How tradecars247 collects, uses and protects your data — written in plain English for buyers, sellers and dealers across the UK.
We collect the information you give us when you create an account, list a vehicle or contact another user — including your name, email, phone number, location and listing details. We also collect basic device and usage information needed to run the app.
We use your information to operate the marketplace, verify listings, connect buyers and sellers, send service messages and improve the product. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
When you list a vehicle, the listing details you publish (photos, description, price, location) are visible to other tradecars247 users. Your contact details are only shared with buyers when you choose to respond to an enquiry.
Browsing, swiping and saving listings is private to your account. We use this activity to improve recommendations and surface relevant vehicles to you.
Optional paid upgrades (Boost Visibility, Hot Pick, extra card slots) are processed by secure third-party payment providers. We do not store full card details on our servers.
We use a small number of essential cookies and lightweight analytics to understand how the app and website are used. This helps us fix issues and improve the experience — it is never used to identify you personally to advertisers.
Your data is stored on secure UK and EU-based infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. Access is restricted to authorised tradecars247 staff for support and safety purposes only.
You can request access to your data, correct it, or ask us to delete your account at any time. Email hello@tradecars247.co.uk and we'll action your request promptly.
For any privacy questions, visit our contact page or email hello@tradecars247.co.uk.
