Privacy Policy

Easy Car Donation ("we," "us," or "our") operates easycardonation.org (the "Site") as an independent referral service that connects vehicle owners considering a charitable car donation with qualified 501(c)(3) organizations. We are not a charity ourselves and have no affiliation with the organizations listed on the Site.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Site, how we use it, and the limited circumstances under which we share it. By using the Site or submitting a form, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

Information you provide

When you submit our lead form or otherwise contact us, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, vehicle location, vehicle type, approximate vehicle value, your relationship to the vehicle, and any free-text notes you choose to include.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site we and our service providers may automatically collect your IP address, device and browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, traffic-source attribution, and basic Site functionality.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiry and route it to a qualified 501(c)(3) referral partner;
• Provide information about car donation options;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
• Measure marketing performance and the effectiveness of our content;
• Comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. How We Share Information

The Site's core function is referral. When you submit a lead form, we may share the information you provide with one or more vetted 501(c)(3) referral partners so that they can follow up with you about a potential car donation. We may also share information with:

• Service providers that host the Site, deliver email, or provide analytics on our behalf;
• Professional advisors (legal, accounting, insurance) when reasonably necessary;
• Authorities or other parties when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, or property.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. We may receive compensation from referral partners when a donation is successfully completed; this does not change the information we share or how we share it.

4. Cookies and Analytics

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and attribute conversions. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the Site may not work as expected. We may use third-party analytics providers (for example, server-side analytics or privacy-respecting page analytics) that process aggregate, non-identifying data on our behalf.

5. Data Retention

We retain lead form submissions and related communications for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Aggregate analytics data may be retained indefinitely.

6. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any message we send you. Transactional messages relating to an active inquiry may continue until your matter is resolved.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on the Site.
