference information needed to administer membership. Where saved searches, alerts, early-access controls or vehicle-history features are enabled, we may process information required to provide those features.
10. Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies and similar technologies may support login sessions, security, preferences, shopping/checkout and website measurement. Strictly necessary cookies may be used where required for the website to function. Optional analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies should be used in accordance with applicable consent requirements. Where cookie controls are available, you can use them to manage optional categories.
11. Analytics, Maps & reCAPTCHA
Where enabled, third-party services may be used for analytics, maps, spam prevention or security. Google Maps may process location-related or technical information when map features are used, and Google reCAPTCHA may process technical information to help detect automated or abusive activity. These integrations apply only where actually enabled and may be subject to the provider’s privacy terms.
12. Email & Service Communications
We may send service emails relating to registration, email confirmation, listings, enquiries, purchases, subscriptions, security or important service changes. Marketing communications will only be sent where there is an appropriate lawful basis and, where applicable, will provide an unsubscribe option.
13. Who We May Share Information With
We may share information where reasonably necessary with service providers supporting hosting, email, security, payments, ecommerce, analytics, mapping or technical operations, and where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users or the service. We do not sell personal information to advertisers.
14. International Transfers
Some technology providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism or other permitted protection should be used.
15. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and meeting legal, tax or accounting obligations. Data may be deleted or anonymised when no longer required, subject to lawful retention needs.
16. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, loss or misuse. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Users should protect their login credentials and contact us if they believe an account has been compromised.
17. Your UK Data Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability or to object to certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Rights can be subject to legal conditions and exemptions, and we may need to verify your identity.
18. Complaints
If you have a privacy concern, please contact Salvage Jungle first so we can try to resolve it. You may also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) about how personal information has been handled.
19. Children's Privacy
Salvage Jungle is not intended for children to independently enter vehicle transactions or purchase paid marketplace services. We do not knowingly design those services to collect children’s personal information for those purposes.
20. Third-Party Links
The website may link to independent third-party websites or services. Salvage Jungle is not responsible for their privacy practices, and you should review their privacy information before providing personal data.
21. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, legal requirements or our data practices change. The current version will be published on this page with an updated date where appropriate.
22. Contact Us About Privacy
To ask a privacy question or exercise a data-protection right, contact Salvage Jungle through the Contact Us page. The operator’s confirmed legal name, appropriate postal address and privacy contact details should be added before launch.
