Automotive Planner (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates automotiveplanner.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use that information, and the choices you have. Using our website means you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us. You share personal information with us when you fill out a form, leave a comment, or send an email. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and any other contact details you submit.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our site, our servers and analytics tools record technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, and the pages you view. We collect this data through log files, cookies, and similar tracking technologies.
Information from third parties. We use Google Analytics and Google Site Kit to measure traffic and site performance. These tools collect usage data on our behalf under Google’s own privacy terms.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your messages and requests
- Operate, maintain, and improve our website
- Analyze traffic patterns and content performance
- Send updates or marketing messages, when you opt in
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud or misuse of our site
3. Affiliate Links and Advertising
Automotive Planner participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not receive your payment details through these links; Amazon and other retailers process those transactions under their own privacy policies.
Our site may display ads served by third-party advertising networks. These networks use cookies and similar technologies to deliver ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
4. How We Share Your Information
We share personal information only in these circumstances:
- Service providers. We work with hosting companies, email providers, and analytics services that process data on our behalf, under contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Legal requirements. We disclose information when the law requires it, or to respond to a valid legal request from a court or government authority.
- Business transfers. If we sell or merge our business, your information may transfer to the new owner as part of that transaction.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing use. If we ever share your information with a partner for a promotional offer, you can opt out anytime by emailing heath@automotiveplanner.com.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our site uses cookies to remember your preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may limit some features of our site, such as saved preferences or personalized content.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. When we no longer need your information, we delete it or make it anonymous.
7. Data Security
We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption and secure servers, to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. No online system offers complete security, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection of your data.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you have some or all of these rights:
- Access. Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction. Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
- Deletion. Ask us to delete your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
- Opt-out. Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any message, or by contacting us directly.
To exercise any of these rights, email heath@automotiveplanner.com. We respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so we can delete that information.
10. Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to third-party websites, including retailers and partner sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their privacy policies before you share personal information with them.
11. Changes to This Policy
We update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
