At detoate.io, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've written it in plain language to make it easy to understand.
We collect information to provide and improve our vehicle marketplace. Here's what we gather and why:
When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored securely using bcrypt hashing). If you choose to add a profile photo, we store that as well.
When you create a vehicle listing, we collect the details you provide — make, model, year, mileage, price, description, photos, and location. This information is displayed publicly on the marketplace.
When you use detoate.io, we automatically collect basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This helps us maintain platform security and improve the user experience.
We use the information we collect for specific, legitimate purposes:
We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate measures to protect it:
While we implement industry-standard security measures, no system is completely immune to threats. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to report any security concerns to us immediately.
You have control over your personal data. Here are your rights:
We retain your data only as long as necessary:
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time through your account settings.
When you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days. Some anonymized data may be retained for analytics purposes. Backup copies may persist for up to 90 days before being automatically purged.
Published listings remain visible while your account is active. Expired listings are automatically removed after 90 days. Sold or manually removed listings are deleted from public view immediately, with data retained for 30 days in case you want to relist.
detoate.io is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If we become aware that we have collected data from a user under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy@detoate.io.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements.
When we make changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes that significantly affect how we handle your data, we'll notify you by email before they take effect.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of detoate.io after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, we're here to help:
