This is the honest version, not the boilerplate one. CarKathmandu is run by CarKathmandu Team in Kathmandu, Nepal, and the only personal information we hold is what you type into our enquiry form.
What we collect when you fill the enquiry form
When you ask us for an on-road price, we collect:
- Your name, mobile number and city — required, because we cannot answer you without them.
- Your email address and message — optional, only if you choose to give them.
- Which car page you asked from, and when you're planning to buy.
We also record a one-way hash of your IP address and your browser's user-agent string. The hash lets us stop automated abuse of the form. It cannot be reversed back into your IP address, and we never store the address itself.
What we do with it
We use your details to answer your question, and to follow up if you asked us to. That is the whole purpose.
We do not sell your details. We do not add you to a marketing list. We do not pass your number to a dealer or an importer unless you specifically ask us to put you in touch with one — and if you do, we will tell you which one before we do it.
Where it goes
Enquiries are delivered by email to CarKathmandu Team through Resend, our email provider, and are read by our team. The site itself is hosted by Vercel. Both providers process data on our behalf under their own security terms.
How long we keep it
Enquiries are kept for as long as they are useful for answering you and for our own records, and no longer than 24 months. Ask us to delete yours sooner and we will.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, which are cookieless, to count page views and measure how fast pages load. Since 25 October 2026 we also use Google Analytics 4, which sets first-party cookies (named _ga) so it can tell a returning visitor from a new one. We use it to see which pages people read and how many send an enquiry. When you send an enquiry, Google learns only its shape: which car, the budget band and whether you need a loan. It never receives your name, phone number, email or message. Google signals and ad personalisation are off, so this data is not used to build an advertising profile of you. You can block it with any content blocker, or with Google's opt-out add-on, and the site works the same.
Cookies and local storage
We set no advertising cookies. The only analytics cookies are Google Analytics' first-party _gacookies described above. If you add cars to the comparison tray, that list is saved in your own browser's local storage so it survives a page refresh. It never reaches our servers, and clearing your browser data removes it.
Advertising
We currently run no advertising and no affiliate links. If that changes, this page will be updated before the first ad appears, not after.
Your choices
You can ask us at any time to:
- tell you what we hold about you,
- correct it,
- delete it, or
- stop contacting you.
Call +977 9849998031 or email hello@carkathmandu.com. There is no form to fill in and no verification hoop — just ask.
Children
This site is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect details from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If we change what we collect or what we do with it, we will change the date at the top of this page and describe the change here.
