Privacy policy

This policy explains what information Car Emptor ("we") collects when you use caremptor.com or call us, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Vehicle details you give us: VIN, year, make, model, trim, mileage, condition, title status and notes.
• Contact details: your name, phone number, email address and ZIP code.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, the page you came from and campaign tags such as UTM parameters.
• Records of calls, texts and emails with us, and the paperwork from a completed sale.

How we use it

• To price your vehicle and send you an offer.
• To arrange pickup, complete the purchase and the title transfer, and pay you.
• To contact you about your offer by phone, email or text, as you agreed when you submitted the form.
• To prevent fraud, check that vehicles aren't reported stolen, and meet legal obligations.
• To understand how the site is used and improve it.

Who we share it with

To buy your car, we share your vehicle and contact details with the vehicle buyers, auctions, dismantlers, towing companies and service providers we work with to evaluate, purchase, collect and process vehicles. These partners may contact you directly about your offer and pickup. We also share information when the law requires it, for example with motor vehicle agencies for title transfers.

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Text messages and calls

If you agree to be contacted, we and our partners may call or text the number you provided, including with automated technology. Consent isn't a condition of selling your car. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or call (855) 497-1176.

How long we keep it

We keep offer requests for up to three years and completed sale records for as long as tax and vehicle record laws require.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your state, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others with consumer privacy laws, you may have the right to know what we hold about you, to correct or delete it, and to opt out of certain sharing. Email [email protected] or call (855) 497-1176 to make a request. We won't treat you differently for using these rights.

Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls and limited staff access to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please contact us if you suspect a problem.

Children

Our services are for adults who own vehicles. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
