Privacy
What Camberly holds, and what it does not.
This privacy policy is not final. It describes accurately what Camberly does today, and it has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Sections marked Not yet stated require company and legal detail that has not been decided. Camberly is not publicly launched and collects no personal information; this page will be completed and reviewed before it is.
What Camberly collects today
There are no user accounts, no sign-in, no newsletter and no contact forms. You can browse the entire site without Camberly storing anything about you.
As the site stands today:
- No advertising, and no third-party tracking scripts.
- Your browser makes no requests to third-party services while using the site.
- Nothing is shared with anyone. Camberly has no commercial relationships and no third-party processors.
Saved research, and the one cookie
If — and only if — you save a car or a comparison, Camberly sets a single first-party cookie named camberly_research. It holds a random identifier and nothing else.
That identifier is used to remember three things:
- Which vehicles you saved, and any note you attached.
- Which comparisons you saved.
- Which vehicles you recently viewed.
It is not linked to a name or email — none are collected. It is not used for analytics or advertising, never leaves Camberly, and is not read while you are simply browsing.
It is nevertheless a persistent identifier, so saved research counts as processing personal information. You can delete all of it at any time from Saved — the “Forget my research” button removes the cookie and orphans the stored rows immediately.
Usage measurement
Camberly measures how the product is used — how often people search, whether searches lead anywhere, which tools get finished, which vehicles get researched. Without that, there is no way to tell which parts of the product actually help.
This measurement is deliberately built not to identify you:
- It runs entirely on Camberly's own servers. No third-party analytics service is used, and no data leaves Camberly.
- No IP address, browser fingerprint, user agent or referrer is recorded.
- Events are grouped by a coarse, rotating visit key that cannot recognise you on a later visit and is never linked to your saved research.
- The words you type into search are not recorded — only the shape of the query, such as how many constraints it contained and how many results it returned.
- No cookie is involved, and no cross-site identifier exists.
The result answers questions about the product, not about people. It cannot be used to build a profile of you, because there is nothing in it that points back to you.
The vehicle catalogue
Makes, models, specifications, equipment and prices are published manufacturer information about vehicles. That is not information about you.
Server logs
Not yet stated. Camberly is not yet deployed to a hosting provider, so what request logs will be kept, for how long, and by whom, is not yet decided.
Who processes your information
Not yet stated. No hosting provider, database provider or other processor has been appointed, so none can be named.
Your rights
Under the Protection of Personal Information Act, you have rights over personal information held about you, including access, correction and deletion.
Deletion is available immediately and without asking anyone: the “Forget my research” button on Saved. Everything Camberly holds about you is visible on that page.
See the POPIA page for what still has to be established before those rights can be exercised in practice.
