Privacy notice (draft)

When you start a deal: your role (buyer or seller), state and county, the vehicle's year, make, model, VIN, odometer, the agreed price, the sale date, and the email addresses of both parties.

As the deal goes on: which checklist steps each party ticked and when, answers to checklist questions (for example whether the title is in hand), the documents generated for the deal, and any signed document you upload.

If you use partner services: the fact that you clicked through, which service, and which deal. If you use escrow: the escrow partner's transaction number and its status. If you request a history report or valuation: the VIN, and the report we receive back, which we cache by VIN for 30 days.

Technical basics: server logs with IP address, browser, and the pages requested, kept for security and debugging.

Payment card numbers, bank account or routing numbers, or any other payment instrument. We never ask for them and our systems reject them. Money for a sale moves between the parties or through the escrow partner, never through us.

Driver's license numbers are not collected for Texas deals. If a state's official form requires one from the other party, the guide says so and you handle it on that form.

To run your deal: build the checklist for your state and county, generate your documents, send the other party their link, and show deadlines.

To get you the reports and services you ask for: we send the VIN to the history and valuation providers, and the amount, VIN, vehicle description, and both parties' emails to the escrow partner when you choose escrow.

To improve the service: counts of clicks and completed steps, and which state rules people get stuck on. We do not sell personal information.

The other party to your deal sees the deal page: vehicle, price, county, the checklist, and the status of each step. They do not see your personal link.

Partners receive only what their service needs, listed above, and only when you choose to use them. They handle it under their own privacy terms.

Service providers that host our database, send our email, and store generated documents process data on our behalf. [Attorney/operator: list the providers before launch.]

We disclose information if the law requires it, for example a court order.

Each party's deal link contains a private token. It is the key to that party's side of the checklist. Treat it like a password: do not forward it, and tell us if you shared it by mistake.

[Attorney/operator to set.] Working intent: deal records and generated documents are kept so both parties can refer back to the transaction, then deleted on a schedule to be set before launch. Cached history reports expire after 30 days. Server logs are kept for a short, fixed period.

You can correct the VIN, odometer, sale date, and county on the deal page. You can ask us to delete a deal and its documents. [Operator: contact method and response time to be inserted.] If you are in a state with privacy rights such as access, deletion, or correction, those rights apply and we will honour them.

The site does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Deal access works through the link, not a cookie. [Operator: update if analytics or a session cookie is added.]

The service is for adults entering into a vehicle sale. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

We will note the date this notice last changed at the top of the page. [Operator legal name, address, and privacy contact to be inserted before launch.]
