Privacy policy
Last updated 18 Oct 2026
We collect as little as possible. No ads, no tracking, and we never sell or share your data.
Without an account
You can use the whole site without signing in. Your watchlist is then stored only in your browser (local storage) and never sent to us.
With an account (optional)
- We store your email address, your watchlist and the price alerts you set.
- Sign-in uses a one-time email link that expires after 15 minutes; there is no password.
- A single session cookie (
cmc_session, 30 days) keeps you signed in. It is strictly necessary and not used for tracking. - Account data is stored in a Redis database run by Upstash.
Emails and newsletter
Sign-in links and price alerts are sent from alerts@carsmarketcap.io through Resend. If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is kept in our Resend audience. Every alert and newsletter email contains an unsubscribe link.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Vercel, which processes technical request data (such as IP address) to serve pages and protect against abuse. We do not use advertising or third-party analytics trackers.
Your rights
You can delete your account and all its data at any time from the Account page; deletion is immediate. For any other request (access, correction, deletion, newsletter removal), write to contact@carsmarketcap.io.
