This data is used to understand site traffic and improve our website.
• Form submissions. When you book service, ask us to buy a car, or ask us to source a car, we collect the information you choose to submit, such as your name, phone number, email address, vehicle details, appointment preferences, and notes. We use this information to respond to your request.
• Phone calls. When you call us at (310) 379-7754, standard caller information (such as your phone number) may be visible to us through our phone system. This is not collected through the website.

• Vercel hosting. Our site is hosted on Vercel, which may collect basic analytics and performance data. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy for details.

We may also store campaign parameters such as UTM values or Google Ads click identifiers in your browser so we can understand which marketing sources led to form submissions.

How We Use Information

We use submitted and technical data to operate and improve our website, respond to service and vehicle requests, understand traffic patterns, measure marketing performance, and ensure the site functions correctly. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses services from Google (Tag Manager, Analytics, Maps), Vercel (hosting), Resend (email delivery), and HCo/Felix tracking. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data. We encourage you to review their respective policies. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because we collect only minimal technical data and do not sell personal information, most CCPA provisions do not apply to our site. If you have questions about your rights, please contact us.
