Privacy Policy

Your data.
Handled properly.

This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over it. It's written in plain language — because transparency isn't a legal checkbox, it's how we operate.

Who

Collect

Section 02

What data we collect.

We only collect what's needed to run the marketplace — verify who you are, process payments, deliver assets, and keep the platform secure. Nothing more.

01

Identity Data

What we collect to verify you're who you say you are — required before you can bid.

  • Full name
  • Date of birth (age verification)
  • Government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID)

  • Phone number
  • Delivery address (street, city, ZIP, country)
  • Company address (if different from delivery)

  • Bank account details (for bank transfers)
  • Payment method reference (card token, not card number)

  • Device type and operating system

  • Listings viewed and saved
  • Login timestamps and account activity
  • Support correspondence
  • Warranty claims and refund requests
06

What We Don't Collect

Just as important as what we do collect — here's what we have no interest in.

  • Your race, ethnicity, or religion
  • Health or medical information
  • Political opinions or affiliations
  • Biometric data (fingerprints, face scans)
We never sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. Your information is used only for the purposes stated in this policy.

Section 03

How we use your data.

Every use of your data has a clear legal basis under US and Florida law — a contract, a legal obligation, your consent, or our legitimate business interest. Here's what we use it for, and why we're allowed to.

Contract

To Perform Our Contract

Processing that's necessary to deliver the service you've asked for — registering your account, letting you bid, processing payments, and delivering assets.

  • Creating and managing your account
  • Processing bids and auction activity
  • Processing payments and issuing invoices
  • Coordinating delivery to your address
  • Handling warranty claims and refunds
Legal obligation

To Meet Legal Requirements

Processing we're required to do under US federal and Florida state law — identity verification, tax records, and accounting obligations.

  • Identity verification (BSA / AML compliance)
  • Tax and sales tax reporting
  • Accounting and invoice retention
  • Responding to lawful authority requests
  • Fraud prevention and detection
Business interest

To Run & Improve the Platform

Processing that supports our legitimate business interests — keeping the platform secure, improving how it works, and preventing abuse.

  • Site security and abuse prevention
  • Fraud and suspicious activity monitoring
  • Improving site performance and usability
  • Analytics on anonymised or aggregated data
  • Legal claims and defence
Consent

When You've Opted In

Processing that only happens if you've given us explicit permission — and that you can withdraw at any time.

  • Marketing emails and newsletters (CAN-SPAM compliant)
  • Non-essential cookies (analytics)
  • Auction alerts and outbid notifications (opt-in)
  • Text messages (TCPA-compliant consent)
  • Any future use clearly stated at opt-in

Use

Share

Section 04

Who we share data with.

We share data only with the parties needed to run the marketplace — never sold, never given to advertisers. Every recipient is bound by contract to protect your data.

01

Payment Providers

To process bank transfers, we share payment data with secure, verified financial institutions. We never see or store your full banking credentials.

Purpose Process payments & refunds
02

Logistics Partners

To deliver assets to your location, we share your name, delivery address, and phone number with our transport partners.

Purpose Coordinate delivery
03

IT & Hosting

Our website, auction platform, and email are hosted on US-based servers operated by contracted providers under written service-provider agreements.

Purpose Host & secure the platform
04

Legal & Regulatory

Where required by law, we may share data with the IRS, the Florida Department of Revenue, law enforcement, or courts — always limited to what's legally required.

Purpose Comply with lawful requests
05

Professional Advisors

Our accountants, auditors, and legal advisors may access your data strictly where needed for compliance and professional advice.

Purpose Accounting, audit, legal
06

What We Never Do

Some things we simply don't do — not with your data, not with anyone's.

Never Sell, rent, or trade your data
Every processor is bound by contract. All third parties we share data with sign a written service-provider agreement that complies with Fla. Stat. § 501.171(5) and FTC Act § 5 — they can only use your data on our instructions, and only for the stated purpose.

Section 05

International data transfers.

We keep your data inside the United States wherever possible. Where a transfer outside the US is unavoidable, we make sure the recipient is bound by one of the safeguards below.

01

Where Data Is Stored

Our website, auction platform, and email infrastructure are hosted on servers located within the United States. Your data does not leave the US unless required for a specific purpose below.

