Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 1, 2026

Private Offer is a service that lets vehicle owners register their license plate so they can be notified if someone wants to make a purchase offer on their car. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. We've written it to be read, not just stored.

1. Information we collect

When you register your plate, we collect:

  • Your license plate number and state (or VIN)
  • Your phone number
  • Your minimum offer threshold, if you choose to provide one
  • Vehicle details you optionally provide: VIN, year, make, model, mileage
  • The date and time of your registration

If you choose to verify ownership of your vehicle, we also collect:

  • A photo or scan of your vehicle title or registration document
  • A photo of a government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID)
  • A photo of the VIN plate on your vehicle

Verification documents are uploaded voluntarily and are required only if you wish to accept an offer. They are reviewed by Private Offer staff and stored securely. They are never shared with buyers or third parties.

We do not collect your name, email address, home address, or any financial information during registration. We do not require account creation.

2. How we use your information

We use your information for one purpose: to notify you when someone has made an offer on your registered vehicle.

Specifically:

  • Your phone number is used exclusively to send you offer notifications via SMS
  • Your plate and state are used to match incoming offers to your registration
  • Your minimum offer threshold, if provided, may be used to filter offers below your stated floor before they reach you
  • Optional vehicle details help provide context to potential buyers and improve the quality of offers you receive

We do not use your information for advertising, marketing communications, or any purpose unrelated to offer notification.

3. Information we do not share

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own purposes. Your phone number is never disclosed to a potential buyer. All communication between buyers and sellers is mediated through the Private Offer platform.

Phone numbers collected by Private Offer are used solely to deliver transactional SMS notifications related to your account activity. We do not sell, share, or rent phone numbers to third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share information with service providers who help us operate the platform — for example, SMS delivery providers — but only to the extent necessary to provide the service, and under confidentiality obligations.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users or the public.

4. SMS notifications

By providing your phone number, you consent to receive transactional SMS messages from Private Offer. Message frequency varies based on your account activity. You may receive messages when you register a vehicle, submit an offer, receive an offer, or when your offer or registration status changes.

Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out of SMS notifications. Reply HELP for support. Opting out will not affect your registration or any active offers.

5. Data retention

Your registration remains active until you request removal. We retain your information for as long as your plate is registered with the service.

You can request deletion of your registration at any time by contacting us at the address below. We will remove your record within 7 business days.

6. California residents — CCPA rights

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, request deletion of your personal information, and opt out of the sale of your personal information.

We do not sell personal information. To exercise your right to know or right to deletion, contact us at the address below. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.

7. Security

We store your data in Supabase, a SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure provider. Your phone number is stored in a private database with access restricted to platform operations only. We use row-level security to ensure that no registration data is readable through our client-side application.

No system is perfectly secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. For significant changes affecting how we use your phone number, we will notify registered users by SMS before the change takes effect.
