5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies on our website. These technologies may be provided by us and by third parties such as:

- Meta Pixel;
- LinkedIn Insight Tag; and
- HubSpot.
These technologies may collect information such as online identifiers, IP address, browser and device information, website navigation data, page views, referring URLs, ad interactions, and conversion events. Depending on your interaction with our website and forms, they may also associate that activity with your account, email address, or CRM record.
We use these technologies for several purposes:
- to keep our website functioning;
- to remember preferences;
- to understand website traffic and usage;
- to measure marketing and advertising performance;
- to determine whether users who saw or clicked an ad later visited our website, submitted a form, created an account, or took another action; and
- to help us show ads to users who may be interested in AutoBolt based on prior interactions with our website or services.
Your cookie choices
Where required by applicable law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device. You can manage your choices through:
- our cookie banner or consent manager;
- the “Your Privacy Choices” link on our website; and
- your browser settings, where applicable.
Please note that disabling some cookies may affect the functionality of certain website features.
Advertising and California “sharing”
We do not sell personal information for money. However, like many online businesses, we may allow certain advertising partners to collect online identifiers and internet or network activity information through our website for analytics, ad measurement, audience creation, or cross-context behavioural advertising. Under California law, this may be considered “sharing.”
Where required by applicable law, we honor valid opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, with respect to sale/sharing.
6. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:
A. Service providers and processors
We disclose personal information to vendors that provide services on our behalf, such as website hosting, cloud infrastructure, CRM, customer communications, analytics, marketing automation, security, technical support, and vehicle/VIN-related processing.
B. Analytics and advertising partners
We may disclose or make available certain identifiers, device information, usage data, and related information to analytics and advertising partners, including Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and HubSpot, for analytics, campaign measurement, attribution, and advertising-related purposes, subject to applicable law and your choices.
C. Professional advisors and corporate transaction parties
We may disclose personal information to legal, accounting, financing, insurance, and other advisors, and in connection with an actual or proposed merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or other corporate transaction.
D. Legal and compliance recipients
We may disclose personal information where required or permitted by law, including to respond to legal process, enforce our agreements, protect rights and safety, prevent fraud, or cooperate with regulators or law enforcement.
E. With your direction or consent
We may disclose personal information to other parties where you direct us to do so or otherwise consent.
7. Cross-Border Processing and Transfers
We and our service providers may process, store, or access personal information in Canada, the United States, and other jurisdictions where our vendors operate. As a result, personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities in accordance with applicable law.
Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate contractual and organizational measures when transferring personal information to service providers and other third parties.
8. Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.
Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information, the purposes for which it was collected, operational requirements, and legal obligations. When personal information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymize it, or securely destroy it, as appropriate.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, and alteration. These measures may include access controls, encryption, logging, monitoring, vendor due diligence, and security policies and procedures.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
