Privacy Policy
Last updated November 13, 2026
This explains what Revline collects when you use Revline, why, who else sees it, and what you can do about it. We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t use advertising trackers.
What we collect
| Account | Username, email, password (stored only as a secure hash), and optionally your name, phone, state and address. |
|---|---|
| Verification | Your phone number and, when required, photos of your driver’s license or state ID. ID photos are stored privately, seen only by staff who review them, and you can ask us to delete them. |
| Activity | Your bids, offers, watchlist, saved searches, orders, messages to us, and comments. |
| Orders | Invoice details, shipping address, and payment status. We don’t store card or bank account numbers. |
| Visits | Pages viewed, counted without cookies: we store a daily-changing scrambled code made from your IP address and browser, so we can count visitors without being able to recognise you on another day. |
| AI questions | Questions you type into the AI assistant on a car page, and its answers. |
Why we use it
- To run your account, auctions, orders, payments, paperwork and delivery.
- To check that bidders are real people and keep the auctions fair (for example, to spot shill bidding or duplicate accounts).
- To send the alerts you ask for: outbid, ending soon, won, saved-search matches. You can turn emails off in your account settings.
- To answer you when you contact us, and to improve the site.
- To meet legal, tax and record-keeping duties.
Who else sees it
- The other side of your sale: when a car is sold, the buyer and seller get the details needed to complete it (such as name and pickup or delivery details).
- Service providers that work for us under contract: hosting, email delivery (Resend), and, if you use the AI assistant, Anthropic, which processes your question to write the answer. Transport carriers get pickup and delivery details when you ask us to arrange shipping.
- Authorities, when the law requires it, or to protect people from fraud or harm.
We don’t sell or rent personal information, and we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Cookies
We use a sign-in cookie and a few cookies for your preferences. Details and choices are on the Cookie Policy page.
How long we keep it
Account data is kept while your account is open. Order and payment records are kept as long as tax and vehicle-sale laws require. ID photos are kept only as long as needed for verification and fraud prevention, and deleted on request where the law allows. Visit counts can’t be linked back to you.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, download or delete your personal information. Residents of some states (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others) have these rights by law, and we offer them to everyone. We won’t treat you differently for using them. To make a request, contact our contact page; we may ask you to confirm it’s your account first. Some records (such as completed sale invoices) must be kept even after an account is closed.
Security
Passwords are hashed, connections are encrypted (HTTPS), and access to ID photos and admin tools is limited to staff who need it. No system is perfect: if we learn of a breach affecting you, we’ll tell you as the law requires.
Children
Revline is for adults. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
