Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

[Company Legal Name] ("we", "us", "AutoDealux") operates the AutoDealux marketplace and dealer platform. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights over it. We act as a data controller for platform accounts and as a processor for the dealers who use AutoDealux to run their business.

Who we are

• Controller: [Company Legal Name], [Registered Address], [Country].
• Contact / Data Protection: [privacy@yourdomain.com].

Data we collect

• Account data: name, email, phone, password (hashed), dealership details.
• Usage data: pages viewed, device/browser, IP address, approximate location.
• Listing & enquiry data: vehicles, messages, test-drive and finance enquiries.
• Connected accounts: if you connect a Facebook Page, we store the Page id, name, and an encrypted access token so we can post on your behalf. We do not post without your action and we do not access your personal profile, friends, or messages.

How we use it

To provide the service, authenticate you, publish and manage listings, connect buyers and dealers, prevent fraud, meet legal obligations, and — where you have connected them — publish content to your own social Pages at your request.

Legal bases (GDPR/UK-GDPR)

Performance of a contract, our legitimate interests (running and securing the platform), your consent (e.g. marketing, cookies, connecting a social account), and compliance with law.

Sharing

With the dealer you contact, our infrastructure and communication providers (hosting, email/SMS), and, when you use them, third-party platforms such as Meta. We never sell your personal data.

International transfers

We may process data outside your country using appropriate safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).

Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or anonymise it.

Your rights

Access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, and objection. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. To delete data associated with a connected Facebook account, see our Data Deletion Instructions. Contact [privacy@yourdomain.com] to exercise any right; you may also complain to your local data-protection authority.
