We do not use your data for advertising targeting or sell it to data brokers.

We share data only with: (a) infrastructure providers necessary to operate the service (hosting, database); (b) email service providers to send notifications you requested; (c) law enforcement when legally required. We do not share your personal data with dealerships, car manufacturers, or marketing companies.

We use industry-standard security practices including encrypted passwords, HTTPS, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure — if you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at support@caristotle.com
