Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6/16/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Dealership Decoded ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit dealershipdecoded.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information.

Information you give us directly. This includes your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, and any details you choose to include when you contact us through a form or by email, such as your name and message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, certain data is gathered through cookies and similar technologies. This can include your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view, how you arrived at the Site, and how long you stay. This information is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the Site.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies, which are small files stored on your device, to keep the Site working properly and to understand how it is being used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not function as intended if you do.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, respond to your questions and feedback, send our newsletter if you have subscribed, understand which content is most useful to visitors, and keep the Site secure. We do not sell your personal information.

Analytics

We use analytics tools, including services provided through our website platform and Google, to measure traffic and understand how visitors interact with the Site. These tools may collect information such as your IP address and browsing activity. The data helps us see what is working and create better content.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email address to send updates and new content. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. If you unsubscribe, we will stop sending you marketing emails.

Affiliate Links and Advertising

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. When you click an affiliate link, the third-party company may use cookies to track the referral and the purchase. These partners have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle your information. We only link to products and services we believe are relevant to our readers.

Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to other websites that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit through a link on our Site.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site, such as our website host, email service, and analytics providers, and only to the extent they need it to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, such as keeping you subscribed to the newsletter until you opt out. You can request that we delete your information at any time using the contact details below.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete it, and the right to opt out of certain uses. Residents of California, the European Union, and other regions may have specific rights under laws such as the CCPA and GDPR. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
