We collect information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information from third parties.
Information you provide: When you contact a dealer, submit a financing application, register an account, or list a vehicle, we collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any vehicle or financial information you submit.
Information collected automatically: When you visit GotMotos, we automatically collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, search queries entered, and session data. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect this information.
Information from third parties: We may receive information about you from dealer partners, financing lenders, vehicle history data providers, and analytics services including Google Analytics 4.
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the GotMotos platform, including the following purposes:
GotMotos does not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share information in the following limited circumstances:
With dealer partners: When you submit a lead inquiry on a vehicle listing, your contact information and inquiry details are transmitted to the dealer associated with that listing. That dealer's privacy practices govern how they handle your information after receipt.
With financing partners: When you submit a financing application, your information is shared with lending partners for the purpose of evaluating and providing loan offers.
With service providers: We share information with vendors who help us operate the platform, including hosting providers, analytics services, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually restricted from using your data for purposes other than providing services to us.
For legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of GotMotos, our users, and the public.
When you contact a dealer through a GotMotos listing, your name, email address, phone number, and message are transmitted to that dealer in real time. GotMotos acts as a lead generation platform in this context. Once your information has been delivered to a dealer, GotMotos is not responsible for the dealer's subsequent use of that information. We recommend reviewing the dealer's own privacy policy before submitting an inquiry.
If you list a vehicle as a private seller, your listing information including vehicle details and contact method is displayed publicly to buyers on GotMotos. Do not include sensitive personal information such as your full home address in a vehicle listing.
GotMotos uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: maintaining your session and search preferences, measuring site traffic and usage patterns via Google Analytics 4, and enabling certain platform features. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some functionality on GotMotos.
We use Google Analytics 4, which may collect and process data in accordance with Google's privacy policy. Google Analytics data is used to understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the platform.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect about you, to request deletion of your personal information, to opt out of the sale of personal information (GotMotos does not sell personal information), and to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. To submit a California privacy request, contact us at gotmotos.com/contact or email privacy@gotmotos.com.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to operate the platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Lead inquiry data is retained for up to 24 months. Account data is retained until you request deletion. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics' standard retention settings.
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
GotMotos is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of GotMotos after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
