What we collect

Privacy Notice

Effective from 15 September 2026

BestVinReport is a comparison site. We review vehicle history report providers, rank them and point you towards them — and if you buy after following one of our links, that provider pays us a commission. We do not sell reports, we do not ask you to register, and no payment ever passes through this site. Because of that, the amount of personal information involved here is small. This notice explains it.

In a nutshell

  • No account, no checkout and no card details on this site.
  • We see ordinary visit data and use it for analytics.
  • When you head to a provider, we tag the link so the referral is credited to us.
  • You can switch analytics and advertising off whenever you like.

Who runs this site

This website is owned and run by bestvinreport.com. Wherever this notice says “we” or “us”, it means bestvinreport.com.

Information we come into contact with

We do not hand you forms to fill in or ask for personal details. What does pass through is the everyday data any website receives: the network address your device connects from, the browser and operating system you are using, the pages you open, and the link that sent you our way. We also measure how those pages are used, through an analytics tool configured to keep nothing on your device.

Following a referral to a provider

Because we are paid on referrals, we need to know which visits started with us. To do that we keep a Google click identifier (the "gclid") in a cookie named bvr_gclid for roughly three months, and when you click through to a provider we attach that identifier — plus a short tag marking the visit as ours — to the outgoing link. This exists only to credit the referral; it never changes the price you are shown.

What the data is used for

  • Running the site and keeping it secure.
  • Understanding which comparisons people find useful, through a cookieless analytics tool.
  • Crediting referrals, through the click identifier described above.

We run no advertising tags on this site, and the analytics tool stores nothing on your device. The referral cookie described above is the only non-essential marker we set, and your browser can block or clear it at any time.

Tools and partners that see it

The limited information above is handled by the services that make the site work: mainly PostHog for analytics, plus our hosting and content-delivery providers. Anything you do after clicking through to a provider falls under that provider's own privacy notice, not ours.

Where the data goes

Some of these partners operate outside the European Economic Area. When information reaches them, that transfer is covered by the safeguards they have in place, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Your choices

If you are in the EU or EEA, you can ask to see, correct or delete the data relating to you and object to how it is used. The referral cookie described above can be blocked or cleared in your browser settings at any time, and the cookie page explains what it is and what happens without it. You can also raise a concern with the data protection authority in your country.

Keeping this notice current

We will revise this notice when our practices change. The effective date at the top always points to the latest version.
