AI Car is operated by Beijing Xinghang Zhicheng Technology Co., Ltd. (“we”, “us”). This Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect personal information when you use bycarai.com.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to AI Car website features including AI car selection, vehicle discovery, vehicle details, comparisons, sign-in, account entitlements, and optional purchase inquiries. Third-party services are governed by their own privacy notices.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Car-selection inputs such as budget, family needs, commute, usage scenarios, and preferences;
- Account information, including a phone number for Chinese SMS sign-in or Google account identifiers and authorized profile information for Google Sign-In;
- Optional contact consent, selected vehicles, and a purchase-needs summary;
- Support requests and information necessary to respond.
Do not submit unnecessary sensitive data such as government IDs, payment card numbers, passwords, verification codes, precise home addresses, or health data.
Information collected automatically
- Browser, operating system, language, approximate region, IP address, and security-related device information;
- Page usage, feature interactions, request status, errors, performance, and security events;
- Session identifiers, cookies, and anti-abuse signals.
Long-term storage of complete AI conversations is not a core product purpose. Information used for the current session, diagnostics, or security is handled on a data-minimization basis.
3. How we use information
We use information to provide AI needs analysis, recommendations, comparisons, authentication, account entitlements, used-car price displays, security, fraud prevention, support, legal compliance, and service improvement. We share purchase inquiry information with a brand, dealer, or partner only after your separate opt-in.
4. Legal bases
Depending on your location and applicable law, we process information to perform a contract or provide requested services, with your consent, to comply with legal obligations, to protect vital interests, or for legitimate interests such as security, fraud prevention, and service improvement where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing already lawfully completed.
5. Cookies and local storage
We use necessary cookies and session storage for sign-in, security, language, and current-session state. If we introduce non-essential analytics or advertising cookies, we will provide appropriate notice and choices before activation where required.
6. Sign-in providers
For phone sign-in, we use the phone number and verification result for authentication and security. For Google Sign-In, Google provides the minimum authorized account information needed to identify your account. We do not receive your Google password.
7. Optional lead sharing
If you actively opt in to be contacted, we may share the minimum necessary contact details, selected vehicles, needs summary, and consent record with relevant brands, dealers, or partners. Partners are required to use the information only for the agreed inquiry purpose. You may withdraw consent through zhangmingliang01@126.com.
8. Service providers
9. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We share it only where necessary to provide the service, with your authorization, to comply with law or valid authority requests, to protect rights and safety, or in a corporate transaction subject to continued safeguards.
10. International transfers
AI Car serves users in multiple regions, and providers or infrastructure may be located outside your country. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we use measures required by applicable law, such as notices, consent, contractual safeguards, or other approved mechanisms.
11. Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the stated purposes, dispute handling, security, and legal obligations. Retention is determined by account duration, security and fraud-prevention needs, the current-session purpose, inquiry handling, legal requirements, and whether data has been irreversibly anonymized.
12. Security
We use reasonable measures such as access controls, encryption in transit, environment separation, log masking, monitoring, backups, and security reviews. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
13. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to receive information, access or obtain a copy, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, request portability, close your account, receive information about automated decision-making, and complain to a regulator.
Submit requests through Account Settings or zhangmingliang01@126.com. We may verify identity before responding.
14. Automated recommendations
AI Car uses automated systems to interpret needs and recommend vehicles based on factors such as budget, family, commute, scenarios, vehicle specifications, and content features. You can change inputs, retry analysis, use traditional filters, or disregard recommendations. AI Car does not independently complete a transaction or make a legally binding decision for you.
15. Children
AI Car is primarily intended for users with legal capacity to make vehicle-related decisions. We do not intentionally seek children’s personal information. Minors should use the service only with appropriate parental or guardian consent.
16. Updates
We may update this Policy to reflect product, legal, or processing changes. Material changes will be communicated through a banner, notice, or other reasonable method.
