How YITE Auto handles personal data, in plain language.
Last updated: 21 October 2026
This policy explains what YITE Auto collects when you use this website, why we collect it, and what you can ask us to do about it. The short version: we collect what the service needs to work, we do not sell personal data, and Google Analytics and Google Ads are used only if you agree to them.
Who we are
YITE Auto is a marketplace for commercial trucks from suppliers in China. This website is operated under the YITE Auto brand, and we decide how the personal data described here is used. Privacy questions, and any request about your data, can be sent to shandongyiteauto@yiteauto.com.
What we collect
Account details you give us: your name, email address, mobile number and country when you register, plus your password in hashed form. Listing and inquiry details: truck listings, photos and messages you submit, and messages you send to a supplier. Technical data: the pages you open, the date and time, the address of the page that referred you, your approximate country and city, your browser and device type, and a first-party visitor identifier stored in a cookie. WhatsApp contact: if you press a contact button, we record that you did so, together with the truck and supplier involved.
Cookies, analytics and advertising measurement
A cookie holds your language choice, and another holds a visitor identifier used to count visits and remember which page brought you here. The cookie banner asks about two optional uses. Analytics: if you choose Accept all or Analytics only, Google Analytics sets its own cookies and receives the pages you visit, the time, your approximate location from your IP address, your device and browser, and the truck or supplier you looked at. Advertising measurement: only if you choose Accept all, Google Ads also receives an event when you press a WhatsApp contact button, so we can see which of our Google ads lead to contacts; Google may set its advertising cookies for this. We do not use it for personalised advertising. If you choose Reject all, neither is loaded, Google sets no cookies and receives nothing from your visit.
What we do not collect
We never send your name, email address, mobile number or the text of your messages to Google Analytics or Google Ads. The events for a WhatsApp click record only which truck or supplier page was involved — never the phone number and never the message.
How we use it
To run your account and give you access to the site; to show truck listings and put you in touch with the supplier you are asking about; to keep the marketplace safe, including spam and fraud checks; to understand which pages are useful; with your consent, to measure which of our Google ads lead to WhatsApp contacts; and to meet our legal and accounting obligations.
Sharing
When you send an inquiry or press a WhatsApp contact button, the supplier you approached receives the contact details and the message needed to answer you, and WhatsApp processes that conversation under its own terms. Our suppliers share their own personal data with us to be listed. We also use service providers who host the site and store its data and media on our behalf. With your consent, Google receives the analytics and advertising-measurement data described above through Google Analytics and Google Ads. We do not sell personal data.
Retention
Account records stay while your account is open and for as long as we need them to answer questions or meet legal and accounting duties. Inquiries and contact records are kept for the same period so both sides have a record of the conversation. Analytics and advertising-measurement data is kept under the retention settings of Google Analytics and Google Ads.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or object to a particular use. You can withdraw analytics or advertising-measurement consent at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which brings the question back. Write to shandongyiteauto@yiteauto.com and we will answer within the period the law allows.
Security and changes
Passwords are stored hashed and traffic to this site is encrypted. If we change this policy we will publish the new version here and update the date above, and we will tell you about changes that affect what we do with your data.
