Privacy policy
This policy explains what Apna Wheels records when you browse, create an account, list a vehicle, contact a seller, operate a dealership or book an inspection.
Who is responsible for your information
Apna Wheels is responsible for information handled by this marketplace. Privacy questions and data requests can be sent to support@apnawheels.com or to the office address on our contact page.
Information we collect
- Account details such as your name, email address and optional phone number.
- Listing and dealership information, including photographs, descriptions, business details and documents submitted for verification.
- Inspection booking details, including the contact person, phone number, appointment location, vehicle information, checklist findings and report photographs.
- Marketplace activity such as saves, views, contact reveals, reports, orders and administrative actions.
- Technical information needed for security and reliability, including session, device, browser, IP-derived rate-limit and audit information.
How we use it
We use information to provide accounts and listings, connect buyers and sellers, operate dealer and inspection services, prevent abuse, moderate content, answer support requests and understand aggregate marketplace performance.
We do not publish private verification documents, registration numbers, exact private seller coordinates or unrevealed seller phone numbers. Public inspection reports are shared only when the customer enables sharing.
Who receives information
Information is shown to other users only where the product makes that clear—for example, a public listing, a seller contact reveal or a report the customer chose to share. Service providers may process information for hosting, database, storage, security and delivery functions under the platform operator’s instructions.
We may preserve or disclose information where required by law, to investigate fraud or a safety incident, or to protect users and the service.
Retention and control
Records are kept for as long as needed to operate the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes and preserve the integrity of transactions, moderation and audit history. We delete or anonymise information when it is no longer reasonably needed, subject to legal, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution and audit requirements.
To request access or correction, email support@apnawheels.com or use another published channel on the contact page. To close an account and request deletion, follow the steps on the account deletion page. Some records may be retained where legally required or necessary for security, fraud prevention or dispute resolution.
Cookies and advertising
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your language and appearance choices. These functions are separate from advertising preferences.
When advertising is enabled, Google and other third-party advertising vendors may place and read cookies, use web beacons, and process IP addresses and device information to deliver, measure and personalise advertisements. Google advertising cookies may use visits to this and other websites to personalise ads.
You can manage personalised advertising in Google My Ad Center and learn how Google uses information on partner sites at Google�s partner-site privacy information. Other participating vendors� choices are available at YourAdChoices. Browser cookie controls are also available; blocking essential cookies may affect sign-in.
Where consent is required for advertising, use the consent message�s options to accept, reject or manage your choices. Advertising stays paused while our AdSense account is under review. We do not intentionally send private verification documents, messages or account details to advertisers.
Security and changes
We use access controls, private document storage, database-backed sessions, rate limits and audit records to reduce risk. No online system can guarantee absolute security.
Material changes will be published here with a new effective date. Questions about this policy should be sent through the contact page.
