Make, model, year, odometer reading, registration number, photographs, description and asking price.
Purpose: To publish your listing and let dealers and buyers evaluate it.

3.Consent and lawful basis
We process your data on the basis of the consent you give when you create an account and when you submit a listing, bid or booking, and for the legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act — such as responding to a request you have made, and complying with a legal obligation.
You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to TODO_PRIVACY_EMAIL. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out, and may mean we can no longer provide parts of the service.
4.What other users can see
A published listing is public. Anyone visiting XMotor can see the vehicle details, photographs, asking price, city and how long it has been listed.
