Legal
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how RetireCar collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the Site or request a vehicle offer through our marketplace.
Overview
RetireCar operates an online vehicle marketplace. In most transactions, RetireCar acts as an intermediary between vehicle sellers and independent buyers, tow providers, and related service partners. RetireCar is not always the direct purchaser of your vehicle unless we expressly say so in a specific transaction.
By using the Site, requesting an offer, accepting an offer, or otherwise communicating with us, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including:
- Name, phone number, email address, ZIP code, and pickup details.
- Vehicle details such as VIN, license plate, mileage, title status, condition, and photos.
- Communications you send to us by form, phone, email, or text message.
- Usage data such as device, browser, IP address, page activity, and referral information.
How We Use Information
We may use personal information to:
- Review your vehicle submission and present offers or estimated price ranges.
- Match your vehicle with interested buyers in our network.
- Coordinate title review, pickup scheduling, payment logistics, and customer support.
- Send transactional updates, service notices, and where permitted, marketing communications.
- Operate, secure, improve, and analyze the Site and our services.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
How We Share Information
Because RetireCar is an intermediary marketplace, we may share your information with independent buyers, towing vendors, title processors, communications vendors, analytics providers, and other service providers as reasonably necessary to evaluate, facilitate, or complete a vehicle transaction.
We may also disclose information in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, sale of assets, legal request, fraud investigation, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of RetireCar, our users, or others.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be sold or shared for third-party marketing.
Calls, Texts, and Email
If you provide a phone number or email address, RetireCar and the parties helping deliver the transaction may contact you regarding your vehicle request, offer updates, scheduling, support, or other account-related matters.
Marketing-related calls or texts, where used, are subject to applicable law and the disclosure on our TCPA page. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP to opt out of text messaging and HELP for help.
Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand traffic patterns, improve the Site, measure campaign performance, and support fraud prevention and security.
You can manage certain cookie preferences through your browser settings, but disabling cookies may limit portions of the Site.
Children
The Site is not intended for children under 13, and 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 review and delete it if appropriate.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You may request to update or correct information you previously submitted by contacting us through the Site. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in those messages, though we may still send service-related communications needed to process your request or transaction.
California and Do Not Track
The Site may use tools that collect activity over time and across websites for analytics or advertising purposes. We do not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals.
California residents may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. If you wish to exercise a privacy right, contact us through the contact methods published on the Site.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above. Continued use of the Site after changes become effective means the updated policy applies going forward.
