Plain-language summary: ClearlyAuto is a simple listing platform. We collect only what you choose to submit when posting a vehicle. We do not require accounts, track your browsing with cookies, sell your data, or work with advertising networks. Contact details you submit in a listing are displayed publicly so buyers can reach you.
ClearlyAuto ("we," "us," or "our") is a free online auto marketplace operating at www.clearlyauto.com. The Site is owned and operated by a private individual. ClearlyAuto provides a platform where private sellers may list vehicles for sale and private buyers may browse those listings and contact sellers directly.
For privacy-related questions or requests, please contact us at info@clearlyauto.com.
We collect only the information that you voluntarily choose to provide when you submit a vehicle listing through the Site. This includes:
We do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide a name to submit a listing or browse the Site.
ClearlyAuto does not collect, store, or process any of the following:
The information you submit when posting a listing is used solely for the following purposes:
We do not sell, rent, trade, share, or otherwise transfer your information to any third party for marketing, advertising, or any commercial purpose.
Important: All information you submit in a vehicle listing — including your email address, phone number, vehicle details, location, and photos — is displayed publicly on the Site without restriction.
Any person visiting the Site can see your listing and its contents, including your contact information. Do not submit any information in a listing that you do not wish to be publicly visible to anyone on the internet.
ClearlyAuto does not control how visitors use or share the information displayed in public listings, and we are not responsible for any unsolicited contact you may receive as a result of your listing being publicly visible.
Photos you upload as part of a listing are stored on the Site's server and displayed publicly as part of your listing. By uploading a photo, you confirm that you own or have the right to use and share that image, and you grant ClearlyAuto a license to display it on the Site as part of your listing.
Photos are stored for as long as your listing remains on the Site. When a listing is removed, associated photos are eligible for deletion as well. To request photo removal, contact us at info@clearlyauto.com.
ClearlyAuto uses a small number of third-party services to operate the Site:
We do not integrate with any social media platforms, advertising networks, payment processors, or analytics services.
Listing data — including your vehicle details, contact information, and photos — is retained on the Site for as long as the listing remains active. There is currently no automatic expiration for listings.
If you wish to have your listing and associated data removed, please contact us at info@clearlyauto.com with your listing details. We will process removal requests as soon as reasonably practicable, typically within a few business days.
Because ClearlyAuto does not require accounts or maintain user profiles, most traditional data subject rights (such as account deletion or data portability) do not apply in the usual sense. However, you do have the following options:
If you are a resident of a state with specific consumer privacy laws (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or similar statutes), and you believe those laws apply to your interaction with this Site, please contact us at info@clearlyauto.com and we will respond to your inquiry in good faith.
ClearlyAuto is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Use of this Site to submit listings requires the user to be at least 18 years of age, as stated in our Terms of Service.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we have received information from a child under 13, please contact us at info@clearlyauto.com.
ClearlyAuto takes reasonable technical precautions to protect the information stored on the Site, including HTTPS encryption for all connections and restricted access to the server-side data store. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
Because listing contact information is displayed publicly by design, please be mindful of the information you choose to include in your listing. We recommend using an email address or phone number that you are comfortable sharing publicly.
We cannot guarantee the security of information once it has been displayed publicly and accessed by third parties.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way we handle information, please contact us at:
