1. Scope and Introduction
Welcome to Auto Detailing CRM("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you use our website, web application, mobile application, booking pages, customer-facing portals, communications tools, AI receptionist workflows, payment features, and related services (the "Service").
Auto Detailing CRM is primarily a business-to-business service for auto detailing businesses. Our customers may upload or collect information about their own customers, vehicles, appointments, invoices, quotes, memberships, and service history. We process that information to provide the Service to the business account.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Account and profile information: names, business names, email addresses, phone numbers, login credentials, user roles, account settings, subscription status, and support identifiers.
- Business information: shop names, addresses, service areas, business type, tax settings, currency, logo, staff records, working hours, service catalog, pricing, memberships, and operational preferences.
- CRM and customer data: customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, service addresses, notes, vehicle details, VIN, license plate, photos, appointment details, quotes, orders, invoices, signatures, memberships, and service history.
- Payment and transaction information: invoice amounts, tips, taxes, payment status, payment method labels, transaction identifiers, refunds, chargeback or dispute metadata, and payment processor account status. We do not store full credit card numbers.
- Communications information: appointment reminders, review requests, invoice links, email and SMS delivery logs, call metadata, AI voice transcripts or summaries when enabled, support messages, and consent or opt-out records.
- Device, usage, and log information: browser type, device type, operating system, IP-derived approximate location, pages viewed, features used, timestamps, diagnostic logs, crash reports, analytics events, and security audit logs.
- Cookie and advertising information: cookies, pixels, local storage identifiers, referral URLs, campaign parameters, and similar technologies used to operate the website, remember preferences, measure performance, and understand marketing effectiveness.
- Integration information: authorization tokens, connection status, external account identifiers, calendar events, payment processor data, app store or device capability signals, and related data needed to provide integrations you enable.
- Referral and affiliate program information:referral or affiliate identifiers, link and attribution records, registration and qualification dates, program and terms versions, reward or commission status, adjustments, reversals, and fraud or eligibility signals. For external affiliates, this may also include application and invitation details, country, preferred language, email and phone verification status, approval status, Stripe connected-account identifiers and readiness, and payout history.
3. Sources of Information
We collect information from the following sources:
- You and your authorized users: when you register, configure your business, invite staff, upload customer data, contact support, or use product features.
- Your customers: when they use public booking pages, customer portals, payment links, signature links, forms, SMS flows, or other customer-facing workflows you enable.
- Automated systems: when our website, web app, mobile app, servers, security systems, analytics tools, and cookies generate logs or usage data.
- Third-party services: such as payment processors, messaging providers, calendar providers, app platforms, analytics providers, AI or voice providers, and other integrations you connect or use through the Service.
- Referrers and affiliates: when you open a valid referral or affiliate link, enter a code during registration, or complete a qualifying subscription purchase.
4. How We Use Information
We use information for the following purposes:
- Provide, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service.
- Create and manage accounts, authenticate users, enforce permissions, and provide support.
- Operate CRM workflows including scheduling, quotes, orders, invoices, memberships, payments, signatures, reminders, and customer portals.
- Process payments, generate receipts, reconcile payment status, and support dispute, refund, chargeback, and accounting workflows.
- Send operational communications, product notices, support replies, security alerts, marketing messages where permitted, and legally required notices.
- Provide optional integrations, including Google Calendar, Stripe, Apple Tap to Pay on iPhone, SMS providers, email providers, app stores, AI voice tools, and related services.
- Detect abuse, prevent fraud, investigate incidents, enforce our Terms of Use, comply with law, and protect the rights and safety of Auto Detailing CRM, our users, and their customers.
- Operate our referral and affiliate programs, including validating codes, preserving attribution, determining qualification, issuing subscription credits or commissions, administering payouts, preventing self-referrals, and maintaining financial and audit records.
4.1. Communications from Auto Detailing CRM
When you create a business account (tenant), request a demo or trial, submit a form, contact us, purchase a subscription, or provide contact information to us, we may use that information to contact the tenant, its account owner, administrators, and other authorized users by email, phone call, SMS/text message, in-app message, push notification, or similar channels.
These communications may relate to account setup, onboarding, verification, support, billing, security, service notices, product updates, demos, feedback, renewals, offers, or other business purposes connected to Auto Detailing CRM. Promotional communications are sent where permitted by law and subject to your preferences. You may opt out of promotional email or SMS messages using the unsubscribe link, preference page, replying STOP where supported, or contacting us. Service, security, billing, legal, and other required operational messages may still be sent.
These are communications between Auto Detailing CRM and the tenant or its authorized users. A tenant may communicate with its own customers using the Service or using its own resources outside the Service. When the tenant uses the Service, customer-facing messages are sent on the tenant's behalf and are governed by the tenant's instructions, notices, consent obligations, and applicable law. Communications sent through the tenant's own resources are not sent by Auto Detailing CRM and remain the tenant's responsibility.
5. Google Calendar Data Usage
Auto Detailing CRM integrates with Google Calendar to provide two-way appointment synchronization. This integration is optional and requires explicit user authorization.
5.1. Data we access
With the user's consent, our application may access the following Google Calendar API scopes:
- https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.eventsfor creating, editing, and deleting events in the user's Google Calendar that correspond to appointments created or modified within the CRM.
- https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly for reading the user's existing calendar events and displaying them inside the CRM.
We do not access or modify calendar settings, sharing permissions, ACLs, or other restricted data.
5.2. How the data is used
- Display the user's Google Calendar events inside the CRM.
- Create, update, or delete Google Calendar events that match CRM appointments.
- Keep the user's schedules synchronized between both systems.
No other use of Google Calendar data occurs.
5.3. Storage and user control
A Google Calendar refresh token is stored securely on our server and used only to maintain calendar synchronization. Google Calendar data is not sold or shared for advertising. Users may revoke Google access at any time via https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
6. Referral and Affiliate Program Privacy
6.1. Attribution and program records
If you visit a valid referral or affiliate link, we may store a limited first-touch identifier in a cookie or similar storage for the applicable attribution window. We revalidate the code when a CRM workspace is created. A later link generally does not replace an earlier valid attribution, although a code you deliberately enter may take priority. We use these records to prevent duplicate or self-referrals and to determine whether a registration later qualifies for a credit or commission.
6.2. Information visible to program participants
A CRM customer participating in the Referral Program receives privacy-safe aggregate counts, dates, and credit status. We do not show that customer the referred business's name, owner, email, phone number, tenant identifier, payment information, or CRM records.
An approved external affiliate may see the referred business's business name after that business completes registration, together with limited conversion dates, status, and commission information. The affiliate does not receive the owner's name, email address, phone number, tenant identifier, payment method, invoice contents, internal risk signals, or CRM records.
6.3. Affiliate verification and payouts
External affiliate accounts use a dedicated registration and verification process. We record whether required email and phone checks were completed or, for an eligible manual invitation, whether phone verification was expressly waived by an authorized administrator. We do not create a fictitious phone number or mark a waived phone as verified.
Stripe collects and processes identity, tax, and bank information needed to operate a connected account and receive payouts. Auto Detailing CRM receives limited connected-account identifiers, capability and payout-readiness status, transfer references, and related records; we do not store the affiliate's raw bank account details.
6.4. Deleted referred businesses
If a business attributed to an external affiliate deletes its CRM account, we remove the business identity from the affiliate-facing history and display Deleted business. We may retain a privacy-safe financial and audit record containing registration, qualification, and deletion dates; final status; currency; and commission or reversal amounts. That archive does not retain the deleted tenant identifier, business name, owner identity, email, phone, or CRM records.
7. How We Disclose Information
We do not sell personal information, CRM data, customer records, or SMS opt-in data in exchange for money. We may disclose information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: cloud hosting, database, analytics, support, email, SMS, telephony, AI voice, document generation, security, monitoring, and payment processing providers that help us operate the Service.
- Connected integrations: third-party services you choose to connect, such as Google Calendar, Stripe, Apple Tap to Pay on iPhone, app platforms, or other integrations required for enabled features.
- Referral and affiliate participants:only the limited program status and business information described in Section 6, and never access to the referred business's CRM records.
- Authorized users and account owners: information may be visible to the business account owner, administrators, staff, and users with appropriate account permissions.
- Customer-facing workflows: information may be shown on invoices, quotes, booking pages, payment links, customer portals, receipts, signature pages, or messages generated by the business account.
- Legal, safety, and compliance: when required by law, subpoena, court order, regulator, payment network rule, carrier rule, or when needed to protect rights, safety, security, and integrity.
- Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We do not share, sell, rent, or lease mobile opt-in data or SMS consent data with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
8. California and State Privacy Disclosures
Certain privacy laws require disclosures about categories of personal information collected, disclosed, sold, or shared. Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect the following categories:
- Identifiers: names, email addresses, phone numbers, business names, account IDs, IP addresses, device identifiers, and customer identifiers.
- Customer records information: billing details, transaction records, business contact information, and customer contact information.
- Commercial information: subscriptions, purchases, invoices, quotes, orders, payment status, services, memberships, and customer relationship records.
- Internet or network activity: product usage, pages viewed, clicks, logs, diagnostics, referral data, cookie data, and analytics events.
- Geolocation or address information: business addresses, service addresses, approximate location derived from IP, and location-related data entered into CRM workflows.
- Audio, electronic, or visual information: uploaded photos, signatures, support messages, call metadata, and AI voice records or summaries when enabled.
- Professional or employment-related information:staff names, roles, work schedules, permissions, and business contact details.
- Inferences: product usage patterns, feature preferences, plan suitability, onboarding progress, and marketing or support segmentation.
We disclose these categories to service providers, connected integrations, authorized account users, payment processors, messaging providers, security vendors, analytics providers, and legal or compliance recipients as described in this Policy. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under 16.
Some privacy laws may treat sharing identifiers with advertising or analytics partners for cross-context behavioral advertising as a "sale" or "share" of personal information, even when no money changes hands. You may submit an opt-out request through our Do Not Sell or Share Personal Information page.
9. Cookies, Analytics, and Privacy Signals
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies to keep the Service working, remember preferences, understand product usage, measure marketing performance, prevent fraud, and improve the Service. If you disable cookies, some features may not work correctly.
9.1. Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile on certain login, registration, booking, and other security-sensitive forms to help distinguish human users from automated traffic and prevent abuse. When Turnstile runs, Cloudflare may process limited client-side signals, such as IP address, TLS fingerprint, user-agent header, sitekey, and associated origin, for bot detection and security purposes. For more information about Cloudflare's processing of Turnstile signals, please review the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
Some browsers provide "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to those signals, we do not currently respond to all Do Not Track signals. Where required by applicable law, we will treat a recognized Global Privacy Control or similar opt-out preference signal as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for that browser.
10. Mobile App and Device Data
When you use our mobile application, we may collect device type, operating system, app version, crash logs, diagnostic data, device capability signals, and information needed to operate mobile-specific features such as Tap to Pay on iPhone, camera-based workflows, push notifications, and native app bridge features.
11. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. You are responsible for keeping account credentials secure and limiting access to authorized users.
12. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal, tax, accounting, payment, and carrier obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, support backups, and operate legitimate business records. If you delete your account or request deletion, we will delete or de-identify eligible information unless retention is required or permitted by law.
We do not intend to retain inactive accounts indefinitely. An account is considered inactive when it has no active paid subscription and there has been no sign-in or other use of the Service for six consecutive months. After that period, we may delete or de-identify the account and associated information, including business and customer records, subject to applicable law and our legitimate retention needs. Information that must be retained for legal, tax, accounting, payment, fraud-prevention, security, dispute-resolution, backup, or similar purposes may be kept for longer, and deletion from backups or third-party systems may occur according to their ordinary retention cycles.
Referral, affiliate, commission, credit, payout, reversal, and administrative audit records may be retained after account deletion where needed for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and financial reconciliation. Where an external affiliate's historical conversion must remain, we use the privacy-safe archive described in Section 6.4 rather than retaining the deleted business's identity or CRM data.
13. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect, sell, or share personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
14. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party websites, services, app platforms, payment processors, maps, calendars, SMS providers, AI providers, and other tools. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for third-party privacy or security practices.
15. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information; opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; withdraw consent; lodge a complaint; or appeal a privacy decision. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.
To exercise these rights, contact us at support@autodetailcrm.com or use our Do Not Sell or Share Personal Information page. We may need to verify your identity or authority before responding. If your request concerns data controlled by one of our business customers, we may direct you to that business or assist them in responding.
16. International Use
Auto Detailing CRM is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from another country, you understand that information may be processed and stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.
17. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date above indicates when this Policy was last revised. Your continued use of the Service after an update means the updated Policy applies to information handled after the effective date, to the extent permitted by law.
