Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2, 2026

This policy explains what information Garden State Car Deals collects through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

When you submit a form on this site, we collect the information you give us — typically your name, phone number, email address, and any message or vehicle details you include, plus any photos you upload.

We also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, including IP address, approximate location derived from that IP address (city, region, ZIP, country), browser and device information (user agent), the pages you view, and referral information.

How we use it

  • To respond to you about a vehicle you asked about or a vehicle you want to sell.
  • To contact you by text message, phone call, or email about your inquiry.
  • To keep records of inquiries and sales.
  • To measure and improve our advertising.
  • To meet legal, tax, and title/registration recordkeeping obligations.

Advertising, cookies, and tracking

This site uses the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Meta's Conversions API. These tools set cookies and send event information to Meta Platforms, Inc. so we can measure our ads and reach people who may be interested in our vehicles.

The information sent may include a hashed (encrypted) version of your name, email address, and phone number, along with your IP address, browser user agent, page URL, an anonymous identifier we generate for your browser, and Meta's own cookie identifiers. Hashing means Meta receives a scrambled value rather than your plain contact details.

You can limit this by using your browser's cookie controls, your device's ad-tracking settings, or your ad preferences inside Facebook and Instagram.

Text message (SMS) consent

If you submit a form or text us, you consent to receive text messages from us about your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to stop receiving texts, or HELP for help. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with service providers who help us operate this site and our advertising (our website and database hosting provider and Meta), and when required by law, subpoena, or to complete a vehicle title transfer with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.

Sharing information with advertising platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising may be treated as a "sale" or "sharing" under some state privacy laws. You can opt out by contacting us using the details below.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of targeted advertising. New Jersey residents have these rights under the New Jersey Data Privacy Act. To make a request, contact us using the information below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Data retention and security

We keep inquiry records for as long as needed to respond to you, complete a sale, and satisfy legal and tax recordkeeping requirements. We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the information we store, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above will change when we do. For privacy questions or requests, contact Garden State Car Deals using the contact form on any vehicle page, or by replying to any text message you have received from us.
