Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2024

1. Introduction

Avatarzs LLC ("we", "our", or "us") operates the VIN Lookup Tool. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our service.

2. Information We Collect

Our VIN Lookup Tool is designed with privacy in mind:

  • VIN Numbers: VINs you enter are sent directly to the NHTSA API from your browser. We do not store, log, or have access to the VINs you look up.
  • Theme Preference: We store your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device.
  • No Personal Data: We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses.

3. How We Use Information

Since we do not collect personal information, we do not use, share, or sell any user data. The VIN lookup requests are made directly from your browser to the NHTSA public API.

4. Third-Party Services

Our service uses:

  • NHTSA vPIC API: Vehicle data is retrieved from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Their privacy policy governs the use of their API.
  • Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts for typography. Google may collect usage data as described in their privacy policy.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We do not use cookies or any tracking technologies. Your theme preference is stored locally in your browser using localStorage and is not transmitted to any server.

6. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store user data, there is no user data at risk. All API communications with NHTSA are made over secure HTTPS connections.

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is available to users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
