Privacy Policy

• Contact info you give us: name, email, phone, vehicle, message, appointment details.
• Usage data: pages viewed, referrer, approximate location, device/browser info.
• Cookies and similar tech: small files stored in your browser (see below).

We use three categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary — required to run the site (security, sessions, remembering your cookie choice). Always on.
• Analytics — measures traffic and how the site is used so we can improve it.
• Marketing — helps us show relevant offers and measure campaign performance.

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you Accept all or Manage Preferences. You can change your choice any time by clearing site data in your browser, which re-opens the banner.

We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are popular, where visitors come from, and how the site performs. Analytics data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.

If you accept marketing cookies, we may use pixels from advertising platforms (such as Meta and Google) to measure ad effectiveness and show you relevant offers. These pixels can set their own cookies subject to those platforms' privacy policies. You can opt out by selecting "Manage Preferences" in the cookie banner and turning Marketing off.

When you submit a contact form, book an appointment, or claim an offer (like our $25-off popup), we store your submission in our secure database and send a notification to our shop inbox so we can follow up. By submitting with the consent checkbox, you agree to receive emails, texts, and offers from BG Automotive related to your request and our services.

• Respond to your messages and schedule service.
• Send appointment reminders, repair updates, and receipts.
• Send occasional offers and shop news (only if you opted in).
• Improve our site, services, and customer experience.

We don't sell your personal info. We share it only with vetted service providers that help us run the business (hosting, database, email delivery, analytics) and only as needed to provide our services. We may also disclose info if required by law.

• Emails: click the "unsubscribe" link in the footer of any marketing email, or reply asking us to remove you.
• Texts: reply STOP to any text from us.
• Cookies: open the cookie banner via your browser's site-data settings, or turn off Analytics / Marketing in Manage Preferences.
• Delete my data: email bgautomotiveshop@gmail.com and we'll remove your records within 30 days.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal info, and to opt out of certain uses. Contact us using the info above and we'll honor your request.

Our site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal info.

We may update this policy. Material changes will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
