Free Market Automotives respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit our website, create or submit a vehicle listing, contact a seller, contact us, or otherwise use the Free Market Automotives platform.
Free Market Automotives is designed as a private-party vehicle listing website where individuals can list vehicles for sale online. We do not use artificial intelligence to create hidden buyer profiles, manipulate pricing, score sellers, or track users across the internet. We do not use invasive third-party advertising trackers, third-party retargeting pixels, or data-selling systems.

We do not use artificial intelligence to evaluate your identity, predict your financial status, set secret pricing, manipulate listings, or profile users across the internet.
We do not use third-party retargeting pixels to follow visitors after they leave the website.
We do not collect unnecessary sensitive personal information beyond what is reasonably needed to operate the platform, verify sellers, protect users, prevent fraud, and maintain listing integrity.
3. How We Use Information
We may use the information we collect to:
Create, review, approve, edit, publish, manage, or remove vehicle listings

Help confirm that a seller has authority to list a vehicle
Respond to buyer, seller, and visitor inquiries
Operate user accounts and website features

Prevent spam, scams, fake listings, stolen vehicle listings, title fraud, impersonation, and misuse of the website
Maintain business records
Improve website performance, layout, usability, and security
Comply with legal obligations or lawful requests
Submitting a vehicle listing does not guarantee approval, publication, sale, buyer interest, or a specific sale price.
4. Seller Identity and Vehicle Verification
Because Free Market Automotives allows private individuals to list vehicles for sale, we may request information needed to verify a seller, vehicle, or listing.
This may include a government ID, vehicle title, registration, VIN, odometer reading, lien or payoff information, vehicle photos, or other information related to ownership and listing accuracy.
We use this information only for legitimate platform purposes, including fraud prevention, seller verification, listing review, dispute review, legal compliance, and user protection.
5. Public Listing Information
When a seller submits a vehicle listing and the listing is approved, certain information may be shown publicly on the website.
Public listing information may include:
Vehicle year, make, model, trim, VIN or partial VIN if displayed
Mileage
Vehicle location or general location
Photos and videos
Seller-provided description
Known issues
Service history
Ownership history
Modifications
Title status
Listing price, reserve, auction-style details, or sale terms if applicable
Seller display name or other public seller information approved for display
Do not include private information in listing descriptions, photos, or comments that you do not want shown publicly.
6. Buyer and Seller Communications
Free Market Automotives may allow buyers, sellers, and users to communicate about listed vehicles.
Communications submitted through the website may be reviewed or stored for platform operation, fraud prevention, dispute review, moderation, safety, recordkeeping, or legal compliance.
Users should not send unnecessary sensitive personal, financial, or identification information through public comments or unsecured messages.
7. Cookies and Basic Site Data
The website may use basic cookies or similar technologies needed for website function, login sessions, security, user preferences, spam prevention, and basic site performance.
Free Market Automotives does not use invasive third-party advertising trackers or third-party retargeting pixels.

Because vehicle listings may involve identity, ownership, and title information, users should provide only the information necessary for listing, verification, communication, or transaction purposes.
10. Data Retention
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for platform operation, customer service, seller verification, listing records, fraud prevention, dispute review, accounting, legal compliance, and business recordkeeping.
