1. Introduction
EVtoU.com ("we," "us," or "our") operates an independent platform that connects global buyers and dealers with right-hand drive (RHD) electric vehicle sourcing channels in China. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit our website or submit an inquiry.
By using our website, forms, or communication channels (including WhatsApp and email), you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not submit personal data through our services.

3. How We Use Your Information

- Coordinate export logistics information relevant to your request
- Improve our website, content, and user experience

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA / UK Visitors)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process personal data on the basis of:
- Contractual necessity — to respond to inquiries you initiate
- Legitimate interests — to operate and improve our sourcing platform
- Consent — where required for optional marketing or non-essential cookies
- Legal obligation — where applicable law requires retention or disclosure
5. Sharing and Disclosure
We may share information with:
- Service providers — hosting, analytics, email, and communication tools that process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations
- Sourcing partners — manufacturers, authorized dealers, or logistics providers in China, only to the extent needed to fulfill your specific inquiry
- Legal authorities — when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and users
We are an independent sourcing platform and are not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer. Sharing with OEM or dealer channels is limited to facilitating your request, not for unrelated commercial use.
6. International Data Transfers
Our team operates from China (Guangzhou, Beijing, and Wuhan). If you access our services from outside China, your information may be transferred to and processed in China and other countries where our providers operate. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards where required by applicable law.
7. Data Retention
We retain inquiry and communication records for as long as necessary to fulfill your request, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal requirements — typically up to three (3) years after last contact unless a longer period is required by law or ongoing transaction needs.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar tools to:
- Enable essential site functionality and security
- Remember preferences where applicable

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. Where required, we will request consent before placing non-essential cookies.