Primary location United States
02

When Transfers Happen

Transfers outside the United States can occur in two cases — and only in these two cases:

  • Some service providers (e.g. cloud backup, international subcontractors) may process data outside the US
  • International delivery or legal requirements may involve the recipient's jurisdiction
03

Approved Safeguards

Where data is transferred outside the United States, we rely on one of these safeguards:

  • Written contracts — confidentiality and security obligations, enforceable in the US
  • Vendor verification — reviewed for comparable data-protection practices
  • Explicit consent — where you've specifically agreed to a transfer
04

Your Rights Over Transfers

You have the right to ask us about any transfer of your data outside the United States — including what safeguard applies.

  • Request a copy of the safeguard we rely on
  • Object to a transfer based on business interest
  • Withdraw consent where consent was the basis
Want details of a specific transfer? Contact us at support@motorholdings.com — we'll tell you exactly which safeguard applies to your data and share the relevant documentation.

Transfers

Retention

Section 06

How long we keep data.

We keep your personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected — or as required by law. After that, it's deleted or anonymised. Here's how long each category is retained.

Data Type Retention Period Why
Account data Until account closure + 30 days Allows reactivation; then deleted
Identity documents 5 years after last transaction BSA / AML compliance (federal law)
Transaction records 7 years IRS tax & accounting obligations
Invoices & sales tax records 7 years IRS + Florida Department of Revenue
Bid history Until account closure + 1 year Dispute resolution
Support correspondence 3 years Reference for future issues
Warranty & refund records Duration of warranty + 1 year Claim handling
Marketing consents Until consent withdrawn Consent-based processing
Server & access logs 12 months Security & fraud monitoring
Cookie data Up to 12 months Functionality & analytics
01

No Longer Than Needed

Retention periods are the minimum required for the purpose — not arbitrary. If we can delete data sooner without breaking the law or leaving you exposed, we do.

02

Secure Deletion

When data reaches the end of its retention period, we delete it or irreversibly anonymise it. No dormant copies linger in backups beyond their own retention cycle.

03

Legal Holds

If data is needed for an active legal claim, dispute, or regulatory investigation, we may retain it beyond the standard period — only for as long as the matter is unresolved.

04

Your Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your data at any time. Where no legal obligation prevents it, we'll erase your account and personal data within 30 days — see the next section for full rights.

Retention periods may vary slightly depending on the state in which your transaction takes place — because state tax and commercial law differs across the US. Where a shorter statutory period applies, we use the shorter one.

Section 07

Your rights.

You have eight specific rights over your personal data — provided as a matter of company policy and, where applicable, under US state privacy laws. All of them are free to exercise, and we respond to every request within 30 days — usually much faster.

Note on legal basis: some rights below are also granted by specific state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA in California, the Florida Digital Bill of Rights for qualifying entities). We extend them to all our customers regardless of legal requirement.

01

Right of Access

You can ask what personal data we hold about you, why we hold it, and who we share it with. We'll send a copy in a portable format within 30 days.

Right Access
02

Right to Rectification

If any data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. We'll update your records and confirm within 30 days.

Right Correction
03

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten" (where applicable). You can request deletion of your personal data — subject to legal obligations (e.g. tax records) that require us to keep it.

Right Deletion
04

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to pause processing your data — for example while a dispute is being resolved, or if you believe the data is inaccurate. We'll keep it stored but stop using it.

Right Restriction
05

Right to Data Portability

You can request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format (e.g. CSV or JSON) — useful if you want to transfer it to another service.

Right Portability
06

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on business interest or direct marketing — including profiling for marketing purposes. We'll stop unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons to continue.

Right Objection
07

Rights on Automated Decisions

You have the right not to be subject to a decision made solely by automated means — including profiling — that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We don't use such decisions for bidding or approval.

Right Human review
08

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent — like marketing emails — you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal doesn't affect the lawfulness of processing that already took place.

Right Withdrawal
How to Exercise Your Rights Simple process — no forms, no fees, no runaround.
01
Email us Write to support@motorholdings.com with the right you want to exercise.
02
We verify We confirm your identity (to prevent unauthorised requests) — usually same day.
03
We respond Within 30 days, always free. If we can't fulfil a request, we'll tell you why.
Unhappy with our response? Florida residents can file a complaint with the Florida Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. All US consumers can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov. We'd rather resolve it with you first — so please contact us.
