Privacy policy

This site has no accounts. The only details it keeps on its server are the requests you send through its forms. The specifics:

What stays in your browser

• Saved cars and your compare shortlist are stored only in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device unless you share a link yourself.
• Attribution (e.g. UTM tags from a campaign) may be stored locally so an enquiry you send carries its source.

When you contact a seller or gCar

• Enquiries are sent through WhatsApp or Telegram when you tap a button — at which point your message and phone number are shared with the recipient (the seller, or gCar), governed by those apps’ own privacy terms.
• Every request form on this site — free car selection, sell your car, trade-in, finance, inspection, export and report a listing — sends what you type to the gCar team: the request is stored on our server, e-mailed to the team and sent to the gCar Telegram bot, so we can contact you about it. We keep it for up to 24 months, never sell it, and delete it on request. If our server cannot be reached, the form offers the same request as a ready WhatsApp message instead.

Analytics

We use Yandex Metrica on every page to understand how the site is used: pages viewed, time on site, device, approximate location derived from the IP address, clicks and scrolling. Its Webvisor tool replays mouse movements, clicks and scrolling without what you type into form fields, and Metrica sets _ym_* cookies for up to one year. Google Analytics also runs on every page and collects similar pseudonymous usage data (pages viewed, device, approximate location, clicks on contact buttons) and sets _ga cookies for up to two years. Analytics never receive the contents of your enquiries.

Your choices

Clear your saved cars and shortlist any time from the Saved and Compare pages, or by clearing your browser storage. Questions? Reach the gCar team directly:
