Introduction and Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Website and covers all data collected through its functionality. It outlines what information is collected, the purposes for which it is used, and the rights available to users under applicable data protection laws.

Information We Collect

The Website may collect information that you voluntarily provide when interacting with its features. This includes license plate numbers entered into the search functionality, as well as contact information such as your email address if you choose to communicate with us directly. Any information submitted in this manner is provided at your discretion.

In addition to user-provided data, certain information is collected automatically when you access or navigate the Website. This may include technical and usage-related information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, access times, referring URLs, and patterns of interaction with the Website. These data points are typically collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies that facilitate the proper functioning of the Website.

We may also obtain data from publicly available sources or licensed third-party providers in order to deliver vehicle-related information in response to user queries. While reasonable efforts are made to rely on credible sources, the Website does not guarantee the absolute accuracy or completeness of such third-party data.

Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing

The information collected through the Website is processed for legitimate and clearly defined purposes. These include operating and maintaining the Website, delivering search results, improving performance and user experience, analyzing usage patterns, ensuring system security, preventing fraud or misuse, and responding to user inquiries.

Where required under applicable law, personal data is processed on the basis of user consent, legitimate interest, or compliance with legal obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to support its functionality and enhance the user experience. These technologies allow us to maintain session continuity, store user preferences, and analyze Website performance. Users have the ability to control or disable cookies through their browser settings; however, doing so may affect the availability or functionality of certain features.

Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise distribute personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. However, information may be disclosed to trusted service providers who assist in operating and maintaining the Website, provided that such parties are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Disclosure may also occur when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental authority, or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the Website, its users, or third parties. In the context of a merger, acquisition, or similar business transaction, user information may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to applicable legal safeguards.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purpose of its use, and applicable legal requirements.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks involved in processing. Nevertheless, no system can guarantee absolute security, particularly in the context of Internet-based data transmission.

International Data Transfers

Where applicable, personal data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside of your country of residence. In such cases, appropriate safeguards are implemented to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws and to protect user information.

User Rights

Depending on the applicable legal framework, users may have certain rights regarding their personal data. These may include the right to access, correct, or delete personal information, as well as the right to restrict or object to certain forms of processing. Where processing is based on consent, users may also have the right to withdraw such consent at any time.
