Welcome to Teleia Cyprus. This Privacy Policy governs how Teleia Cyprus Ltd. ("we", "us", or "our") collects, utilizes, safeguards, and discloses information gathered from users across our vehicle sales, car rental, and boat charter platform.
We maintain strict adherence to European Union Regulation 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) and the Cyprus Processing of Personal Data Law 125(I)/2018. By accessing our website, creating an account, or transacting on our marketplace, you consent to the handling of your data as outlined herein. If you do not agree with these principles, please discontinue use of the platform.

- Full legal name, email address, and verified Cyprus telephone number

How We Use Your Information
Every data point we process is bound to a legitimate legal basis under GDPR Article 6, including contract fulfillment, legal compliance, and our legitimate interest in marketplace integrity.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Teleia enforces a firm zero-sale policy: we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Disclosure is strictly confined to the following operational necessities:
Trusted Service Providers
We collaborate with certified third-party vendors for payment processing (Stripe), authentication (Firebase Admin), transactional email dispatch (Resend), and cloud storage (Cloudflare R2). All partners are legally bound by Data Processing Agreements requiring strict confidentiality and GDPR compliance.
Parties to a Marketplace Booking
When a rental booking is accepted, necessary contact coordinates (renter name, contact number, pickup instructions) are shared between guest and host strictly to coordinate vehicle or vessel handover.
Legal Compliance and Protection
We may disclose records if required by lawful subpoenas, court orders, or regulations of the Republic of Cyprus, or to protect the safety, property, or legal rights of our users and the public.
Corporate Reorganization
In the event of a merger, corporate acquisition, or transfer of marketplace operations, user information will be transferred subject to the commitments of this Privacy Policy.
Data Security Measures
We implement robust technical and organizational security controls designed to prevent accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your personal data.
While our systems adhere to current industry standards, no transmission over the internet or electronic storage infrastructure is completely impenetrable. Users are responsible for safeguarding their account passwords.
Your Rights and Choices (GDPR)
As a user in Cyprus or the European Economic Area, Chapter III of the GDPR grants you direct enforceable rights over your personal data:
Right of Access
Request a full confirmation of whether your data is being processed, along with copies of your account records.
Right to Rectification
Correct inaccurate information or complete incomplete listings directly through your profile settings.
Right to Erasure
Request permanent deletion of your account and personal history, subject to statutory tax and invoice retention laws.
Data Portability
Download an export of your account listings, booking history, and data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Third-Party Links and Integrations
Our platform may present hyperlinks to external websites, including Cyprus vehicle testing registries, marine authorities, or host external profiles. We hold no authority over the privacy mechanisms or content of independent third-party portals.
We advise reviewing the privacy terms of any third-party domain before providing personal information or financial credentials.
Children's Privacy Protection
Teleia Cyprus marketplace services are exclusively structured for individuals eighteen (18) years of age or older. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal identifiers from minors.
If a parent or legal guardian discovers that a minor has created an unauthorized account, contact us at privacy@teleia.cy and we will promptly delete all associated records.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect platform feature updates, legal modifications, or security enhancements. Revisions are published on this page with an updated effective date.
For substantive changes affecting user consent, we will provide conspicuous notices via account email notifications or banner alerts thirty (30) days prior to enforcement.
