This page explains, in plain English, what we collect, why, and how long we keep it. It covers this website, the waitlist and the Tickover iPhone app.
Who we are
Tickover is run by Reasoned Digital. We are the data controller for the information described here. You can contact us at sam.brooker@btinternet.com.
The waitlist
What we store: your email address, your bike's registration number if you give one, the date you signed up, your country (worked out from your internet connection, not your exact location), how you found us (for example the site that linked to us), and a record of your consent: the wording you agreed to, its version, and when you signed up and confirmed.
Why: to send you one email to confirm your address, and then one email at launch with a beta invite. We may also count sign-ups to understand interest. Nothing else.
Lawful basis: your consent. You can withdraw it at any time by replying to any of our emails, emailing us, or using the unsubscribe link in the launch email, which deletes your address from the list straight away.
Confirming: after you sign up we email you a link. Until you open it, your sign-up stays unconfirmed and we won't send you the launch email. If you didn't sign up, ignore the email and we won't contact you again.
How long: we delete the waitlist by the end of 2027 at the latest (it is set to delete itself automatically on 31 December 2027), or sooner if you ask.
The free MOT checker
When you check a registration on this website or in the app, we ask the DVSA for that vehicle's public MOT record. We keep a copy of the record for up to 12 hours so repeat checks are quick, but we don't store who checked it or link it to you. Your connection's address is used for a minute to stop abuse, then forgotten.
Place suggestions from the app
If you suggest a biker cafe or meeting spot in the app, we store the place name, area and any notes you write, and your email address if you choose to give it (so we can reply).
We use this to check the place and add it to the map. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the map accurate and useful; if you give your email, we only use it to ask you about that suggestion, based on your consent. Suggestions are deleted automatically after 180 days.
The app
- Your vehicles, service records, rides, fuel log, reminders and document scans stay on your iPhone (and in your iPhone backup, if you back it up). We can't see them. Ride routes and document scans only leave your phone if you share or export them yourself.
- When you add a vehicle or check one, its registration number is sent to our server so we can fetch the public MOT information the DVSA publishes. We cache that public vehicle data for up to 12 hours to keep things fast. It isn't linked to you or your device.
- Your location is used on your phone to record rides and show the nearest cafes. The only time it leaves your phone is when you ask for cheap fuel nearby: then an approximate position (rounded to about 1 km) is sent to our server to find the closest filling stations. We don't store it, and it isn't linked to you or your device.
- Purchases and subscriptions are handled by Apple. We don't receive your payment details.
Visitor statistics
To see which pages are useful, this website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views and records things like the page visited, the referring site, and the type of browser and device. It doesn't use cookies or store anything on your device, and it doesn't track you across other websites or build a profile of you. You can read Cloudflare's privacy policy.
We also count how many lookups the free MOT checker gets each day. That's a single number per day, with nothing about who looked up what.
Keeping the service safe
To stop abuse, our server counts requests from each internet (IP) address over a short window (about a minute). We don't keep these counts or store your IP address with your sign-up. If we turn on Cloudflare Turnstile, a short bot check runs when you join the waitlist.
Who processes data for us
- Cloudflare hosts this website, the waitlist and our server, provides the visitor statistics (and runs Turnstile if we use it). Data may be stored or processed outside the UK; where it is, it is protected by UK adequacy regulations or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum.
- Resend sends the confirmation and launch emails, if we use it.
We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. There are no ads, no cookies for tracking or analytics, and our fonts are hosted on our own site, so visiting it doesn't send your details to anyone else.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR) you can ask to see the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop us using it, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Just email us and we'll reply within one month.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We'd appreciate the chance to sort it out first.
