Information we collect
We receive account identifiers, email, and optional display information when you sign in. Profiles and listings may include a name, phone number, location, vehicle details, photos, and seller biography. We store messages, saved vehicles, saved searches, dealer applications, reports, and support requests that you submit.
Location information
If you choose location services, the exact coordinates remain only in the open browser page while it applies your selected radius. The browser sends a 0.1-degree locality cell—not the exact coordinates—for search and reverse-location requests. Search retrieval includes a buffer for that locality-cell uncertainty, then the browser applies your unchanged radius. Results and displayed distances remain approximate because seller and dealership coordinates are also reduced to locality level. An address you enter may be sent to a geocoding service for that lookup, but street-address, postal-code, and device-location lookups are not retained in our shared geocoding cache. Saved searches retain only a provider-confirmed city or town, U.S. state, locality cell, structured vehicle filters, and chosen radius; they do not retain the typed address, postal code, or free-form search text. Canonical town or city cache entries expire after no more than 30 days. Owner listings use an approximate town-center location for distance; we do not request or publish the seller’s street address.
How information is used
We use information to operate search, publish listings, connect buyers and sellers, respond to support and safety reports, verify dealerships, prevent abuse, maintain records, and improve the service. We do not sell personal information.
Service providers
Hosting, identity, mapping, media storage, payment, email delivery, and optional AI providers process limited information on our behalf. Stripe handles payment-card details; we retain billing identifiers, purchase events, and membership status needed to fulfill purchases. Email delivery records are retained to operate notifications and retries. The optional vehicle guide receives bounded search settings and non-contact listing summaries only when enabled.
Advertising and measurement
We do not currently load Google, Meta, X, or other third-party advertising pixels. If you allow optional measurement, this device may retain only an approved campaign source, medium, and campaign label for up to 30 days so we can understand whether an advertisement led people to the marketplace. When a signed-in user successfully submits a dealer application, publishes a native listing, or starts a first buyer conversation for a listing, the site may save a separate anonymous conversion record for up to 90 days. That server record contains only the conversion type, approved source, medium, campaign label, and day. It contains no account or profile identifier, contact detail, search, exact location, vehicle identifier, or message. Global Privacy Control keeps optional measurement off.
Sharing and public information
Vehicle listings, seller display names, dealer information, and contact methods selected by the seller may be visible to visitors. Private messages are shown only to their participants and authorized administrators when needed for safety, support, or legal compliance.
Retention and choices
We keep information while it supports an active account, listing, membership, safety review, or legal obligation. To enforce first-purchase offers and prevent repeat claims, we retain a limited membership-purchase record, account or business identifiers, and hashed business-verification references after a membership ends. Canceling a membership or receiving a refund does not reset introductory-offer eligibility. These records are not used for advertising. You can remove listings, change profile details, delete saved items, and request additional account assistance through the contact page.
Security and children
We use access controls and managed hosting, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. The marketplace is not intended for children under 18.
