Privacy policy

Draft: review before launch, especially the cookie section once ads or analytics are chosen.

Last updated: 10 November 2026

This policy explains what personal data 4x4OffRoads.com collects, why, and what rights you have. The site is run by Álfatungl ehf., Klapparberg 10, 111 Reykjavik, Iceland ("we"), which is the data controller.

What we collect

  • Things you send us: when you submit a truck, create a garage or email us we store what you provide, such as your name, email address, photos and text about your truck.
  • Server logs: like most websites, our web server logs IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested. Logs are used to keep the site secure and working, and are deleted after 90 days.
  • Cookies: see below.

How we use it

  • to publish the trucks and content you choose to share (your email address is never shown publicly)
  • to answer your messages
  • to protect the site against spam and abuse

The legal basis is your consent (for content you submit), our legitimate interest in running and protecting the site, and, where required, your consent for non-essential cookies.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser.

  • Necessary cookies keep you signed in to My Garage and protect forms. They cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are only set if you click Accept in the cookie banner. They show us which pages are read and roughly where visitors come from, without telling us who you are. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Read how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We use a hosting provider to run the site and, if you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics for visitor statistics. Both process data on our behalf.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, and withdraw consent at any time. Email contact@4x4offroads.com. You can also complain to the Icelandic Data Protection Authority (Persónuvernd, personuvernd.is).
