Your Privacy Is Our Priority

At carsworth.net, we believe transparency isn't optional — it's essential. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect when you use our car valuation tools, why we collect it, how we use it, and most importantly, what rights you have over your data. We've written this in plain language because you deserve clarity, not legal jargon.

Information We Collect: When you use our calculator, we may collect vehicle details (make, model, year, mileage), location data (to provide regional pricing), and optional contact information if you choose to create an account or request a detailed report. We also collect standard technical data like your IP address, browser type, and pages visited — but only to improve site performance and security, never to profile you personally.

How We Use Your Data: Your vehicle information helps us generate accurate valuations by comparing your car to real-market transactions in your area. Location data ensures pricing reflects local demand. If you create an account, we use your email to send valuation alerts or policy updates — but you can unsubscribe anytime with one click. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Period.

Cookies & Tracking: We use essential cookies to keep our site functional and secure. Optional analytics cookies help us understand how people use our tools so we can make them better. You can manage your cookie preferences anytime via the banner at the bottom of our site or through your browser settings. We do not use cookies for cross-site tracking or behavioral advertising.

Data Security: We implement industry-standard encryption (TLS 1.3) for data in transit and AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest. Our infrastructure undergoes regular third-party security audits, and access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who need it to provide our services. We also maintain breach notification protocols compliant with GDPR and CCPA requirements.

Children's Privacy: Our services are not directed to individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete that information.

International Transfers: If you access our services from outside the United States, please note that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required.

Policy Updates: We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we'll post the updated version here with a revised "Last Updated" date. For material changes, we'll notify you via email or a prominent notice on our site before the changes take effect.
