Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Apni Cars handles personal data when you browse our website, create or use an account, submit an enquiry, request a test drive, ask for a quote or otherwise communicate with us.

Apni Cars is an automotive research and discovery platform based in Jaipur, Rajasthan. References to “we”, “us” and “our” in this policy mean Apni Cars.

We collect only information connected with providing, securing and improving the platform.

• Information you provide: name, email address, phone number, city, account details, shortlisted vehicle preferences and the contents of your enquiry.
• Lead and service information: model or variant interest, preferred dealer location, financing or insurance interest, and other details you choose to submit.
• Technical information: IP address, browser and device details, approximate location derived from network information, referral URL, pages viewed and diagnostic logs.
• Stored preferences: theme, filters, comparison choices and similar settings kept through cookies or local browser storage.
• Partner information: status or response information received from a dealer or service provider after you ask us to connect you.

• Operate searches, comparisons, saved preferences and account features.
• Respond to questions and process requests for quotes, test drives or related services.
• Connect you with a relevant dealer or service provider when you specifically request it.
• Maintain platform security, prevent misuse and troubleshoot technical problems.
• Understand aggregate usage and improve content, navigation and performance.
• Send service messages and, where you have chosen to receive them, relevant updates or alerts.
• Meet applicable legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Where processing depends on your consent, we aim to explain the data requested and the purpose at the point of collection. You may decline optional fields or withdraw consent for future processing by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully.

You can unsubscribe from promotional communication using the option provided in the message or by writing to us. Essential service and security messages may still be sent when necessary.

We do not sell personal data. Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with:

• Authorised dealers, manufacturers, lenders, insurers or other providers selected for an enquiry you initiate.
• Hosting, analytics, communication, security and technical vendors acting for us under appropriate safeguards.
• Professional advisers, regulators, courts or law-enforcement bodies where disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect rights and safety.
• A successor organisation in connection with a genuine restructuring or transfer, subject to applicable safeguards.

A partner receiving your information may process it under its own privacy policy. Review that policy before completing a transaction with the partner.

Apni Cars may use essential cookies or local storage to retain settings, keep sessions secure and make core features work. Analytics technologies may be used where enabled to understand performance and aggregate usage.

You can restrict browser storage through your browser settings. Some preferences or signed-in functionality may stop working as expected after doing so.

We retain personal data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the stated purpose, legal obligations, dispute handling, fraud prevention and legitimate record keeping. Retention periods vary according to the type of record and the service involved.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect data. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Subject to applicable law and its commencement schedule, you may request access to a summary of personal data processed about you, correction or updating of inaccurate data, erasure where retention is no longer required, withdrawal of consent and grievance redressal.

To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Send privacy requests to contact@apnicars.com.

The platform is intended for people capable of making or researching vehicle-related decisions and is not designed to knowingly collect personal data from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted data may contact us for review.

Our pages may link to dealer, manufacturer, government or other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are outside our control.

We may revise this policy when our services or applicable requirements change. The current version and update date will remain available on this page.

For privacy questions or grievances, contact the Apni Cars Privacy Desk at contact@apnicars.com or write to us at Jaipur, Rajasthan 302001. Please describe your request clearly and include a reliable way for us to respond.
