Privacy Policy

Auto Repair Shop Tools is designed so that information you enter into calculators, planners, trackers, checklists, worksheets, and similar tools is processed in your browser unless a specific tool clearly states otherwise.

Auto Repair Shop Tools does not collect the information you enter for the purpose of performing calculations, building shop plans, tracking repair work, reviewing job costs, generating checklists, or producing other tool results unless a specific tool clearly states otherwise.

Some tools use browser storage, such as local storage, to remember information on your device. This can help restore saved estimates, plans, trackers, drafts, preferences, or other working data when you return to the same tool in the same browser.

Information stored this way remains in your browser storage unless you clear it, overwrite it, use a tool feature that removes it, import replacement data, or your browser removes it. Browser storage is specific to the browser and device you use and may not be available in another browser or on another device.

Some tools may also let you export a backup file. Backup files are created for you to save and manage; they are not automatically uploaded to Auto Repair Shop Tools.

Depending on the tool, you may choose to enter shop information such as customer or vehicle references, repair-order or job numbers, technician names, labor hours, labor costs, labor rates, parts costs, pricing, vendor names, invoice references, receiving details, core-return information, sublet-work details, repair notes, quality-control information, deferred-work records, or receivable balances.

When a tool stores that information locally in your browser, you are responsible for deciding what information is appropriate to enter and for protecting access to the device and browser you use.

Avoid entering passwords, payment card details, Social Security numbers, bank-account credentials, security codes, door or alarm codes, account login credentials, or other highly sensitive information unless a tool clearly requires it and explains how it is handled.

Like most websites, Auto Repair Shop Tools and the services used to host, secure, measure, or deliver the site may process standard technical information. This can include information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location derived from an IP address, timestamps, and diagnostic or security data.

This information may be used to operate the site, protect it from abuse, understand general usage, diagnose problems, and improve performance.

Cookies or similar technologies may be used by services that support site functionality, security, analytics, or other site operations.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling some cookies may affect how certain site features or third-party services work.

Auto Repair Shop Tools may use analytics services, including Google Analytics 4 (GA4), to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed, how users navigate the site, and general device or traffic-source information. Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect this information.

Analytics information may be used to improve the website, understand usage trends, and evaluate which tools and pages are useful to visitors. Auto Repair Shop Tools does not intentionally use analytics to collect passwords, payment details, or the content you enter into browser-based tools.

Analytics providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. You can limit or block analytics cookies through your browser settings or other privacy controls available to you.

Auto Repair Shop Tools does not currently display third-party advertising.

If third-party advertising is added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to identify the advertising service and explain the relevant use of cookies or similar technologies. Information entered into browser-based tools is not provided to advertisers by Auto Repair Shop Tools for the purpose of performing calculations or generating tool results.

If you contact Auto Repair Shop Tools, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, message, tool name, and any other information you include.

If a contact form is provided, submissions may be processed through a third-party form service used by the site to deliver the information you submit to Auto Repair Shop Tools.

This information may be used to respond to your message, handle a request, investigate a problem, or maintain necessary records related to the communication.

Auto Repair Shop Tools may rely on third-party providers for hosting, security, analytics, contact-form processing, or other site operations. The site may also link to external websites.

Third-party services and external websites have their own privacy practices. Auto Repair Shop Tools is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites and services that it does not control.

• You can clear browser storage and cookies through your browser settings.
• You can choose not to enter personal, customer, employee, technician, vendor, or other sensitive information into a tool unless it is necessary for your own use.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us through the Contact page.

Information stored in your browser remains there until it is cleared, overwritten, removed by a tool feature, replaced through an import or restore action, or removed by the browser. Backup files you export remain wherever you choose to save them until you delete or replace them.

Information you send when you contact us may be kept for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, handle the request, maintain appropriate records, or meet applicable obligations.

Hosting, security, analytics, and contact-form providers may retain information according to their own operational, security, and privacy practices.
