      <p>This Privacy Policy explains how Greasely ("Greasely", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and workshop management platform (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.</p>

      <h2>Information we collect</h2>
      <p>We collect information you provide directly, such as when you sign up for a trial, fill in the contact form, or use the platform to manage your workshop. This may include:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Your name, email address, and workshop details provided at sign-up</li>
        <li>Messages you send us through the contact form</li>
        <li>Customer, vehicle, job, and invoicing data you enter into the platform</li>
        <li>Basic technical information such as IP address and browser type, collected automatically for security and rate-limiting purposes</li>
      </ul>

      <h2>How we use your information</h2>
      <p>We use the information we collect to:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Provide, operate, and maintain the Service</li>
        <li>Respond to enquiries and provide customer support</li>
        <li>Send trial and account-related notifications, such as welcome emails</li>
        <li>Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents</li>
        <li>Improve and develop the Service</li>
      </ul>
      <p>We do not sell your personal information, or your customers' personal information, to third parties.</p>

      <h2>Cookies</h2>
      <p>The Service uses a small number of essential cookies to keep you securely signed in and to protect forms against automated abuse. See our <a href="/cookies.php">Cookie Policy</a> for details.</p>

      <h2>Data sharing</h2>
      <p>We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Service — for example, hosting infrastructure and bot-protection providers — under agreements that require them to protect your data. We may also disclose information if required to by law.</p>

      <h2>Data security</h2>
      <p>We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls limiting who can view your data. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information to a high standard.</p>

      <h2>Data retention</h2>
      <p>We retain account and workshop data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription, you can export your data beforehand; we retain it for a limited period afterward in case you wish to reactivate, after which it is securely deleted.</p>

      <h2>Your rights</h2>
      <p>Depending on where you're located, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, <a href="/contact.php">contact us</a> and we'll assist you.</p>

      <h2>Children's privacy</h2>
      <p>The Service is intended for business use by workshop owners and staff, and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.</p>

      <h2>Changes to this policy</h2>
      <p>We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above.</p>

      <h2>Contact us</h2>
      <p>If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please <a href="/contact.php">get in touch</a>.</p>
