1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and password. You may optionally provide your name, phone number, and location.

Listing Information

When you create a vehicle listing, we collect the information you provide, including vehicle make, model, year, mileage, fuel type, transmission, price, condition, equipment, description, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We also collect images you upload of the vehicle.

Dealer Information

If you create a dealer account, we collect your business name, address, phone number, email, and website URL.

Usage Information

We collect basic usage data such as listing view counts to provide statistics to sellers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate and maintain the CarLazer platform.
  • Display your listings to potential buyers.
  • Process and compress images for optimal delivery.
  • Translate listing descriptions into supported languages (English, French, Dutch).
  • Send account-related emails, including email verification and password reset.
  • Provide listing statistics such as view counts.
  • Enforce our Terms of Service and prevent fraud.

3. Automated Processing

Image Processing

Images you upload are automatically compressed and converted to WebP format to reduce file size and improve loading speed. Both a full-size and thumbnail version are generated. Your original images are not retained after processing.

Automated Translation

Listing descriptions are sent to a third-party artificial intelligence service for translation into English, French, and Dutch. Only the listing description text is transmitted for this purpose. These translations are stored alongside your original description.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

  • Cloudflare — Content delivery network and image storage (Cloudflare R2). Your listing images are stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure.
  • AI Translation Provider — Listing descriptions are sent to a third-party AI service for automatic translation.
  • Google Fonts — Web fonts loaded from Google's servers. Google may collect anonymized usage data.
  • jsDelivr — Open-source CDN used to deliver frontend framework files.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data:

  • Passwords are securely hashed and never stored in plain text.
  • All forms are protected against cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
  • Email verification and password reset tokens are time-limited and cryptographically signed.
  • VIN numbers are stored securely and are not displayed publicly on the platform.
  • Listing images are stored on Cloudflare R2 infrastructure.
