A Note Before We Begin
Your privacy matters to us. Not because we're required to say that, but because we genuinely believe trust is the foundation of every good transaction. When you share your information with Explicit Cars, you're trusting us to handle it carefully. This policy explains how we do that.
Who We Are
We're Explicit Cars, a Kolkata-based platform helping people buy and sell second-hand cars, including luxury and standard vehicles. You can also sell your car with us by simply entering your RC number on our website. We work with partners like CarTrade, CarDekho, and OLX to make sure your listing reaches the right buyers.
What Information We Collect
When you use our services, here's what we might ask for:
Your Basic Details: Name, email address, phone number, and sometimes address or ID proof. Nothing unusual—just what we need to verify you're a real person and not a bot trying to cause trouble.
Your Car's Information: If you're selling, you'll share your RC number, car details, and ownership history. This helps us give you an accurate estimate and find the right buyer.
Login Info: We use WhatsApp OTP for secure login and booking confirmations. It's simple, familiar, and keeps your account safe.
Payment Details: When you pay through Razorpay, they handle your card and banking information. We don't see or store it. That's between you and them.
Technical Stuff: Your IP address, browser type, how you navigate our site, and cookies. This helps us understand what's working and what needs improvement.
How We Actually Use Your Information
Let me walk you through exactly what happens with your data:
When you reach out about a car, your information helps us process your request and get back to you quickly.
When you log in with WhatsApp OTP, we're just making sure it's really you.
When you make a payment through Razorpay, we're ensuring your transaction is secure and properly recorded.
When we share leads with CarTrade, CarDekho, or OLX, it's because those partnerships help your car get seen by more potential buyers. We don't just hand over your details to anyone—these are trusted partners we've worked with for years.
When we send you booking confirmations or service updates, we're keeping you informed about things that actually matter to your transaction.
And when we look at usage data and cookies, we're trying to make our website better for the next person who visits.
Who We Share Your Information With
This is the part everyone worries about, so I'll be direct:
Razorpay gets your payment information, but only to process your transaction securely.
CarTrade, CarDekho, and OLX get relevant lead information when you're selling a car. This helps your listing reach more buyers.
Service providers who help us deliver WhatsApp OTPs and other operational needs get just enough information to do their job—nothing more.
Legal authorities if we're required by law. We don't want to, but if a court orders us to share information, we comply.
What we don't do: Sell your information to marketers. Rent it out to companies who want to spam you. Hand it over to anyone just because they asked nicely. Your data stays with us unless there's a legitimate reason to share it.
Keeping Your Information Safe
We take this seriously. Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption—that's the padlock you see in your browser bar. Payments go through Razorpay's secure gateway. Access to sensitive data is restricted to people who actually need it.
That said, I have to be honest with you: No system is 100% secure. Not ours, not Google's, not the government's. We do everything reasonably possible to protect your information, but we can't guarantee perfection. By using our services, you acknowledge that risk.
Cookies and Tracking
Yes, we use cookies. Not the delicious kind—the tiny data files kind. They help us remember your preferences, understand how people use our site, and make your experience smoother.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer. Some features might not work as well, but that's your choice and we respect it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
This is important: Your information belongs to you. Not us.
You can ask us what data we have about you. You can request corrections if something's wrong. You can withdraw consent for certain types of processing. You can even ask us to delete your data, though we may need to keep some information for legal or contractual reasons.
To exercise any of these rights, just email us at info@explicitcars.com. We're responsive, and we'll help.
Links to Other Websites
Our site contains links to CarTrade, CarDekho, OLX, and others. Once you click those links, you're on their turf. We're not responsible for their privacy practices, so we encourage you to read their policies too.
Updates to This Policy
Sometimes things change. If we update this policy, we'll post the changes here with a new "Last Updated" date. Checking back occasionally is a good habit, but we'll also try to notify you about significant changes.
Let's Connect If You Have Questions
Privacy policies can feel formal and intimidating. If you have questions—real questions, not legal jargon—please reach out. We're actual people in Kolkata who actually read these emails.
