Privacy Policy

Personal data we process

MyMotorLife processes account and authentication details, profile choices, vehicle information, posts, comments, media, follows, clubs, reports, communications and security-related technical records. When you use Google sign-in, we receive the account information needed to authenticate you. Translation requests may include the user-provided text submitted for translation.

Purposes and legal bases

We process data to create and operate your account, provide vehicle and community features, apply your visibility choices and deliver requested functions under our contract with you. We use legitimate interests to secure, maintain and improve the service, prevent abuse, handle reports and produce limited first-party service analytics. We process data to comply with legal obligations where required and rely on consent only where it is specifically requested.

Public content

Content you mark public can be viewed, shared and indexed by search engines. Restricted content is shown only according to its selected visibility and access rules. Do not publish personal data that you do not have the right to share.

Service providers and international transfers

Hosting, database, authentication, email, translation and other technical providers process data only as needed to operate MyMotorLife. Current providers include OVHcloud, Supabase and Google services. Processing may occur outside Finland or the European Economic Area; where required, transfers are protected using an adequacy decision, contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism.

Retention

Account and content data is normally retained while the account or content remains active. Following a verified deletion request, active account data is removed or anonymised within 30 days unless limited retention is required by law, security, fraud prevention, unresolved reports or discussion integrity. Deleted data may remain in secured backups for up to 90 days before normal backup rotation removes it. Security, abuse-prevention, report and legal records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for their purpose or applicable legal obligations.

Product analytics and cookies

MyMotorLife uses limited first-party product analytics for aggregated activity, reliability and retention measurements. We do not currently use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking or device fingerprinting. Authentication and security storage that is strictly necessary for the service may be used without a separate marketing-cookie choice.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing. You may withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. You can edit content and visibility in the service or request account deletion through Account and data deletion.

We acknowledge support and privacy requests within two business days where practicable. We respond to requests concerning data-subject rights without undue delay and no later than one month after receipt and any necessary identity verification. For a complex request, this period may be extended by up to two additional months; we will explain the extension within the first month.

Automated decisions

MyMotorLife does not currently make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means. Machine translations and any future AI-assisted information are not treated as verified vehicle-history facts.

Complaints and contact

Send privacy and account requests to support@mymotorlife.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman or the supervisory authority in your country of residence.
