Introduction
This privacy policy explains how Finance-1, operated by Prudent Plus Limited, handles information when you visit the website or contact us. The site provides general guidance about UK impounded-car insurance and related procedures. We do not collect personal data for marketing, and we do not sell, rent or trade information with anyone.
Information we collect
Finance-1 does not run user accounts, comment sections or log-in systems. The only information we receive is:
- standard technical data sent automatically by your browser, such as IP address, device type and pages viewed
- anonymous, aggregated site-usage data used for performance monitoring
- any information you choose to send us directly by email
We do not collect sensitive personal data, and we do not request details about impound cases, insurance policies or identification documents. If you choose to share such information by email, it is used only to understand your query and is deleted when no longer required.
Cookies and analytics
Like most websites, Finance-1 uses basic cookies to keep the site running smoothly and to understand which pages are useful to visitors. Cookies may record which pages you have visited, how long you stayed, and how you reached the site.
These cookies do not identify you personally. They help us review how the site performs so we can make improvements. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
How we use information
The small amount of data we receive is used only for:
- monitoring site performance and reliability
- detecting errors or technical problems
- responding to user emails
- maintaining security and preventing misuse
We do not use your data for profiling, automated decision-making or targeted advertising.
Sharing of information
Finance-1 does not share personal data with advertisers, insurers, brokers or other third parties. Information may be shared only if required for legal reasons, such as complying with a lawful request from authorities, or to protect the security of the website.
Third-party links
The site may include references to external organisations where helpful, but we do not embed external adverts or tracking tools. If you click through to another website, their own privacy policy applies. Finance-1 has no control over how third-party sites handle data.
Email contact
If you contact us by email, we receive whatever information you choose to provide. We use it only to reply to your message or to improve the accuracy of our content. Emails are deleted when no longer needed, and we do not add your details to any mailing lists.

Data security
We use standard security measures to protect the website and its hosting environment. While no system is guaranteed to be completely secure, we take reasonable steps to reduce risks and protect the integrity of the site.
Children’s privacy
Finance-1 is written for adults and does not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe information has been provided by someone under the age of 13, please contact us so it can be removed.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have rights over any personal data we hold about you. These include the right to access, correct or request deletion of your information. Because this site holds very little personal data, most requests can be handled quickly.
Updates to this policy
We review this privacy policy from time to time to keep it accurate and in line with current practice. Any updates are posted on this page with an adjusted date. Continued use of the site after changes are published indicates acceptance of the updated version.
How to raise a concern
If you have questions or concerns about how your data is handled, you can contact us using the email address above. You also have the right to raise concerns with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, although we recommend contacting us first so we can address any issues directly.
Impound processes, time limits and costs vary widely across the UK, and authorities can amend their rules at any time. Information on this site is intended as a general overview and should not be relied on as definitive for any specific impound location.
