Privacy Policy

  1. Yes. For Avitron Auto LLC, I would use a combined Privacy, Website, Advertising & Online Sales Policy rather than a generic privacy policy. That gives you broader protection for leads coming from AvitronAuto.com, Facebook/Instagram, Google, online vehicle listings, financing inquiries, calls/texts, and remote transactions.

  2. This is especially timely because California's new CARS Act takes effect October 1, 2026, with requirements affecting advertised vehicle pricing, first written communications, add-ons, cancellation rights, and dealership recordkeeping. (DMV California) Google also requires businesses using Google Ads lead forms to provide a privacy-policy URL. (Google Help)

  3. Here is a strong starting version:

  144. Avitron Auto makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate information; however, typographical errors, data-feed errors, photography errors, equipment-description errors or other unintentional mistakes may occur.

  147. 9. VEHICLE AVAILABILITY

  148. All vehicles are subject to prior sale.

  150. Customers should contact Avitron Auto to confirm current availability.

  151. Unless expressly stated in a written agreement signed or electronically accepted by Avitron Auto, an inquiry, application, text message, email, telephone conversation or online submission does not reserve a vehicle.

  153. An online inquiry or electronic communication alone does not constitute a completed vehicle sale.

  165. 11. DEPOSITS AND VEHICLE HOLDS

  166. The terms governing any vehicle deposit or hold will be disclosed at the time the deposit is accepted.

  167. A deposit should not be considered refundable or nonrefundable solely because an online advertisement, text message or website page describes it that way. The applicable written deposit agreement, transaction documents and California law control.

  168. A deposit does not constitute final financing approval.

  169. 12. USED VEHICLE CONDITION AND WARRANTIES

  170. Used vehicles may have normal wear, cosmetic imperfections, mechanical wear, prior repairs or other conditions consistent with their age, mileage and history.

  171. Customers are encouraged to inspect vehicles and may request an independent inspection before purchase where reasonably permitted.

  172. Whether a vehicle is sold AS IS or with a warranty is determined by the applicable FTC Buyer's Guide and transaction documents provided for the particular vehicle.

  179. Nothing in this section limits any disclosure obligation imposed upon Avitron Auto by law.

  196. Applicable taxes, registration charges, title charges, government fees and other legally permitted charges will be disclosed and collected as required by California law and the applicable transaction documents.

  197. Optional products or services are not required unless expressly permitted or required by law and properly disclosed.

  198. 16. CANCELLATION AND RETURN RIGHTS

  199. There is no general federal three-day right to cancel every automobile transaction.

  200. Any cancellation, return or cooling-off right available to a purchaser will be governed by applicable California law and the documents provided for the particular transaction.

  201. Avitron Auto will provide legally required cancellation rights and disclosures when applicable.

  202. Nothing in this Policy waives or limits a consumer right that cannot legally be waived.

  203. 17. TELEPHONE CALLS, TEXT MESSAGES AND EMAIL

  204. When a consumer voluntarily provides a telephone number or email address and requests information, Avitron Auto may use that information to respond regarding vehicles, appointments, valuations, financing or other requested services.

  205. Where separate consent is required for marketing calls or automated/text communications, Avitron Auto will obtain the consent required by applicable law.

  206. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing a vehicle or obtaining financing where prohibited by law.

  207. Message and data rates may apply.

  208. Recipients may generally reply STOP to marketing text messages to request that marketing texts cease. Transactional communications may continue where permitted or required by law.

  209. 18. DATA SECURITY

  210. Avitron Auto uses reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards intended to protect personal and customer information.

  211. No internet transmission, electronic storage system or security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

  258. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Avitron Auto shall not be responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising solely from a person's use of, or inability to access, the website or third-party online services.

  259. This provision does not limit liability or consumer rights where limitation is prohibited by law and does not waive any obligation imposed on a licensed California motor vehicle dealer.

  260. 26. MISUSE OF WEBSITE

  261. Users may not:

  262. Attempt unauthorized access to Avitron Auto systems

  263. Submit intentionally false or fraudulent information

  269. 27. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

  270. Unless otherwise indicated, Avitron Auto names, logos, photographs, graphics, website content and original advertising materials are owned by or licensed to Avitron Auto LLC.

  271. Unauthorized commercial copying, reproduction or distribution is prohibited to the extent permitted by law.

  272. Third-party trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

  273. 28. GOVERNING LAW

  274. This Policy and use of the Avitron Auto website are governed by the laws of the State of California, without limiting any mandatory consumer protections available under applicable law.

  275. Any provision of this Policy determined to be unenforceable will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary while the remaining provisions remain in effect.

  276. 29. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

  277. Avitron Auto may update this Policy periodically to reflect changes in law, technology, advertising platforms or dealership practices.

  278. The current version will be posted at www.AvitronAuto.com with the applicable effective or revision date.

  279. Material changes will be handled as required by applicable law.

  280. 30. CONTACT AVITRON AUTO LLC

  281. Questions regarding this Policy or requests regarding personal information may be submitted to:

  282. Avitron Auto LLC
    [DEALERSHIP STREET ADDRESS]
    [City, California ZIP]
    Telephone: [PHONE NUMBER]
    Email: [PRIVACY EMAIL]
    Website: www.AvitronAuto.com

  283. Privacy requests should include enough information for Avitron Auto to reasonably identify the requester and understand the request. Do not include a Social Security number or complete financial account information in an unsecured email.

  284. NOTICE: This Policy is intended to describe Avitron Auto LLC's general online, advertising and privacy practices. It does not modify or eliminate any disclosure, notice, documentation, pricing, advertising, cancellation, warranty, financing, privacy or recordkeeping requirement imposed by federal or California law.

  285. A few important reasons I included those sections: California privacy law can require disclosure of what information is collected, why it is collected, and — for covered businesses — rights such as access, deletion, correction, opt-out of sale/sharing, limitation of sensitive-information use, and non-discrimination. (Leginfo) The FTC also treats most dealers that finance or lease vehicles as financial institutions subject to the Safeguards Rule, including written information-security requirements. (Federal Trade Commission) And the FTC confirms that the Buyer's Guide requirement also applies when a used vehicle is purchased online, which is why I made your signed documents and Buyer's Guide control over web descriptions. (Consumer Advice)

  286. Before publishing it, fill in your dealership address, telephone number, and privacy email. Because the California CARS Act takes effect October 1, 2026, I would also recommend having your dealer attorney/compliance provider review this once before launch; the policy itself does not substitute for the new pricing and transaction procedures required inside your actual ads, texts, emails, sales forms, and dealership process. (DMV California)

  287. I can also create a separate Terms & Conditions / Website Terms of Use for Avitron Auto that is even more focused on protecting you from listing errors, dposits, vehicle condition disputes, financing disputes, Facebook Marketplace leads, online purchases, and website misuse.
