Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 July 2026
CarsJapan Cyprus ("we") operates carsjapan.cy. This page explains what personal data we collect, why, and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect and why
When you send an enquiry, request an import cost, ask for an arrival alert, or unlock vehicle documents, we collect your name, mobile number, and optionally your email and message. We use these details only to reply to your enquiry and arrange the service you asked for. We do not add you to marketing lists and we never sell your data.
We also record the IP address of form submissions. This is used solely for spam and abuse protection (rate limiting and blocklists) — a legitimate interest under GDPR Art. 6(1)(f).
Third-party services
- Google reCAPTCHA protects our forms from bots. Google may process technical data under its own privacy policy.
- Analytics: we use self-hosted, cookieless Umami analytics. It collects no personal data and does not track you across sites.
- WhatsApp: if you choose to contact us on WhatsApp, Meta's terms and privacy policy apply to that conversation.
Cookies and local storage
We set no advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser's local storage is used only to remember small preferences (for example, documents you have already unlocked or a dismissed reminder).
Retention
Enquiry records are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and meet legal obligations, then deleted.
Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time. Contact us on WhatsApp and we will action it promptly. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Cyprus.
