Privacy Policy.

What we collect

We collect only what we need to run your account and the service:

• Account details: your email address and name when you use a supported sign-in service. We never see or store that service’s password.
• What you enter: listings you check, vehicle identification numbers (VINs), cars you watch, and saved Value Check history linked to your account.
• Payment details: our payment processor handles your payment. We store your membership status and order history, but never your card number.
• Optional Google Analytics loads only after you allow it. It receives generic page categories, not listings, VINs, account pages, financial inputs, searches, query strings, or referring page addresses. Google advertising signals and automatic enhanced measurement are off. Use Analytics choices in the footer of a public page to change your choice. Existing product analytics remains separate.
• How you use the service: pages you visit, features you use, and a rough location based on your internet connection. We use these details to improve the service.
• Cookies and similar tools: these keep you signed in and help us understand how the service is used. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or session replay. Browser analytics does not load when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.

How we use it

We use your information to run Value Checks and produce reports. We also use it to keep your watchlist and history across devices, process payments and memberships, send receipts and report deliveries, prevent abuse, and improve the service. We do not sell your personal information or share it with dealers, brokers, or advertisers.

If you subscribe to Market Notes, we use your email only for that newsletter. You opt in separately and confirm twice. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing from Market Notes does not stop account emails such as receipts.

Who we share it with

We share personal information only with companies that help us run the service. They provide sign-in, database hosting, payment processing, product analytics, account email, and web hosting. Each company may use the data only to provide its service under its contract with us. We may also disclose information when the law requires it or when needed to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Retention and deletion

We keep account data while your account is active. You can delete your account from the account page or by contacting us. We then delete your personal information or remove details that identify you within 30 days, except records we must keep for tax, accounting, or legal reasons. Value observations kept for market research have identifying details removed and are no longer tied to you.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to see, correct, export, or delete your personal information. You may also be able to object to or limit some uses of it. Email us at the address below to use these rights. We will respond within the time your local law requires, and we do not treat you differently for using your rights.

You can also turn on Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track in a supported browser. These settings ask sites not to track your activity. They stop product analytics from loading here. Sign-in, security, and payment processing still work when either setting is on.

Security

We encrypt data while it moves between your browser and our service. We limit and log access to production data. Database rules limit each account to its own data, and payment credentials never touch our servers. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.

Children

Exotic Index is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date above and notify signed-in users by email or an in-product notice before the changes take effect.
