Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2025
Overview
Is My Car Deal Good? ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website ismycardealgood.com and is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we may share it, and your rights. Our calculators run entirely in your browser — no financial data you enter into them is transmitted to our servers.
Information We Collect
Calculator data: All calculations are performed client-side in your browser. Vehicle prices, income figures, and financing details you enter are not stored or transmitted.
Contact form submissions: When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, and message. This information is used to respond to your inquiry.
Pre-approval and lead forms: When you submit a pre-approval or lead capture form, we collect your name, email address, and any additional information you provide (such as loan range, credit score tier, or vehicle type). This information may be shared with our network of third-party lending partners for the purpose of matching you with financing options. See "How We Share Your Information" below.
Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, browser type, and referral source. This data is used to understand how visitors use the site and does not identify you personally. You can opt out via Google’s opt-out tool.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to contact form inquiries
- To match pre-approval requests with lending partners who may be able to assist you
- To send the requested resource (e.g., the Car Buyer’s Cheat Sheet) when you opt in
- To analyze site usage and improve our tools
How We Share Your Information
Lending partners: If you submit a pre-approval request, your information may be shared with one or more third-party lenders, financial institutions, or lead aggregators in our network who may contact you with financing offers. By submitting a pre-approval form, you expressly consent to this sharing.
Service providers: We use Formspree to process form submissions and Google Analytics for site analytics. These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own marketing purposes.
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or share it with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.
TCPA Consent and Electronic Communications
By submitting any form on this site, you consent to receive communications from us via email at the address you provide. By submitting a pre-approval form, you additionally consent to be contacted by Is My Car Deal Good? and its lending partners via phone, email, or text message (including automated or pre-recorded messages) at the contact information you provide, even if your number appears on a state or federal do-not-call registry. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. Consent to receive automated communications is not a condition of obtaining any goods or services.
Cookies
We use Google Analytics cookies to understand site usage. These are analytics cookies, not advertising cookies. We do not use cookies to serve targeted ads or track you across other websites. You can disable cookies in your browser settings or use Google’s opt-out extension.
Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months, then deleted. Pre-approval submissions may be retained for up to 24 months or as required by lending partners. Calculator inputs are never retained.
