Privacy Policy & Data Subject Disclosures

This privacy policy took effect on October 25, 2026 and governs all active inquiry submissions and website interactions across automotoshop.click.

This disclosure is published by AutoMoto Shop to establish an authoritative record of how data is collected, stored, and verified across automotoshop.click. We update this documentation whenever technical intake routes, advertising campaigns, or statutory privacy frameworks change.

AutoMoto Shop operates as the sole data controller for all personal information gathered on this domain.

The registered trade controller is Automotoshop, operating the commercial parts desk at automotoshop.click. Our physical warehouse and trade counter is located at 606 NC Music Factory Boulevard, Charlotte, North Carolina 28206, Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. We operate under active North Carolina commercial business registration established in 2018.

Commercial communications, inquiries, and legal notifications may be directed by telephone to +1 (464) 785-0713 or by written transmission to office@automotoshop.click.

We only collect data that you transmit directly through inquiry forms, live chat interactions, or essential technical logs.

Our infrastructure collects specific categories strictly to fulfill vehicle parts matching:

• Inquiry Form Data: When posting to vowo1ae.php, we collect your name, phone number, email address, physical delivery address or will-call flag, inquiry kind, vehicle specification (including 17-digit VIN, engine code, and trim), technical notes, and explicit consent checkbox state.
• Live Support Desk: Conversations initiated through cado73b.php retain the message body, technician name, and a unique local token saved in browser storage so the inquiry thread can be maintained across visits.
• Automated Telemetry: Every web transmission logs the visitor IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, timestamp of form render, and timestamp of form submission.
• Advertising Click Identifiers: Paid inbound traffic carries campaign attribution query parameters including gclid, msclkid, and fbclid.

We do not store passwords, user accounts, credit card numbers, or automated checkout tokens. Nothing on this website conducts financial transactions or binding automated purchasing.

Every byte of data we gather is used to decode vehicle compatibility, quote hardware, or prevent automated spam abuse.

We process collected information for four exact operational purposes:

1. Cross-referencing customer-provided VIN and chassis specifications against factory parts manuals and warehouse stock to quote compatible parts.
2. Reaching the submitting technician or car owner by phone or email to clarify model trim discrepancies, verify delivery addresses, or confirm will-call staging.
3. Attributing paid advertising campaigns and measuring traffic acquisition channels across commercial search platforms.
4. Protecting warehouse communication channels against automated spam and denial-of-service abuse via honeypot fields and submission interval checks.

Processing is grounded strictly in consent, pre-contractual parts quotation steps, and legitimate trade security interests.

Under international and statutory privacy standards, our processing relies on three legal bases:

• Consent: Provided actively when you select the required consent checkbox on our inquiry form or accept storage options on our consent dock. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Contract & Pre-Contractual Steps: Processing vehicle specifications, delivery locations, and contact records is required to evaluate compatibility and formulate a trade quotation upon your direct request.
• Legitimate Interest: Maintaining server access logs, detecting security anomalies, and defending web forms against automated bot flooding represents an operational necessity for maintaining trade uptime.

Our trade counter actively runs inbound advertising campaigns on major search and commercial networks.

This website receives paid commercial traffic today. We actively manage marketing campaigns on google ads, microsoft advertising, and Meta Ads. When a visitor selects one of our commercial advertisements, the respective network appends a unique click parameter to the URL:

• Google Ads: Appends the gclid query parameter to evaluate ad placement relevance and click authenticity.
• Microsoft Advertising: Appends the msclkid click identifier to track conversion inquiries originated on Bing search.
• Meta Ads: Appends the fbclid parameter when marketing campaigns run across Meta platforms.

Nothing on this site states or implies that any advertising platform has reviewed, endorsed, or verified AutoMoto Shop. All claims regarding component specifications and counter inventory reflect our own trade records.

All four advertising and analytics consent signals remain denied by default until you grant affirmative storage consent.

To respect visitor autonomy and statutory mandates, our site enforces consent mode v2 across all pages. Before you interact with our consent panel, the following four signals are initialized in an explicit denied state:

• ad_storage: Denied
• ad_user_data: Denied
• ad_personalization: Denied
• analytics_storage: Denied

These four signals are updated to granted only if you click “Accept Storage” in the dock. If you select “Keep Denied” or subsequently clear your preferences, all four signals instantly revert to denied, and persistent advertising identifiers are blocked.

We share data solely with infrastructure hosts, corporate mail servers, and declared advertising networks.

AutoMoto Shop does not sell, rent, or lease personal records. We transmit data to third parties only as necessary to run web hosting and ad measurement services:

• Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd: Advertising attribution and conversion measurement through Google Ads.
• Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd: Commercial search attribution for Microsoft Advertising campaigns. You can inspect Microsoft data governance at privacy.microsoft.com.
• Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd: Campaign delivery and social click attribution.
• Infrastructure & Mail Hosting: Managed cloud servers that store encrypted inquiry submissions and relay notifications directly to office@automotoshop.click.

Data submitted to our Charlotte facility is hosted and processed on secure servers within the United States.

When an international visitor accesses automotoshop.click or submits a parts verification request, their information is transferred to and stored in the United States. Where personal data origin falls under European data protection laws, transfers to cloud infrastructure providers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Data Privacy Framework compliance to guarantee equivalent safeguards.

We retain records only for definite, scheduled timeframes rather than indefinite periods.

Our warehouse parts desk adheres to strict data retention schedules:

• Parts Inquiry Submissions & Email Records: Retained for exactly 24 months to support warranty claims, part supercession inquiries, and vehicle order history.
• Counter Desk Chat Transcripts: Retained for exactly 12 months from the date of the last message in the thread.
• Server & Access Log Files: Retained for exactly 30 days before automatic cyclical purge.
• Consent Choice Records: Stored locally under the site_consent_v2 cookie key for exactly 12 months.
• Statutory Data Requests (DSAR): Intake records and fulfillment verifications are answered within 7 days and retained for 24 months.

We protect transmitted parts records with TLS encryption, strict access controls, and honeypot validation.

All data exchanged between your browser and our servers is secured with TLS 1.3 encryption. Counter terminal access at 606 NC Music Factory Boulevard is password-protected and restricted to authorized parts personnel. Our server architecture implements perimeter firewalls, automated brute-force mitigation, and isolated database storage to prevent unauthorized external access.

We comply with US state privacy regulations including California ccpa mandates and do not sell personal data.

We automatically recognize and honor global privacy control signals emitted by your browser.

If your browser transmits the global privacy control header (Sec-GPC=1), our server and client scripts automatically treat this as a universal opt-out request. In response, advertising and analytics storage are set to denied immediately without requiring manual interaction with our consent banner.
