Privacy Policy | Christian’s Auto Detailing

Last Updated: December 3, 2025

At Christian’s Auto Detailing, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard data on my website (christiansautodetailing.com). If you have questions, contact me at (406) 230-0157 or dev.bsad@gmail.com.

Who I Am

I am Christian’s Auto Detailing, a home-based interior auto detailing business in Corvallis, Montana. My website address is https://christiansautodetailing.com.

Information I Collect

I collect limited personal data only when necessary to provide my services:

  • From Contact Forms: Name, phone number, email, vehicle details (year/make/model), preferred package, add-ons, and messages. This helps me schedule appointments and respond to inquiries.
  • Automatically: IP address, browser type, and device info for site security and analytics (e.g., via Google Analytics if enabled). No sensitive data like location is tracked.

I do not collect data via comments, user accounts, or logins—my site is simple and form-based only.

How I Use Your Information

  • To respond to inquiries and book detailing services.
  • To improve my site and services (e.g., analyzing form usage anonymously).
  • For spam prevention and security.

I never sell or rent your data.

Cookies & Tracking

This site uses essential cookies for form functionality (e.g., saving preferences during submission). These expire quickly and contain no personal data.

  • If you submit a form, a temporary cookie may save your details for convenience (lasts 1 year, opt-out anytime).
  • Third-party cookies: None by default. If I add embeds (e.g., Facebook links), they may track interactions—see their policies.

You can manage cookies via browser settings. No cookie banner needed for essential ones only.

Media & Uploads

I don’t allow user uploads, so no EXIF/GPS data concerns. All images on my site (e.g., gallery) are mine and location-free.

Embedded Content

Links to external sites (e.g., Facebook) may collect data if you click through. I don’t control this—review their privacy policies.

Who I Share Your Data With

  • Service Providers: Only trusted tools like form processors (e.g., if using Google Forms) or email services (e.g., Gmail for responses). They’re bound by data protection agreements.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law (rare for me).
  • No sharing with third parties for marketing.

For password resets (if I add logins later): Your IP may be included in emails.

How Long I Retain Your Data

  • Contact form submissions: As long as needed to complete your request (e.g., 1–2 years for follow-ups), then securely deleted.
  • Analytics data: Anonymized and aggregated—retained indefinitely for trends, but not tied to you.

You can request deletion anytime.

Your Rights Over Your Data

Under laws like CCPA and GDPR (if applicable), you have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your data.
  • Export a copy of what I hold (e.g., form submissions).
  • Opt out of any future sharing.

Email me at dev.bsad@gmail.com to exercise these. I’ll respond within 30 days. This doesn’t apply to data I must keep for legal reasons (e.g., business records).

Where Your Data Is Sent

Form data stays in the US (on servers). Spam detection may use automated tools like Akismet (if enabled), which processes data per their policy.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this occasionally—check back or I’ll notify via site notice. Continued use means acceptance.

Disclaimer: This policy is for informational purposes and based on standard templates. It’s not legal advice—consult a qualified attorney for your specific needs.
