Privacy Policy for Cars.ng

Cars.ng is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you provide while using our services. Please read this document carefully to understand our practices and your rights regarding your data.

This privacy policy applies to the data collected through the Cars.ng website and all associated services. By using Cars.ng, you agree not to misuse the website, its contents, or any communication or transaction facilitated through our platform.

This policy does not apply to third-party companies that Cars.ng does not own or control, or to individuals not employed or managed by Cars.ng. This includes any car dealerships, vendors, or other external sites linked on Cars.ng.

Cars.ng is an online marketplace where individuals and businesses in Nigeria can buy and sell vehicles. We provide a digital platform for car listings, inquiries, and, in some cases, direct contact with verified sellers or buyers.

Cars.ng does not own the cars listed on the website unless clearly stated. When you express interest in a car, we connect you with the listing party (dealer or private seller). Our role is to facilitate this interaction. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of the listings provided by external users.

We do not verify the mechanical condition, ownership documents, or seller reputation unless explicitly stated for specific listings. Users are strongly advised to conduct their own due diligence before making a transaction.

You can browse Cars.ng without providing personal information. However, to access certain features—such as posting listings, saving favorites, sending inquiries, or receiving newsletters—we may ask for:

• Name
• Contact details (email, phone number)
• Location
• Car listing details
• Identification (where needed for verification)

We use this data to:

• Enable communication between buyers and sellers
• Respond to your inquiries
• Send relevant updates or notifications
• Improve our platform and services

By using our services and submitting your personal information, you consent to our use of your data in accordance with this privacy policy.

Cars.ng automatically collects non-personal data such as:

• IP addresses
• Browser types
• Page visits
• Cookies and device data

This helps us:

• Improve website performance
• Understand user behavior
• Display targeted advertising
• Monitor site usage and detect fraud

This information is not directly linked to your identity and is used only in aggregate or anonymized form.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

We may share your data with:

• Verified sellers or buyers (to facilitate contact)
• Service providers working on our behalf (e.g. hosting, analytics, marketing)
• Law enforcement or government agencies (when required by law)
• Other users (only the information you choose to make public)

We only partner with third parties who maintain privacy standards consistent with this policy.

If you do not agree with the terms outlined here, please do not provide any personal information or use Cars.ng services that require it. If you previously submitted your information and wish to withdraw consent, you may contact us to request data removal or restriction.

We take the security of your data seriously. We implement measures such as:

• Secure socket layer (SSL) encryption
• Firewalls and intrusion detection
• Access controls and data minimization

While we strive to use industry-standard practices, no internet-based service is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of any data transmitted online.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to:

• Fulfill your requests
• Provide our services
• Comply with legal obligations

You may contact us to request deletion of your personal data at any time.
