Last Modified: March 8, 2019

This privacy policy ('Privacy Policy') applies to CARvengers, LLC, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter, variously “CARvengers”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), and our mobile services, applications, ratings and reviews, website, and any sites CARvengers may have now or in the future (collectively, the “Services”), and your choices about the collection and use of your information.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you use the Services, you may provide CARvengers with two main types of information: (1) personally identifiable information that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as you browse and use the Services. We collect information from you when you (a) use and/or access the Services, (b) register an account and/or subscribe to CARvengers, (c) open and/or respond to our emails, (d) contact CARvengers, and/or (e) visit any page online that displays our content.

Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide

We may ask for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing to you content and/or services that you request. We collect personal information such as your: (i) contact information (including name, telephone number, email and address); (ii) financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date, verification number, and billing address as submitted through our third party payment processor); (iii) username and password (specifically chosen by you); (iv) demographic information (including age, range of birthdate and gender); (v) location information (such as geographic location of the device you are using); (vi) specific vehicle information (including car type, year, color, make, model, license plate number, and vin number); and (vii) preferences and behavior (such as record of reviews, comments, responses and questions asked). Once you register, you have opted in to receive electronic communications from CARvengers. CARvengers may also provide you with the opportunity to participate in surveys through the Services. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information. Participation in surveys is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether to disclose such information.

Credit Card and Payment Information. Please note that when your bank account information or credit card information is transmitted via the Services, it will be protected by encryption technology used by our third party payment processor, ‘Stripe.’ CARvengers does not store credit card details and instead utilizes ‘Stripe’ to process payments made to CARvengers. In connection with the processing of such payments, we do not retain any personally identifiable information or any financial information such as credit card numbers. Rather, all such information is provided directly to our third party payment processor, who use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy.

Third-Party Applications.

Connecting your account to third-party applications and/or services is optional, and when you connect your account to an external application, you will be given the opportunity to grant permission. Depending on which services you choose to use, CARvengers may require additional information and contact information.

Information We Collect Automatically

When you access and/or use the Services, we may automatically collect information about you, including:

Cookies: In an effort to be transparent with our data collection practice and the technologies we use to provide the Services, the following explains how we use Cookies. We use Cookies and web log files for the primary purpose of providing the functionality of the website itself. A “Cookie” is a tiny data file that resides on your computer, mobile phone, or other device, and allows CARvengers to recognize you as a user when you return to our website using the same device and web browser and enables CARvengers to collect information about how you use our Services. Information gathered through Cookies may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, and time spent at using the Service. If you do not agree to our use of Cookies, you should set your browser settings accordingly or not use the Services. CARvengers uses Cookies and web log files for the following, which may include without limitation (i) to track usage and trends, (ii) to improve the quality of the Services, (iii) to customize your experience and/or (iv) to compile anonymous, aggregated information that allow us to understand how our Services are used. Cookies are categorized by how long they are stored and their function. The Cookies CARvengers uses are as follows:

• Persistent Cookies: Persistent Cookies remain on a visitor’s device for a set period of time specified in the Cookie. They are activated each time the visitor visits the Services that created that particular Cookie.

• Session Cookies: Session Cookies are temporary and deleted from your computer when you close your web browser. They allow CARvengers to link the actions of a user while using the Services.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Strictly necessary Cookies are essential to navigate around the Services and to use its features.

• Performance Cookies: Performance Cookies collect anonymous data for statistical purposes on how users use the Services, they don’t contain personal information and are used to improve the user experience.

• Functionality Cookies: Functionality Cookies allow CARvengers to operate the Services in accordance with your choices, such as ‘remembering’ you in between visits.

You may remove or block Cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use our Services and/or user experience while using the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you consent to the placement of Cookies on your device as described in this Privacy Policy. If you prefer not to receive Cookies through the Services, you may control how your browser responds to Cookies by adjusting the privacy and security settings of your web browser. Please note, in some cases that may impact your ability to use the Services and/or user experience while using the Services.

Device Data: We use device data, which is information concerning a device you use to access, use, and/or interact with the Services, such as operating system type and/or mobile device model, browser type, domain, and other system settings, the language your system uses and the country and time zone of your device, geo-location, unique device identifier and/or other device identifier, mobile phone carrier identification, and device software platform and firmware information.

Aggregate: We may collect non-identifying and statistical information about the use of our Services, such as how many visitors visit a specific page, how long they stay on that page and which links, if any, they click on, system configuration information, and/or other interactions with the Services. This information represents a generic overview of our users, including their collective habits. Information collected in the aggregate is not associated with you as an individual.

Other Tracking Technologies: We may supplement information you provide to us with information from other sources, such as information to validate and/or update your address, payment card and/or other demographic information. This information is used to maintain the accuracy of information on our Services and for internal analysis. We may also use clear gifs, pixel tags and web beacons, which are tiny graphic images placed on website pages and/or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed specific actions and are further used to track online movements of our users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to your personally identifiable information.

Third Party Services: To support the Services we provide to you, we may use products and/or services hosted by third parties (“Third Party Services”). These Third Party Services may collect information sent by a browser as part of a web page request, including ‘Internet Protocol’ addresses, browser software, and/or clickstream patterns. If such Third Party Services collect information, they do so anonymously without identifying individual visitors. However, we may link the information we record using tracking technology to personal information we collect. In addition, we may allow Third Party Services who list services to use Cookies in connection with your use of the Services. They may collect and store the same type of information and use it similarly to CARvengers, as described above.
