Privacy policy
How Bimmer-Bids handles your data. Last updated August 2026.
What we collect
Account details you provide (name, email), listing content (photos, descriptions, VINs, title documents), bids, comments, and support tickets. We also store basic technical data such as your browser type for security and debugging.
Cookies and browser storage
We use essential cookies and browser storage only: to keep you signed in, secure your session, and remember preferences like cookie consent. We do not use third-party advertising trackers or sell your data.
How we use your data
To run the marketplace: authenticating you, publishing your listings and bids, notifying you about auction activity, processing fees, and moderating the platform. Title documents are stored privately and visible only to you and site administrators.
Third-party services
We rely on infrastructure providers for hosting, database, authentication (including Google, Apple, and Microsoft sign-in), payment processing, and email delivery. These providers process data only as needed to deliver their services to us.
Your rights
You may request a copy, correction, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us through the in-site support tool. Deleting your account removes your profile, though completed auction records may be retained for legal and accounting purposes.
Data retention & security
We retain data for as long as your account is active or as needed to operate and defend the marketplace. Access is protected with row-level security, encrypted transport, and restricted administrative access.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be announced on the site before they take effect.
