Privacy Policy.

01. Our scope

This Privacy Policy explains how the operator of carsale.world handles personal information through this website, including vehicle browsing, accounts, saved vehicles, contact requests and published content. References to “we,” “our” and “us” mean the website operator. Our contact details appear at the end of this policy.

This notice covers the website. A dealer, lender or other business you interact with may provide a separate notice for its own services, financing applications or vehicle transactions.

02. Information we collect

• Account information: your name, email address, password in hashed form, account status and registration date.
• Inquiry information: your name, email, optional telephone number, message and associated vehicle. Corporate inquiries may also include your company, inquiry type and subject.
• Account activity: saved vehicles and inquiries linked to your account when you are signed in.
• Technical information: session identifiers and a hash derived from your IP address for login abuse prevention. Our hosting infrastructure may maintain request logs containing IP addresses, timestamps, requested pages and browser information.
• Public content: vehicle listings, article content, photographs, videos and customer reviews published by our administrator. Published reviews may include a display name, location and vehicle details.
• Provider information: when enabled, advertising, analytics and embedded content providers may collect device identifiers, cookie data, page interactions and network information.

The website does not provide a payment checkout or collect credit card details, Social Security numbers or credit applications through its standard forms. Please do not include sensitive financial information or identity documents in an inquiry.

03. How we use information

We use account and inquiry information to operate the platform, authenticate users, save selected vehicles, respond to requests and support customer communications. Security information helps us protect forms, detect misuse and limit repeated login attempts. Published content supports vehicle discovery and company communications.

If advertising or analytics services are enabled, their technologies may support visitor measurement, advertising delivery and campaign evaluation. Processing by those providers depends on the services configured by the operator.

04. Access and disclosure

Authorized administrators can review account records and inquiries to manage the website and respond to requests. Hosting and infrastructure providers process information necessary to deliver and maintain the service. Third-party advertising, analytics, image and video providers may receive information when your browser connects to their services.

We may disclose information when required by applicable law or valid legal process, to investigate abuse, or to protect lawful rights and security. If ownership of the business changes, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable obligations.

The core application does not offer a feature to sell account or inquiry databases. Advertising technologies, however, may involve disclosures treated as a “sale,” “sharing” or targeted advertising under some state laws, depending on configuration. This policy does not represent that all third-party tracking is disabled.

05. Cookies, advertising and external content

Essential session cookies support sign-in, form security and temporary messages. Disabling them may prevent account features and form submissions from working correctly.

The operator can enable Google AdSense and other advertising or tracking code. Those services may use cookies or similar technologies. To learn about Google's practices, visit Google's partner-site privacy information. Other providers' notices apply to their respective services.

YouTube and Vimeo embeds, external photographs and linked websites may receive your IP address, browser information and other request data when loaded. Embeds can connect before playback. Third-party services may process information outside your state or country.

You can manage cookies through your browser and use privacy controls offered by individual providers. Browser “Do Not Track” signals do not currently change the core application's behavior. The core application does not include an automated Global Privacy Control or consent-management system; the behavior of supplied advertising or tracking code depends on its configuration. Contact us for information about active services and available opt-out methods.

06. Retention and security

Account records, saved vehicles and inquiries remain stored until removed by an administrator or otherwise deleted through operational maintenance. Retention depends on service needs, request handling and applicable recordkeeping obligations; the application does not enforce automatic deletion schedules. Hosting logs and backups may have separate retention periods.

The application uses password hashing, administrator access controls, prepared database queries and form security tokens. Security also depends on hosting configuration, updates and administrator practices. No transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

07. Your privacy choices and requests

You may update your account name and password when signed in and manage your saved vehicles. For access, correction or deletion requests, contact us using the details below. You do not need to create an account to submit a privacy request. Describe your request and provide the email associated with your account or inquiry; do not send identity documents unless a secure verification method has been agreed.

Depending on your residence and whether applicable laws cover the operator, you may have rights to access or obtain a copy of personal information, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, or opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising. California residents may also have applicable rights concerning certain sensitive personal information and nondiscrimination for exercising privacy rights. Exceptions and verification requirements may apply. Where an appeal right applies, contact us with the subject “Privacy request appeal.”

For advertising or tracking opt-out questions, use the subject “Privacy opt-out” and identify the relevant service or concern. These requests require operator review; submission does not automatically disable third-party scripts or cookies. Where applicable law requires browser-signal recognition or a dedicated opt-out mechanism, the operator must implement that mechanism.

08. Children and international visitors

This website is intended for adults exploring vehicles and related information. It is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so that the operator can investigate and address the record.

The platform is designed for a U.S. audience. If you visit from another jurisdiction, information may be processed in locations with different privacy laws, including locations used by hosting and third-party providers.

09. Policy updates and contact

We may revise this policy as the website, providers or applicable requirements change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Where required, the operator will provide additional notice of material changes.
