Privacy Policy
Effective July 5, 2026 · How we collect, use and protect your information.
TopChinaCar ("we") is an independent editorial publication about Chinese automobiles that also connects dealers, fleets and importers with licensed Chinese vehicle exporters. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, why, and the choices you have. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect
Quote inquiries (the "Get a Quote" form): name, company (optional), email, WhatsApp/phone (optional), destination market, quantity, models of interest and your message.
Newsletter: your email address only.
Analytics: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookie-less and aggregates anonymous performance data (page views, country, browser). We do not run advertising trackers and we do not build visitor profiles.
Local storage: your language preference (EN/中文) is stored in your browser only.
How we use it
Quote details are used solely to source availability and pricing for your request. To do that, we share them with the licensed Chinese exporter(s) needed to prepare your quote — and with no one else. We never sell your data.
Newsletter addresses are used only to send the briefing you subscribed to. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
Service providers
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages; form submissions and email are processed via Resend. Both act as processors on our behalf. Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, protected by the standard safeguards those providers offer.
Retention
Quote inquiries are kept for up to 24 months so we can follow up on your request, then deleted. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw consent at any time by emailing [email protected]. We respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live (e.g. the EU/EEA or UK under GDPR), you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Cookies
We set no advertising or profiling cookies. Cloudflare may set strictly-necessary cookies for security (e.g. bot protection). Your language choice lives in localStorage, not a cookie.
Changes
We will post any changes to this policy on this page with a new effective date.
