Privacy Policy

Draft placeholder — last updated [date]. Not yet reviewed by legal counsel.

Draft — not legal advice. This page uses generic, non-final placeholder language so the site can be previewed end-to-end. It has not been reviewed by an attorney and must not be published or relied on as-is — especially given the sensitive credit application data (including SSNs) this site collects, which is regulated under the FTC Safeguards Rule (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act). Get legal review before go-live.

1. Introduction

Auto Vibes ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes, in placeholder form, the types of information we collect through autovibessales.com and how that information is used, stored, and protected.

2. Information We Collect

Contact form submissions: name, email, phone number, and any message you send us.
SMS & email opt-in: your contact information and consent preferences.
Credit applications: name, contact information, employment and income details, date of birth, address, Social Security number, and vehicle of interest.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information above to respond to inquiries, process credit applications with financing partners, send requested updates via SMS or email, and improve our vehicle offerings and services.

4. Credit Application Data & Security

Credit application data, including Social Security numbers, is encrypted at rest in our database. Sensitive details are never included in email notifications — our team is only alerted that a new application was submitted and must log in to our secure, authenticated admin panel to view it. Within the admin panel, Social Security numbers are masked by default (e.g. ***-**-1234) and require a deliberate action to reveal in full.

5. Data Retention

We retain credit application data only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes. [Placeholder: exact retention and auto-purge period to be finalized with legal/compliance input.]

6. Cookies & Tracking

[Placeholder: describe any analytics or cookie usage once finalized. No third-party tracking is implemented as of this draft.]

7. Sharing Your Information

We may share credit application information with financing and lending partners solely to process your application. [Placeholder: list specific third parties once finalized.] We do not sell your personal information.

8. Your Choices

You may opt out of SMS or email communications at any time using the instructions provided in those messages, or by contacting us directly. See our SMS & Email Opt-In page for details.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our practices change. [Placeholder: describe how customers will be notified of material changes.]
