Privacy Policy

Who this applies to

This policy covers the Supercharged Motors website, mobile applications, and related APIs. By creating an account, listing a vehicle, contacting a seller, publishing a showroom or service, submitting a help request, or otherwise using our services, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

The information we collect depends on how you use Supercharged Motors:

• Account details: phone number, email address, display name, city, account type (individual or showroom), showroom name, owner name, and profile photo. Sign-in is handled by Firebase Authentication. If you register with a referral code, we store that code with your signup.
• Listings and photos: vehicle details, photos, price, location, and other information you submit when you sell a car. Before a listing goes live we review it. Where a photo shows a license plate, we may burn a plate stamp into the image used in the public gallery. Staff reviewing the listing can see the original photos. The public gallery shows the stamped image when a stamp was applied; a photo marked as having no plate may appear without one. If you change gallery or damage photos on a listing that is live or in review, it returns to review and leaves the public site until it is approved again.
• VIN: if you add a vehicle identification number, we store it to support trust and verification, including a basic format check. On a public listing we usually show only the last four characters. The full VIN is visible to you as the listing owner, to admins reviewing the listing, and to other people only if the listing is set to broader public visibility.
• Messages and bids: in-app messages, bid amounts, and related contact details you share with other users.
• Wallet and referrals: your referral code, which new account was invited with it, and a wallet ledger of credits and gifts (such as a referral gift, credit used toward a listing fee, and expiry). We also keep the checks used to limit abuse, such as blocking a self-referral or a second gift for the same phone number. Wallet credit can be used on Supercharged Motors. It is not cash, and it cannot be withdrawn or transferred as money.
• Showrooms, charging map, and services: business name, city, description, and contact details (such as a phone number) included in a published showroom directory entry, EV charging-station listing, or car-service offering. Service offerings you submit are reviewed before they are shown publicly.
• Help and lead requests: name, email, WhatsApp number, and the reason you contacted us.
• Payments: if you pay for a listing or a boost, we record order status and references. Card payments are processed by N-Genius; we do not store full card numbers. An eligible listing fee can also be paid with wallet credit.
• Notifications: on the app we store a Firebase Cloud Messaging device token so we can deliver push alerts. We keep an in-app inbox for those alerts, including when a listing is approved, rejected, or returned for a plate-stamp review. Messages and bids are kept in the in-app message inbox.
• Device and usage: pages and screens you view, general device information, and approximate location derived from IP. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization.
• Security: Cloudflare Turnstile (website) or Firebase App Check (app) to reduce automated abuse.
• Preferences stored on your device or account: language, theme, whether you dismissed the help widget, and notification choices such as price or new-match alerts.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the marketplace, including listings, search, comparison, messages, directories, and your account.
• Review listings and photos, apply plate stamps before a listing goes live, and return a listing to review when its photos change.
• Use a VIN you provide for trust checks. Public viewers usually see only the last four characters. The owner, admins, and anyone viewing a listing set to broader visibility can see the full number.
• Verify accounts, prevent fraud and spam, attribute referral invites, and limit referral abuse.
• Keep your wallet balance and ledger. Credit is for fees on Supercharged Motors, not a cash payout.
• Process listing and boost payments, including wallet credit when you choose it, and send related receipts or status updates.
• Respond to support requests and follow up on help-widget submissions.
• Deliver the alerts you choose, plus push notifications and an in-app inbox when a listing is approved, rejected, or sent back for a plate-stamp review. Messages and bids stay in the in-app message inbox.
• Publish showroom, charging-station, and service entries, including contact details included in them.
• Understand how the service is used so we can improve it (analytics).
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run the service:

• Other users: public listing information (such as vehicle details, city, seller display name, and gallery photos, which may be plate-stamped). A VIN on a public listing is usually limited to the last four characters unless that listing is set to show more. Phone numbers are shared when you choose to be contacted, when a buyer uses in-app contact features, or when a phone number is part of a published showroom, service, or charging-station entry.
• Our team: staff who review listings can see original photos and the full VIN when you provided one, along with other details needed to approve, reject, or stamp a listing.
• Service providers: Firebase (authentication, notifications, and related Google services), Cloudflare (hosting, image storage, and bot protection), Google Analytics, and N-Genius (payments).
• Legal and safety: if required by law, or to protect users, our rights, or the integrity of the marketplace.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website uses essential storage for sign-in, language, and theme. Google Analytics may set cookies to measure traffic, with IP anonymization enabled. You can block analytics cookies in your browser; the site will still work. The mobile app uses similar on-device storage for preferences and authentication.

Retention

We keep account, listing, message, payment, wallet, and support records for as long as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and meet legal or accounting requirements. Original listing photos used for plate-stamp review are kept for moderation and are not what the public gallery shows when a stamp was applied.

You can delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete account). That removes your sign-in and profile, your chats, support requests you opened, service offerings you submitted, and the device tokens we use for push alerts. Draft listings are deleted. Listings that are live or waiting for review are taken off the marketplace, and your name, phone, showroom name, and profile photo are removed from your listings. Sold, rejected, or already closed listings may remain without those contact details. Some records may still be kept where we have a legitimate need — for example completed payment references, or wallet and referral ledger entries used for accounting and abuse prevention. A published showroom or charging-station directory entry is managed separately from your account and may stay visible until it is unpublished. Contact us if you need that entry taken down. Deletion is permanent.

Your choices

You can update your profile and notification preferences in account settings. You can sign out at any time, and you can delete your account from the app. To request access or correction of your personal information, or deletion if you cannot use the in-app flow, contact us using the help widget on scmiraq.com. We may need to verify that the request comes from the account holder.

Children

Supercharged Motors is not directed at children. You must be old enough under applicable law to enter a contract. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

International processing

Our providers (including Google/Firebase, Cloudflare, and N-Genius) may process data on servers outside Iraq. By using Supercharged Motors you understand that your information may be transferred to and stored in those locations, with safeguards those providers apply.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of Supercharged Motors after an update means you accept the revised policy.
