3. Legal Bases and Consent

We process personal data to perform our contract with you, for legitimate business interests, to comply with legal obligations, and based on consent where required. Where processing depends on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party providers to operate our services, including payment processors, analytics providers, email delivery tools, and cloud infrastructure providers. These providers process data under their own privacy terms and are expected to maintain appropriate security controls.

5. Free Tools and Data

Our free tools — including the Nigeria Car Import Cost Calculator and the Affordable Car Finder — do not require an account or any personal information to use.

• Affordable Car Finder: When you complete the wizard, your anonymous search preferences — budget range, use case, fuel type, and timeline — are saved to our database. This data helps us understand what buyers are actually looking for so we can improve our inventory and marketing. No name, email, IP address, or device fingerprint is stored alongside these preferences. No individual user profile is built.
• Import Cost Calculator: Inputs you enter (such as car price and source country) are used only to compute your result within your current session and are not transmitted to or stored by Aladi Autos.
• Standard technical data (such as IP address and device type) may be collected by analytics tools when you visit a tools page, consistent with section 6 of this policy.
• Tool outputs are estimates only and do not constitute a quote or guarantee.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed for service delivery, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and record keeping. Retention periods vary by data type and legal obligation.

7. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal data. No internet transmission or storage system is fully guaranteed secure, but we continuously improve controls to reduce risk.

8. Your Rights

• Request access to personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion, subject to legal and operational limits.
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
• Unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time.

9. International Data Transfers

Where data is processed outside your country, we take reasonable steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place and processing is handled lawfully.

10. Policy Updates

We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
