Privacy Policy

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE YYYY-MM-DD]

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data [BUSINESS LEGAL NAME] (“AtlantiCars”, “we”) collects when you use the AtlantiCars website, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

1.Who we are

AtlantiCars is an online marketplace operated by [BUSINESS LEGAL NAME], where sellers publish car listings and buyers contact them. AtlantiCars does not buy or sell cars itself.

For any question about this policy or your data, contact us at contact@atlanticars.com.

2.Data we collect

We only collect the data you give us and the data created when you use the site:

  • Account details: your name, email address, an optional phone number, and your password. Passwords are stored only in hashed form; we cannot read them.
  • Listing details (for sellers): vehicle information, price, city and country, photos, and the contact details you choose to add (WhatsApp number, phone number, contact email). These contact details are shown publicly on your listing so that buyers can reach you.
  • Messages: the content of the messages exchanged between buyers and sellers on the site, together with the sender, the recipient and the listing concerned.
  • Favorites: the listings you save.
  • Listing views: we count how many times each listing is viewed. This is an anonymous counter; we do not record who viewed a listing.

We do not collect payment information: no payments take place on AtlantiCars.

3.How we use your data

  • to create your account and sign you in;
  • to publish and display listings;
  • to deliver messages between users and send email notifications (a new message about your listing, or a decision on your listing);
  • to review listings before publication, moderate content and prevent abuse and fraud;
  • to operate, maintain and secure the service.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.

4.Service providers and sharing

We use the following providers to run AtlantiCars. They process data only on our behalf:

  • Neon: database hosting, where account, listing, message and favorite data is stored.
  • UploadThing: storage of listing photos.
  • Brevo: sending notification emails. Brevo receives the recipient’s name and email address, the sender’s name, the listing title and the message text.
  • Vercel: website hosting. Serving the site involves processing technical request data such as IP addresses.

Some of these providers may process data outside Morocco, including in the European Union and the United States.

Other users see the information you choose to make public, such as your listings, the contact details on them, and the name shown with your messages.

5.Cookies

We only use the cookies needed to sign you in, keep forms secure and remember your language. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6.How long we keep data

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. Listings remain on the site until you or an administrator remove them. When your account is deleted, your data is deleted as described below.

7.Your rights and account deletion

You can view and update your listings from your account at any time. You can also ask us to access, correct or delete your personal data.

To delete your account, email contact@atlanticars.com from the address linked to your account. We will delete your account, your listings and their photos, your favorites, and the messages you sent or received. Deleting messages also removes them from the other person’s conversations.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law, such as Moroccan Law No. 09-08 on the protection of personal data or the privacy laws of your US state.

8.Security

We protect your data with encrypted connections, hashed passwords and restricted access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

9.Children

AtlantiCars is not intended for people under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
