This information is anonymised and is used by us to better understand the use of our site, including the number of visitors we have, the pages viewed per session and time exposed to particular pages.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc, (hereafter referred to as “Google”). Google Analytics uses "cookies", or text files stored on your computer that permit analysis of your use of the website. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports about website activity and provide other services to the website operator related to the use of the website and internet usage.
We also use the technical extension "Google Signals", which enables cross-device tracking. This makes it possible to assign an individual website visitor to different end devices. However, this only happens if the visitor has logged in to a Google service when visiting a website and has activated the option "personalized advertising" in his Google account settings at the same time. Even then, however, no personal data or user profiles are accessible to us; they remain anonymous to us.
If you do not want "Google Signals" to be used, you can disable the "Personalized advertising" option in your Google Account preferences. Should you wish to opt out of Google Analytic tracking across all websites please visit: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available through the following link: Browser add-on for disabling Google Analytics. Please note, you may find that some parts of the site will not function properly if you refuse cookies.
Google Remarketing
From time to time, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts may use remarketing, re-engagement or similar audiences via Google Ads. Both first- and third-party data can be used for these purposes, such as, but not limited to, information shared with Nationwide Vehicle Contracts in forms and browser-based cookies, respectively. This is largely on Google Search through the use of Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSA) but could also include the Google Display Network where tailored adverts are shown to previous customers or site users as they browse other websites. All data collected and shared remains anonymous and is processed by Google, as per their data policy.
Should you wish to, you can opt out of ad personalisation using Google’s Ad Settings. Further information on ad personalisation can be found here and information on controlling your device’s ad settings can be found here.
Google Ads
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you reached our website through an ad placed on Google, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks an ad placed on Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and cannot be used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired yet, we and Google can detect that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Thus cookies cannot be used to trace Google Ads customers through the websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie serves to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customer receives the total number of users that clicked on their ad and were redirected to a site with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can decline the setting of cookies required for this – for example through the browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies or by adjusting your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com” are blocked.
Please note that you may not delete opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data recorded. If you have deleted all the cookies in your browser, you will need to reset the respective opt-out cookie.
Please read Google business safety & privacy and terms site for more information.
Statsig
To improve our website experience and ensure new features, layouts, and services deliver genuine value, we use a platform called Statsig. Its primary purpose is to run A/B testing and controlled experiments, allowing us to understand how different versions of our website perform before rolling out changes to everyone. Statsig helps us compare variations in content, design, and functionality, enabling data-driven decisions that enhance usability, performance, and relevance for all visitors.
In addition, Statsig may include session recording functionality, which allows us to review anonymised user interactions such as clicks, scrolls, and navigation paths. These session recordings help us identify usability issues and ensure our website works as intended.
When you visit our site, Statsig may collect usage data such as:
The pages you visit and how long you spend on them.
Clicks, scrolls, and general interactions with our content.
Basic browser, device, and operating system information.
A randomly assigned identifier to distinguish between different test groups.
Device and session metadata, such as your IP address and device details.
Statsig does not collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, email, or financial data) by default, and it does not use any data collected for marketing or advertising purposes. However, any additional personal data passed into Statsig to enrich experiments is entirely in your control.
Since Statsig operates through cookies and anonymous event tracking, you can disable non-essential cookies through our cookie preference manager. This will prevent Statsig from assigning you to any experiments.
For more details on how Statsig handles data, you can view their Privacy Policy.
Microsoft Clarity
We have installed a Microsoft Clarity cookie on our site. Clarity captures the interactions on our website such as how the page has rendered and what interactions users undertake such as mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, etc. By default, any sensitive content such as passwords, usernames, etc. are masked before sending to Clarity. Clarity is GDPR complaint as a data controller.
Please read Microsoft's Clarity privacy policy for more information.

How long will the data be stored for?
Where possible, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts will take steps to erase any personal data that is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it is collected or otherwise processed, or if you have withdrawn consent for its processing and retention.
As a general rule, if you enter into or took steps to enter into a contract with Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, we will store the data for period of six years for compliance with our general legal obligations and for the exercise or defence of any legal claims.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to ‘block’ or request the deletion or removal of personal data to prevent further processing. This right to erasure is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’. Specific circumstances in which you can request the deletion or removal of personal data includes:
Sharing of data with other data controllers
Here at Nationwide Vehicle Contracts we take your privacy seriously and the information we hold about you is confidential. We will only disclose it outside Nationwide Vehicle Contracts when:
In order to administer your contract, we may need to share some of your personal information with other data controllers.

These partnerships are carefully managed under strict data protection agreements to ensure your data remains secure and confidential. If you have any concerns or require more information about these AI partnerships, please contact our Data Protection Officer.
Credit reference agencies
In considering your application, we will search your record at credit reference agencies. They will add to your record details of our search and your application and this will be seen by other organisations that make similar searches. If, after acceptance, a new credit proposal is required because your approval has expired, there was an error on your original application, the finance provider asks for it, or you wish to apply for finance with a new provider, another credit search may be made on your behalf.
Information held about you by the credit reference agencies may already be linked to records relating to other people with whom you have a financial association. In connection with your application you may be treated as financially linked with them and assessed with reference to any such associated records. Searches may also be made in respect of directors and partners of firms applying for credit.
If you are a joint applicant or if you have told us of some other financial association with another person, or a director of a firm which is applying for a facility you are declaring that you are entitled to:
The credit reference agency will use a credit scoring system when assessing your application. They will also add to your record details of your agreement with us, specifically the payments you make under it, any default or failure to keep to its terms and any change of address you fail to tell us about where a repayment is overdue.
These records will be shared with other organisations and will be used by us and them to help make decisions about credit and credit related services such as insurance for you and members of your household, trace debtors, recover debt and to manage your accounts. We and the credit reference agencies will also use the records for statistical analysis about credit.
You have a legal right to know the details of credit reference and fraud prevention agencies we use and to whom we pass information about you. To obtain this information, please contact our Data Protection Officer on 0345 811 9595.

In addition, law enforcement agencies may access and use this information.
Protecting your privacy
In order to protect the personal data collected from you by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or the access of unauthorised persons, technical and organisational security measures are constantly improved as part of our technological development. In addition, our employees, subcontractors and other support staff are obligated to observe confidentiality and data privacy.
Any access to your data that is stored at our company only takes place through an encrypted connection. By using the most up-to-date firewall systems, we provide the best possible protection for your data. Our website, as well as our internal Customer Management System (CMS) is encrypted using a SSL/TSL (Secure Sockets Layer/ Transport Layer Security) connection.

Breaches

Subject Access Requests
