What Personal Information We Collect
We may gather personal information that you provide by uploading, posting, or inputting it into any of the State Side Vin Reports Services, or through other interactions you have with us while using our Services. This includes contact details (such as name, address, postal code, email, and phone number) and any other personal data you send to us, whether directly or on behalf of a third party, or authorize us to obtain. While you can choose not to provide certain personal information, doing so may limit your ability to access certain features of our Services.

Other examples of personal information we may collect include: the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect to the Internet; login details for accessing our Instant VIN Services; information related to your computer and connection, such as browser type, operating system, and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream, including date and time; cookie identifiers; products you viewed or searched for; and the phone number you use to call our customer service.

How We Use Your Personal Information
We use the personal information you provide for purposes such as responding to search requests, communicating with you, and enabling certain features of the State Side Vin Reports Services.

We may use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide, or make available, our Services and respond to search requests.

These third parties will only access your personal information as necessary to perform their tasks, and they are not permitted to use it for any other purposes.

Use and Disclosure for Communication and Marketing
To make our emails more relevant and interesting to you, we may use tools to track when you open our emails, if your computer supports such features. We may also compare our customer list with third-party lists to prevent unnecessary communication.

If you haven’t opted out of receiving marketing communications, we may use your personal information (but not disclose it) to send promotional materials about our goods, services, and special offers, either from us or our business partners.

You can withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal restrictions and reasonable notice. To do so, please contact us using the details provided in the “Contacting Us” section. We will inform you of the consequences of withdrawing consent.

We will never require you to consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of more personal information than is necessary to fulfill the specific purpose for which it was provided.

Retention and Storage of Your Personal Information
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill its purpose, comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, and protect our rights. This may involve sharing information with other entities, such as governmental bodies, for fraud detection, prevention, or protection.

Your consent remains valid even after you stop using our Services or leave our Website.
