Privacy Policy

Home Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us at AutoVerkoop.eu . We are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring transparency in how we collect, use, and share it.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your information when using our website or services.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

1. Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the following:

The name, email address, and message provided in the comment form.
Your IP address and browser user agent string — used to help detect spam.
An anonymized version of your email address (hash) may be sent to third-party services like Gravatar to check if you have an account. You can view Gravatar’s Privacy Policy here .

Once approved, your profile picture will appear publicly alongside your comment.

2. Media Uploads

If you upload images or other media to AutoVerkoop.eu, please avoid uploading files that contain embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS data). Visitors to the site can download and extract this data from uploaded files.

We recommend removing any sensitive metadata before uploading media.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website.

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t need to re-enter them next time.
These cookies last for one year.
Users who log in will receive temporary cookies to verify browser compatibility with cookies, and longer-term cookies to store login details and screen preferences.
Login cookies last up to two days, and screen preference cookies last up to one year.
If you select “Remember Me,” your login cookie will persist for two weeks.
Editing or publishing an article sets a cookie to track the post ID — it expires after 1 day and contains no personal data.

You can manage or delete cookies via your browser settings at any time.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles or pages on AutoVerkoop.eu may include embedded content such as videos, maps, or images from external websites.

Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with their content — especially if you are logged into their service.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments: When you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically approve follow-up comments without moderation.
User Accounts: Registered users have their personal data stored in their profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information anytime (except your username). Website administrators also have access to edit or remove user data.
Contact Form Submissions: Messages sent through contact forms may be retained for support and quality purposes unless otherwise requested.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: You can ask us to update or correct any inaccurate information.
Deletion: You can request deletion of your personal data where applicable.
Object: You may object to certain types of data processing under some legal frameworks.

Where We Send Your Data

Spam Detection: Comments may be checked using automated spam detection tools.
Third Parties: We may share data with trusted third-party services (e.g., analytics platforms or customer support tools), but only to the extent necessary for providing our services.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
