Wheels In Deals (“Wheels In Deals”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates wheelsindeals.com as an online multi-vendor marketplace that connects independent sellers with buyers of automotive, RC, parts, accessories, and related products. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit the website, create an account, register as a seller, list or purchase products, submit reviews, contact us, or otherwise use the marketplace.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the marketplace, we may collect information such as your name, username, email address, telephone number, billing and shipping addresses, account preferences, seller/store information, product listings, order history, reviews, support requests, and other information you choose to provide.

When you browse or transact on the marketplace, technical and transactional information may also be processed, including IP address, browser and device information, cookies, login activity, products and stores viewed, cart activity, order details, shipping information, payment status, and information used to detect fraud, abuse, or security threats.

2. Buyers and Orders

When you place an order, we may process information required to create and administer the order, arrange or support delivery, provide customer support, handle disputes or complaints, maintain transaction records, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable legal obligations. This may include your contact details, billing and shipping information, the products purchased, transaction amounts, and order status.

3. Sellers and Vendor Accounts

Sellers may be required to provide account, identity, contact, store, payout, product, and other information reasonably necessary to operate a seller account, verify the seller where required, administer listings and orders, prevent misuse, and comply with marketplace or legal requirements.

Wheels In Deals may limit the buyer information made available to sellers. Sellers should use any buyer or order information they receive only for legitimate marketplace order purposes and must not use it for unauthorized marketing, off-platform solicitation, or other unrelated purposes.

4. Payments

Payments may be processed through third-party payment service providers. Depending on the payment method, those providers may receive information necessary to process or support a transaction, such as transaction amount, billing information, contact information, and payment-related identifiers. Wheels In Deals does not claim to store complete payment-card credentials unless expressly indicated during the payment process.

5. How We Use Information

Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the marketplace.
Create and manage buyer and seller accounts.
Process and administer orders, payments, shipping, and marketplace services.
Send account, order, security, seller, review, and service notifications.
Respond to support requests, complaints, disputes, and permitted refund requests.
Detect and investigate fraud, illegal activity, prohibited listings, abuse, and security incidents.
Enforce marketplace policies and protect users, sellers, Wheels In Deals, and third parties.
Meet accounting, tax, regulatory, and other legal obligations.
Send marketing communications where you have consented or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

6. Reviews, Comments, and User Content

If you submit a review, comment, listing, store profile, image, or other content, information associated with that content may be stored and, where intended by the feature, displayed publicly. Technical information such as IP address and browser information may be processed for spam, fraud, moderation, and security purposes.

If you upload images, avoid including unnecessary embedded location information (such as EXIF GPS data), because publicly accessible images may expose embedded metadata.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Wheels In Deals and its underlying WordPress, WooCommerce, Dokan, security, payment, and related services may use cookies or similar technologies to maintain sessions, remember login and display preferences, preserve shopping-cart contents, support checkout, improve functionality, measure site performance, and protect the marketplace against fraud and abuse. You can control many cookies through your browser settings, although disabling necessary cookies may prevent parts of the marketplace from working correctly.

8. Who We Share Information With

We may disclose only the information reasonably necessary to parties that help operate or support the marketplace, including payment processors, hosting and infrastructure providers, shipping or delivery providers, security and fraud-prevention services, email and notification providers, analytics or technical service providers, professional advisers, and competent authorities where disclosure is legally required.

Relevant order information may also be made available to the seller involved in a transaction where necessary to administer that transaction. We may restrict seller access to buyer information based on marketplace operations, security, privacy, and fraud-prevention requirements.

9. Embedded and Third-Party Services

The website may contain embedded content or integrations provided by third parties. Those services may collect information, set cookies, or process your interaction according to their own privacy practices. Their handling of information is governed by their respective policies where they act independently of Wheels In Deals.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including operating accounts and orders, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and abuse, maintaining business and transaction records, and satisfying legal, tax, accounting, security, or regulatory requirements. Retention periods may therefore differ depending on the type of information and the applicable requirements.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the law applicable to your information, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or a copy of certain personal information, and to object to or withdraw consent for certain processing. Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, security, or other legitimate purposes.

12. International Processing

Because the marketplace may use service providers or infrastructure located in different countries, personal information may be processed outside your country of residence. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will rely on appropriate lawful mechanisms or safeguards applicable to the relevant processing.

13. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information and the marketplace against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, and disclosure. No online service or storage system can guarantee absolute security, and users are responsible for protecting their account credentials and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized account activity.

14. Fraud, Abuse, and Legal Compliance

We may use account, transaction, device, network, listing, communication, and related information to investigate suspected fraud, prohibited or illegal goods, stolen goods, unauthorized transactions, marketplace abuse, security incidents, or violations of our policies. Information may be preserved or disclosed where reasonably necessary to protect users or the marketplace, establish or defend legal claims, or comply with lawful requests and applicable law.

15. Children’s Privacy

The marketplace is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where parental or guardian consent would be required under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our marketplace, technology, service providers, or legal obligations change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page identifies the latest revision. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or other appropriate channels where required.
