Vazz Auto

Effective Date: August 13, 2026

Last Updated: August 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Vazz Auto ("Vazz Auto," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit vazzauto.com (the "Website"), place an order, or contact us by phone, email, live chat, WhatsApp, or text message.

By using the Website or contacting us, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. Who We Are

Vazz Auto is a United States retailer of used, OEM, remanufactured, and aftermarket automotive parts. We sell parts online and by telephone, and we ship to customers across the United States. We operate through a fulfillment-partner model: we do not maintain our own warehouse or inventory, and orders may be fulfilled and shipped directly by authorized distributors, manufacturers, or verified third-party suppliers.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Give Us Directly

• Full name
• Email address
• Telephone number, including mobile number
• Billing address and shipping address
• Payment information (see Section 2.4)
• Vehicle information you provide so we can confirm fitment, including year, make, model, engine, trim, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Order details, part numbers, and the contents of your inquiry
• Messages you send us through the contact form, email, live chat, or WhatsApp
• Return, warranty, and RMA information you submit
• Your consent selections, including whether you affirmatively opted in to receive text messages, together with the date, time, IP address, and web page on which consent was given

2.2 Information We Collect Automatically

• IP address and approximate location derived from it
• Browser type, operating system, and device information
• Pages viewed, products viewed, time on site, and links clicked
• Referring website and search terms where available
• Cookie identifiers and similar tracking-technology data (see Section 5)
• Data collected through Google Tag Manager and connected analytics and advertising tags operating on the Website

2.3 Communications We Record

We may monitor and record communications between you and us, including telephone calls, SMS text messages, live chat sessions, WhatsApp messages, and emails, in compliance with applicable laws. We do this for quality assurance, order accuracy, staff training, dispute resolution, and to meet our legal and record-keeping responsibilities.

Telephone calls: where a call is recorded, we provide notice at the start of the call. Some U.S. states require the consent of all parties to a recording. If you do not wish to be recorded, tell the representative and you may continue by email or live chat instead.

2.4 Payment Information

The information we receive depends on the payment method you choose. Where a payment method is processed by a third-party payment provider, that provider collects and handles your payment details directly, and we do not store full payment card numbers on our systems. Where you pay by bank transfer, Zelle, Western Union, or a similar method, we receive only the transaction details your bank or the transfer service passes to us in order to identify and reconcile your payment.

Please note: payment methods such as Zelle and Western Union are designed for payments between people who know and trust each other and generally do not include the purchase-protection or chargeback rights that credit cards provide. Consider this before choosing a payment method.

2.5 Information From Third Parties

• Banks, money transfer services, and any payment provider we use, which confirm whether a payment cleared, failed, or was disputed
• Shipping and freight companies used to deliver your order, which provide delivery and tracking status
• Parts suppliers, salvage yards, and remanufacturers, which confirm availability, condition, and fitment, and which in some cases ship the part to you directly
• Fraud-prevention and address-verification services
• Advertising and analytics platforms, which provide aggregated campaign and traffic data

3. How We Use Your Information

• Process, fulfil, ship, and track your order
• Confirm part fitment against your vehicle and VIN
• Take payment and issue refunds, credits, and store credit
• Handle returns, RMAs, warranty claims, and replacements
• Respond to your questions by phone, email, live chat, WhatsApp, or text message
• Send transactional messages such as order confirmations, shipping updates, and return instructions
• Send you text messages about your order or inquiry, but only where you have separately and affirmatively opted in to our SMS program (see Section 7)
• Monitor and record communications. To monitor and record any communications we have with you, including phone conversations and SMS text messaging (in compliance with applicable laws), chat sessions, and emails to ensure we’re providing you with quality service and meeting our legal responsibilities.
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website
• Legal, security, or safety reasons. Such as protecting our and our users’ safety, property, or rights, complying with legal requirements, enforcing our terms, conditions, and policies, detecting, preventing, and responding to security incidents, and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity.
• As part of a corporate transaction. Such as in connection with the sale of part or all of our assets or business, the acquisition of part or all of another business or another business’ assets, or another corporate transaction, including bankruptcy.
• For marketing. Such as sending information on our products and services or those of our affiliates, business partners, or other third parties. This may include using your information to send you in-app messages and notices, email, newsletters, surveys, promotions, or news about events.
• Aggregate and anonymize data for analytics, reporting, and business planning

Text messaging is excluded from the marketing purpose described above. We send text messages only about your own order or inquiry, and only where you have separately opted in under Section 7. We do not send text messages promoting the products or services of affiliates, business partners, or other third parties, and we do not use your mobile number for third-party marketing of any kind.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for monetary compensation. We share it only as described below.

• Banks and payment providers — where a payment method requires it, the bank, money transfer service, or payment provider handling your payment receives the details needed to process, reconcile, refund, or investigate that payment.
• Shipping and freight companies — your name, delivery address, and phone number, so your order can be delivered and so the delivery company can contact you to schedule delivery of large items such as engines and transmissions.
• Suppliers, salvage yards, remanufacturers, and drop-ship partners — the information needed to locate, verify, and ship the correct part to you, including your vehicle details and delivery address. In some cases these partners ship the part to you directly and arrange delivery themselves.
• Service providers — companies that help us operate, including web hosting, order management, email and SMS platforms, live chat, analytics, and call tracking. These vendors act as our subcontractors in support services and may use your information only to provide services to us.
• Advertising partners — third-party advertising and analytics platforms, including Google and Meta (Facebook), may receive certain information through cookies and tags on the Website in order to deliver relevant advertising and measure its performance. This may constitute "sharing" of personal information under certain state privacy laws. Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent data are excluded from all advertising partner sharing. See Section 8 for your opt-out rights.
• Fraud prevention — where we use them, services that help us verify orders and addresses and prevent fraudulent transactions.
• Legal authorities — where required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights, our property, or the safety of others.
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, including in bankruptcy.
• With your consent — at your direction or with your explicit permission.

DO NOT SELL OR SHARE NOTICE: We do not sell your personal information for money. However, sharing information with advertising platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered "sharing" under California’s CCPA/CPRA and similar state laws. To opt out, email us at info@vazautosolutions.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share", or call (240) 301-0095. Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent data are never included in this sharing.
