Privacy

The short version

We don't want your data. We know your car as Penelope, and that's all we'll ever know.

The website

• No accounts. You can read everything, use the calculator and browse the Diary without telling us anything.
• The Despatch (newsletter):if you subscribe, we keep your email address for one purpose - sending you The Despatch. It is never sold, shared or used for anything else, and every edition includes a way out. Email us and it's deleted, same day.
• Suggesting an event: a name or email is optional and used only to ask about your event. Never added to any list.
• No advertising trackers. Any sponsors we ever feature are shown to everyone alike, not targeted at you.

The Royal Garage app

• Everything stays on your iPhone. Your cars, pet names, costs, values, dreams and mantras live on your device and nowhere else. We run no servers for them and could not read them if we wanted to.
• No account, no email, no number plate - and no photos of your car. The app never asks who you are, never asks for registration details, and never asks for a photo of your car. The portrait is painted - colour, silhouette, monogram - so nothing that could identify your car ever enters the app at all.
• The texts are local. Notifications are scheduled on your phone, by your phone. Nothing is sent to us.
• The app fetches, never sends. It reads our public events and articles feeds the way a browser reads a page. Nothing about you travels the other way.

Photography

Number plates and bystanders' faces are blurred in every photo we publish, including at public events. People are never identified without consent. Spot something we missed? Email us and it comes down or gets blurred the same day.

Questions

Anything unclear, or want your email removed? hello@queenofcars.com - a person answers, with appropriate ceremony.
