Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how HeavyWheels ("we", "us", or "the Platform") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and services. By using HeavyWheels, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information we collect

• Account information: your name, email address, phone number, city, and address when you register.
• Listings: details and photos of the vehicles or parts you post.
• Usage data: basic technical information such as your IP address and activity needed to operate and secure the Platform.

2. How we use your information

• To create and manage your account and listings.
• To let buyers and sellers contact each other (your phone number is only shown to signed-in users on your listings).
• To process subscriptions, promotions, and sales commissions.
• To protect the Platform against fraud and abuse.

3. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the Platform — for example, our cloud image host (Cloudinary) for listing photos and our email provider for account notifications — and where required by law.

4. Cookies & sessions

We use secure cookies and tokens to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences (such as language and theme). These are necessary for the Platform to function.

5. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services and meet legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account at any time.

6. Your rights

You can access, update, or delete your personal information from your account dashboard, or by contacting us. To exercise any of these rights, reach us via our contact page.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after an update means you accept the revised policy.
