1. Information We Collect
CheckCarFault does not require user registration or account creation. When you search for a vehicle or enter a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), that information is processed in real time solely to look up relevant safety defect and recall records. We do not store or associate VIN searches with personal identities.
2. Log Files & Analytics
Like most standard website servers, we may automatically collect anonymous diagnostic information, including your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This data is used to analyze trends, administer the site, and improve user experience.
3. Cookies & Advertising Partners
Third-party advertising vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
