OverDrivr Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 30, 2026

OverDrivr ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services (the "Platform"), in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and British Columbia's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), where applicable.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • Name, email address, phone number, and password when you create an account
  • Profile information, including account type (Buyer/Private Seller, Dealer, Salesperson)
  • Vehicle listing details, photos, and pricing you submit
  • Messages you send to other users through the Platform
  • Payment information, if you purchase paid features (processed by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card details)

Information collected automatically:

  • IP address, browser type, device information
  • Usage data (pages visited, search queries, listings viewed)
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 5)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • Create and manage your account
  • Display your listings and facilitate communication between buyers and sellers
  • Verify identity and prevent fraud or abuse of the messaging system
  • Process payments for paid features
  • Send you service-related communications (e.g., account notifications, security alerts)
  • Send optional marketing communications (only with your consent, and you may opt out at any time)
  • Improve and analyze the performance of the Platform
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:

  • With other users, as necessary to facilitate a transaction (e.g., your listing contact details are visible to interested buyers; messages are shared with the recipient)
  • With service providers, such as hosting (e.g., cloud infrastructure providers), payment processors, and analytics providers, who are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify
  • For legal reasons, if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of OverDrivr, our users, or the public
  • In a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and understand how the Platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some Platform functionality.

6. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal or contractual retention requirements
  • Withdraw consent for optional uses of your data (e.g., marketing emails)
  • File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your provincial privacy regulator

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@overdrivr.com.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed at individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

9. Cross-Border Data Storage

Your information may be stored or processed by service providers located outside of Canada (e.g., cloud infrastructure providers). Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure a comparable level of protection is maintained, consistent with PIPEDA requirements.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the Platform or email. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

11. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, contact us at: info@overdrivr.com

This document is a general starting template and does not constitute legal advice. OverDrivr should have this reviewed by a licensed lawyer familiar with PIPEDA and BC's PIPA before public launch, particularly regarding data handling practices, third-party processors, and cross-border storage specifics once your infrastructure (e.g., Supabase region) is finalized.
