Effective October 25, 2026.
Review requests
The review intake collects your name, email, optional phone, California location and ZIP code, vehicle details, main question, and the redacted dealer quote or service estimate. Optional advisor-support interest does not authorize a charge.
Documents and access
Cloudflare R2 is the approved document-storage provider. The implementation keeps files private and restricts staff access to explicitly authorized accounts. Documents are used to assess and respond to requests and perform accepted reviews. Uploading is not permission to publish documents or personal information.
Document retention
Uploaded documents become unavailable through the staff page 90 days after upload. Cloudflare R2 is configured to delete the files and associated request records after 90 days; provider processing may take additional time. Earlier manual deletion is available. Payment records and email correspondence are handled separately from uploaded documents.
Do not send unnecessary sensitive information
Redact Social Security numbers, driver's-license numbers or copies, full birth dates, bank or card information, credit applications or reports, account numbers, income documents, tax returns, pay stubs, signatures, and login credentials.
Other forms and providers
The question, contact, and newsletter forms use HubSpot and Cloudflare Turnstile. Newsletter signup records a separate marketing subscription; questions and contact requests do not subscribe you. Review documents use separate private Cloudflare R2 storage and are not sent to HubSpot by this implementation.
Payment, scheduling, and report delivery
After accepting a request, we send a private Stripe payment link. Payment details are entered on Stripe's hosted checkout page; this website does not collect card details. Call scheduling and report delivery are handled by email. Only the service, price, and request reference are needed for the payment link; review documents are not sent to Stripe. Stripe hosts checkout and processes payment information under its own privacy policy.
Educational permission
The free question form keeps educational-use permission separate, optional, and unchecked. Questions never become public automatically. Permission does not authorize use of documents, personal information, your name, image, or voice.
Analytics and media
Google Analytics 4 measures website use without form answers, calculator inputs or results, uploaded documents, or query strings. Google Signals and ad-personalization signals are disabled. Videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced player domain and do not autoplay.
Technical information and browser choices
Hosting, abuse protection, payment, and media providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, and requests to their services. Cloudflare provides hosting, private document storage, staff sign-in, and abuse protection. HubSpot processes connected website forms. Stripe processes payments. Email providers deliver our correspondence.
This website does not change its behavior in response to browser Do Not Track signals. Third-party services, including YouTube when you play a video, may collect information under their own privacy policies.
Provider policies: Cloudflare, HubSpot, Stripe, and Google and YouTube.
Policy changes
Material changes will be described on this page with an updated date. When appropriate, we will provide an additional website notice or contact affected customers before materially changing how previously collected information is used.
Contact and deletion requests
Contact info@simplified-auto.com about access, corrections, or deletion. Include your request reference if available, but do not send identity documents or unnecessary sensitive information. We may ask for information reasonably needed to confirm the request comes from the person concerned. Deletion of uploaded documents is separate from payment and business records that may need to be retained to complete services, resolve disputes, or meet applicable obligations.
