• We do not permanently store, sell, or associate submitted VINs with personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, address, or license plate.
• Standard server access logs (such as IP address, browser type, and requested URL) may be temporarily processed by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security, rate-limiting, and performance monitoring.
