How we use your registration

We only use your registration to get DVLA emissions and fuel type for this lookup. Your browser sends it to our site (POST /api/vrm), which forwards it to DVLA for that request. We do not store or cache the full VRM. Diagnostic logs, if written, use a masked registration (for example AB***DE). Lookups are rate-limited by IP. See the Privacy Policy.
