Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect the information you choose to give us through our forms. On the contact form that is your name, email address, subject, and message. On the subscribe form that is your name, email address, and, if you select an SMS category, your mobile phone number. We also record the consent details described below.

How We Use Information

• To answer written questions you send us.
• To deliver the message categories you selected.
• To keep a record that consent was given, and when.
• To maintain and improve the consumer guides and articles on this website.

SMS Communications

Auto Tech Explained operates the Car Tech Text Program. Text messages are sent only to numbers where an SMS consent box was checked. The categories are:

• Account Notifications Message frequency varies based on account activity.
• Marketing Message frequency varies, generally up to 4 messages per month.

Consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase, access, or use of this website. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help.

Mobile Opt-In Information

Mobile opt-in data, SMS consent, and phone numbers collected for SMS purposes will not be sold, shared, rented, released, or transferred to third parties for marketing, lead generation, or promotional purposes.

When you submit an SMS consent we may record your phone number, the category selected, the consent timestamp, the page you submitted from, the version of the consent disclosure shown, your browser user agent, and your IP address where available. This record exists to document consent.

Cookies and Analytics

This website uses only the cookies and local storage needed for the site to function. If we later add analytics, this policy will be updated to name the service and its purpose before it is enabled.

Data Retention

We keep contact messages and subscription records for as long as needed to answer your question, to operate the text program, and to keep proof of consent. You may ask us to delete your information by emailing hello@autotechexplained.com.

Your Opt-Out Rights

Reply STOP to any message in a program to stop that program. You can also email hello@autotechexplained.com to be removed from any list we maintain. Opting out of text messages does not remove your ability to read this website.

Security

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the information we hold and limit access to it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, email hello@autotechexplained.com and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links

Our articles may link to manufacturer documentation or other outside resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The updated date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
