What we collect
- Account details: your name, email, phone number and city.
- Listings: vehicle details, VIN, photos and prices you post.
- Activity: bids, purchases, deal checks and notifications.
- Payments: handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
- Identity check: before your first listing, and before a bid or purchase of $15,000 or more, Stripe checks your ID document and a selfie. Stripe keeps those pictures; we keep only whether the check passed and when.
- Reports: if you report a listing, we keep the report, the reason you picked and which account sent it, so we can review it. The seller is not told who reported them.
- Technical data: basic logs (IP address, browser) used to keep the site secure.
How we use it
To run the marketplace, process payments, send notices about your bids and sales, prevent fraud, and improve CarFlipper. We don't sell your personal information.
Who sees what
Listings (vehicle details, photos, city and your first name) are public, with a mark when the seller passed the identity check. Bids are shown publicly without names. Your full name, phone number and email are shared only with the other side of a sale, after the buyer fee is paid.
Service providers
We use Supabase (database, login and photo storage), Stripe (payments and identity checks), Vercel (hosting) and the NHTSA vehicle database (VIN lookups). They process data only to provide their services to us.
Your choices
You can edit your profile any time. To delete your account and data, email support@carflipper.com. We keep records of completed sales and payments as required by law.
