True Motion Auto collects information you give us directly (an email address if you ask to join the newsletter, plus whatever you put in an email to us — the site itself has no forms or comments), automatically (device/browser data, cookies, analytics), and from tools embedded on the site (calculators). We do not sell your personal information for money. Depending on where you live — including under California's CCPA/CPRA and similar US state laws, and the EU/UK GDPR — you may have rights to access, delete, or opt out of certain data uses; see the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information and Submit a Privacy Request to exercise them.

What information we collect
We collect information in three ways: information you provide directly (your email address, and anything you choose to include, when you email us to join the newsletter or for any other reason — there are no forms, comment fields or accounts on this site); information collected automatically (IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP, via cookies and analytics tools); and information from interactive tools (inputs you enter into calculators, which are processed to display a result and are not stored tied to your identity unless you separately submit them through a form).
How we use information
- To operate and improve the site (understand which guides are read, fix broken pages)
- To send newsletters or respond to messages you send us
- To serve relevant advertising through third-party ad networks
- To detect and block spam and abuse in the messages sent to us
Sharing and "sale" of information
We do not sell personal information to third parties for money. However, some US state privacy laws (including California's CCPA/CPRA) define "sale" and "share" broadly enough to include certain advertising-related data sharing with ad-tech partners, even without a cash transaction. Where that applies, you can opt out via our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, including by using a browser-based Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we honor as an opt-out request.
Cookies and tracking
Advertising, analytics and third-party vendors
This site is funded by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
The named third-party services operating on True Motion Auto are: Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-9061428444109474), which selects and delivers the advertising you see; Google Analytics 4 (property G-1SP8YC61D8), which tells us which pages are read and for how long, in aggregate; and Google Tag Manager (container GTM-M3H9GQFP), which loads those two services. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising. Google's ad settings let you turn off ad personalisation across Google's services at https://www.google.com/settings/ads (also reachable as My Ad Center at https://myadcenter.google.com). To opt out of personalised advertising from many vendors at once, use the industry tools at https://optout.aboutads.info (Digital Advertising Alliance), https://optout.networkadvertising.org (Network Advertising Initiative) or, in the UK and Europe, https://www.youronlinechoices.com.
Opting out of personalised advertising does not remove advertising from the site — you will still see ads, but they will not be selected using your browsing history. You can also refuse advertising and analytics cookies outright using the consent banner shown on your first visit, or by reopening it at any time from the Cookie settings link in our footer.
Your privacy rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to know what personal information we hold about you, request a copy of it, request correction or deletion, and opt out of certain sharing for advertising. US state laws (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and others enacted since 2023) and the EU/UK GDPR each define these rights slightly differently; we honor requests according to the law that applies to you.
How to submit a request
Use the Submit a Privacy Request to submit an access, correction, deletion or opt-out request. We verify your identity before fulfilling requests that involve personal data, and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (commonly 30-45 days, depending on jurisdiction).
If your browser sends a GPC opt-out signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of sale/sharing for that browser, consistent with California and other state-law requirements — you do not need to submit a separate form in addition to a working GPC signal.
Data retention and security
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected (e.g., newsletter data until you unsubscribe, emails you send us for a limited support window) and use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect it, though no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
True Motion Auto is not directed to children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
