3. How we collect and store data.

https://www.salesmate.io/best-crm-software/

We use Salesmate CRM to collect and store the data from the enquiries we receive via our website. We use Salesmate Web Forms to create the contact forms listed in ‘2. What we collect and why we collect it’, above. These Web Forms are directly linked to our CRM, which means no data is stored on our website and is instead passed directly to Salesmate.

4. We will not give away, rent or sell your data.

The data we collect through the website via Salesmate Web Forms will not be given away, rented or sold to any third parties. We use this data solely to aid us with the sale of our vehicles.

5. Using Plausible.io for website analytics

We are not interested in tracking individuals at all, we’re only using analytics to get a better idea of how our website is working.

We are using Plausible.io to collect aggregate data from website traffic. It is not possible to track individuals with Plausible. Instead we collect analytical data to establish an understanding of website usage that cannot be used to identify any individual person.

The following text is taken from Plausible (see reference link below).

  • No cookies and other persistent identifiers.
  • No connection to the adtech, and surveillance capitalism.
  • No personal data is collected, and all stats are in aggregate only.
  • No cross-site or cross-device tracking.
  • You [Basevan] 100% own your website data, and it isn’t sent to, shared with or sold to any third-parties.
  • Fully open source web analytics software that can be self-hosted.
