Privacy Policy

Plain language, because privacy policies should be readable. Headline: we never sell your contact information — not to dealers, lenders, insurers, or anyone. That's the promise printed on our contact buttons, and it holds everywhere.

What we collect, and why

• Contact information: the email address you use to publish or manage a listing. Saved cars and searches live in your own browser, not on our servers — there are no accounts.
• Verification data: when you sell, we store the email address you confirmed through the publish link and the outcome of the VIN, duplicate, and scam-screening checks (passed / not passed, and when). WhipLister does not collect government ID or selfies; if identity verification is added later, this policy will be updated first and documents will be handled by a specialist provider under its own policy.
• Listing content: vehicle details, photos, videos, and messages you send through the site — to operate the marketplace and keep a record for safety and dispute handling.
• Usage and device data: pages viewed, searches, and basic device/security signals — to run the site, measure what works, and detect fraud and bots (including Cloudflare security services).
• Aggregate search demand: anonymized, aggregated counts of what people search for, used to improve coverage. Individual search histories are not sold or shared.

What we never do

• We never sell or rent your name, email, phone, or message contents to third parties for their marketing.
• When you message a seller, your contact details go only to that seller, and only as you choose to share them.
• We never use verification documents for advertising.

Advertising and cookies

WhipLister is ad-supported. We and our advertising partners (such as Google AdSense and Adsterra) may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, including interest-based ads where permitted. You can control cookies in your browser and opt out of interest-based advertising through your ad settings with the relevant provider. Essential cookies keep sign-in, security, and preferences working.

When we share information

• Service providers who run parts of the site (hosting, security, verification, analytics, advertising) under contract, only as needed for their service.
• Partner offers you choose: if you tap a VIN-check, financing, insurance, warranty, or shipping offer, the information needed for that quote goes to that provider, under its own privacy policy.
• Legal and safety: when required by law, or to investigate fraud and protect users — for example, responding to law-enforcement requests about scam listings.

Your choices

You can view and update your account information, delete saved items and alerts, and request deletion of your account and personal data by contacting us. Some records (for example, verification outcomes and transaction-safety logs) may be retained where legally required or needed to keep banned scammers banned.

Children

WhipLister is for adults buying and selling cars. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
