We collect the following types of information:

- Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) — entered by you to look up vehicle data. VINs are used solely to retrieve publicly available vehicle information on your behalf.
- ZIP codes — entered by you to calculate applicable state taxes and registration fees. ZIP codes are not stored beyond the current session.
- Usage data — standard server logs may capture your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for security and performance monitoring only.
We do not collect payment information. TotalOTD.com is a free service and we do not process financial transactions.

- Retrieve vehicle data from third-party data providers (Auto.dev) on your behalf.
- Calculate estimated taxes and fees relevant to your location.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Third-Party Services
TotalOTD.com uses the following third-party services to operate:
- Auto.dev — vehicle listing and data provider. When you enter a VIN, we transmit that VIN to Auto.dev to retrieve vehicle information.

We do not send promotional emails or share your email address with third-party marketers.
5. Data Retention
Email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. VINs and ZIP codes entered during a session are not stored after your session ends. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes.
