Car Auction

Privacy notice

What we store, why, and for how long.
Note: Final legal wording, the data controller's details and retention periods must be confirmed by the dealership and its accountant before launch.

Account information

We store the company name, business ID, address and the contact person's name, email and phone number to operate your bidder account, send auction notifications and fulfil sales. The business ID is checked against the Finnish trade register (PRH open data).

Bids, purchases and audit records

Bids, results and purchases are tied to your company. Every bid, award, revocation, account freeze and staff access to bids is logged with user and time. Audit records cannot be edited and are kept for the legally required period.

Vehicle information

Vehicle history reports are shown without previous owners' personal data. Vehicle register lookups are logged for at least 24 months as required by Traficom.

Email

Transactional emails (verification, bid receipts, results, notifications) are sent in Finnish or English per your preference and logged with delivery status. Optional reminder emails can be switched off in My account.

Your rights

Contact persons may request an export or deletion of their personal data, except records the law requires us to keep (sale and bid records). Use the contact page to make a request.

Security

Connections are encrypted, passwords are hashed, sign-in is rate limited and sessions expire. Staff accounts are expected to use two-factor authentication.
