Effective May 13, 2026. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the information you share with us.

This Privacy Policy explains how Automotive Dynamics ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you visit our website, schedule service, submit forms, create an account, contact us, or receive emails or SMS messages from us. It applies to all parts of our site and services. By using the site you agree to this Policy and to our Terms of Use.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and limited information collected automatically.

You provide

  • Contact details: name, email address, mobile phone number, mailing address.
  • Vehicle details: year, make, model, trim, VIN, mileage, condition, photos.
  • Service request details: requested service, preferred date/time, notes.
  • Account credentials: if you create an account (email, password hash, profile fields).
  • Communication content: messages you send through forms, email, or SMS replies.

Collected automatically

  • Device/browser type, IP address, pages viewed, referring URL, and timestamps.
  • Cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, and basic analytics.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to appointment, inquiry, sell-your-car, and contact submissions.
  • To send transactional email and SMS related to your request (confirmations, status updates, replies).
  • To operate accounts, secure the site, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
  • To improve the website and our services through aggregated, non-identifying analytics.

3. SMS / Text Messaging — Opt-In, Use, and Sharing

When you provide a mobile number and consent to SMS through one of our forms, we use that number to send you transactional and informational messages related to your activity with us (e.g., appointment confirmations, vehicle status, replies to inquiries).

  • Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply.
  • You can opt out at any time by replying STOP. Reply HELP for assistance.
  • Mobile opt-in data and consent are NOT shared with any third party for marketing or promotional purposes, and are NOT sold under any circumstance. This includes any affiliates, partners, advertisers, or data brokers.
  • Mobile information may only be shared with service providers strictly necessary to deliver the messages you requested (e.g., our SMS gateway provider), under contractual confidentiality and use limitations.

For full SMS program terms, see our Terms of Use, Section 3.

4. How We Share Information

We share personal information only as described below:

  • Service providers / processors: hosting, database, email delivery, SMS gateway, payment processing — only the data needed to perform the service, under written agreements.
  • Legal: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with continued protection of your information.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share mobile opt-in/consent data with third parties for their marketing.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies for authentication and basic analytics. We do not use third-party advertising trackers. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect site functionality.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. SMS opt-out records are retained as required to honor your opt-out.

7. Security

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards (encryption in transit, access controls, audit logs) to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure; please notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

8. Your Choices and Rights
