MKAA sàrl, 8 Rue de Luxembourg, L-7759 Roost, Luxembourg. Please direct data protection enquiries to ankauf@mkaa.lu.

On registration and during use we process:

• business data: company, address, VAT ID, dealer number,
• contact details of the contact person: name, email address, telephone number,
• credentials: username and password (passwords only as a cryptographic hash),
• usage data: bids, watchlist, saved searches, language setting, notification preferences,
• technical log data: IP address and time of sign-ins, sign-outs and failed sign-in attempts.

We process this data to provide you with access, run auctions and inform you about bids and results (performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Log data on sign-in attempts is processed to prevent unauthorised access, and aggregated usage analysis to improve the platform (legitimate interests, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Sales settlement and invoicing data is processed to comply with tax and commercial law obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

When you submit a bid, your company name is visible to the other bidders on the same vehicle. The amount of your bid is only visible if you expressly choose this when bidding. We do not disclose personal contact details to other users.

Within MKAA, your data is made available only to those departments involved in vehicle trading. In addition, we use service providers for hosting and email delivery who act for us as processors. No transfer to third countries outside the EU takes place.

If you are awarded a vehicle belonging to another dealer, we pass on the data required for settlement to that dealer.

Account and usage data is stored for the duration of the business relationship. Thereafter it is deleted or its processing restricted, subject to commercial and tax retention obligations. Data on completed sales is retained for the statutory period. Log data on sign-in attempts is deleted regularly after a short period.

We use exclusively technically necessary cookies: a session cookie for your sign-in and a cookie for the selected language. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies, so no consent is required.

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, as well as the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Please contact us at the address given above.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in Luxembourg with the Commission nationale pour la protection des données (CNPD).
