What information do we collect?
Information you provide: The name, contact, device and photo information you share through forms, membership, orders, service bookings, valuations and listings.
Automatically generated logs: The infrastructure that serves the site may keep technical logs such as IP address, browser type and time of access, for security and continuity of service.
Stored on your device: Features such as the cart, favourites and the demo account use your browser’s local storage. Details are in the Cookie Policy.
Demo mode
Our site is in a pre-launch demo phase. Actions such as signing in, adding to cart, requesting a valuation, creating a listing and the contact/dealership forms run only in your browser; your information is not sent to any server. No real payment is taken on the demo payment screen.
If you use the “Send via WhatsApp” option on forms, the prepared message is passed to the WhatsApp app with your approval; from that point on, WhatsApp’s own privacy terms apply.
