This Privacy Policy explains how TrueAutoFax ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you visit trueautofax.com, submit a vehicle identification number (VIN), purchase a vehicle history report, receive customer support, or otherwise interact with our services.
TrueAutoFax is an independently owned and operated vehicle history information service. This policy applies to our website, checkout, reports, support communications, and related services.

- Cookies and analytics data: session and analytics events generated while you use the site.
- Customer support communications: messages you send us and our replies.

We do not list "we never sell or share your data" as an absolute promise because data flows to vendors and data providers are necessary to operate the service. Where applicable consumer-privacy laws require additional disclosures or rights, we honor them as described in Section 10.
6. Cookies and Tracking
We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to keep sessions secure, run analytics, prevent fraud, measure site performance, and improve the user experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may impact site functionality, including checkout and report delivery.
Where required, we provide an in-product mechanism for you to exercise privacy choices. To make a privacy request, contact us at cnscalingservices@gmail.com.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as is reasonably necessary to deliver the service, comply with legal and tax obligations, defend against disputes and chargebacks, prevent fraud, and maintain accurate business records. Retention periods vary by data type and legal or business need.
8. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children
Our service is not directed to and is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will delete it.
