Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to 48 Cars ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our pre-qualification services.

2. Information We Collect

• Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code when you fill out our pre-qualification or history report forms.
• Financial Information: Self-reported credit score tier and income data used solely to estimate buying power.
• Usage Data: Information about how you use our website, including your IP address, browser type, and location (state) to provide localized vehicle inventory.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Connect you with local auto dealerships that match your budget and preferences.
• Provide accurate estimated monthly payments and vehicle options.
• Send you free vehicle history reports upon request.
• Communicate with you regarding our services via phone or email, as explicitly requested by you.

4. Sharing Your Information

We only share your information with our network of certified auto dealerships (the "Dealers") explicitly when you submit a lead form to schedule a visit or request financing options. We DO NOT sell your personal information to third-party marketing agencies.

5. "Soft" Credit Pull Disclaimer

Using our budget calculator and pre-qualification form does NOT affect your credit score. We rely on your self-reported credit tier to provide estimates. Any actual credit application will be performed by the dealership directly and may result in a hard inquiry at that time.
