• Operate and maintain the website
• Create and manage user accounts
• Publish and manage vehicle listings
• Review listings for quality and compliance
• Reduce scam, spam, and misleading content
• Display your saved listings
• Track basic listing performance
• Respond to support and contact requests

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Auto-Hub uses essential cookies and local storage to keep users logged in, remember basic preferences, and maintain site functionality. We may use limited analytics or local storage if implemented. Users can control cookies through their browser settings. Disabling cookies may break login or some features. If non-essential analytics or advertising cookies are added in the future, this policy and the cookie notice will be updated.

5. Listing Visibility

Public listings may display vehicle details, photos, price, approximate location, seller profile or business information, and the listing logbook. Do not post information in a listing that you do not want to be publicly visible.

6. Sharing of Information

Auto-Hub does not sell personal information. We may share information only as needed to operate the site, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, or through trusted service providers. Communication through external platforms such as Facebook is handled by that platform under its own privacy practices.

7. Data Retention

We keep data as long as necessary for operation, security, audit, moderation, legal, or business purposes. Sold and archived listing data may remain visible by direct link. Users can contact Auto-Hub with questions about account or listing data.

8. Security

Auto-Hub uses reasonable safeguards to protect data. However, no website can guarantee perfect security. Users should also protect their account credentials.

9. Children and Minors

Auto-Hub is intended for users who can lawfully use vehicle listing services. Users who are not permitted to use the site should not submit personal information.

10. User Choices

You can:

• Update your account and listing information
• Delete or remove listings where the feature is available
• Control cookies through your browser settings
• Contact Auto-Hub with privacy-related questions
