Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 24, 2026

Who runs this site

Used New Car, at www.used-new-car.com, is operated from the United States by the Used New Car Editorial Team. This policy explains what information the site handles and what choices you have. It describes only what actually happens on the site today. For privacy questions, write to privacy@used-new-car.com.

What information is collected

The site has no user accounts, no paid memberships and no newsletter, and it sells nothing, so we do not collect names, payment details or passwords. Comments are turned off. Three kinds of information are involved:

  • Server logs. Our web host keeps standard logs that record your IP address, browser type and the pages requested.
  • Contact messages. If you send a message through the contact form, it is delivered by email to our editorial inbox. We do not use the form data for anything else.
  • Search appearance data. We use Google Search Console to see how the site appears in Google Search. It does not place cookies on your browser.

The site does not show display ads at the moment, and it sets no analytics cookies of its own.

Why we use it and how long we keep it

Server logs help keep the site secure and let us troubleshoot problems. Emails are used to read and answer your message. Search Console data helps us understand which pages appear in search and whether anything is broken. We keep this information only as long as it is useful for those purposes, or as long as our host’s routine log practices require, and then it is removed in the ordinary course.

Cookies and affiliate links

The site itself sets no analytics cookies. Affiliate links are different. When you click one, the store or network may set its own cookie to credit the referral. Used New Car earns commissions through Amazon, which has its own privacy policy and its own cookie practices. We do not control those, so please review Amazon’s policy if you want to know what it collects. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. See our Affiliate Disclosure for how the links work.

Third-party links

Our articles link to other websites, mostly stores. Once you leave Used New Car, this policy no longer applies. Those sites have their own rules for data and cookies.

Children’s privacy

Used New Car is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, tell us at the privacy address above and we will delete it.

Your choices and rights

Residents of some U.S. states have rights over personal information, such as asking what a business holds about them or asking for it to be deleted. You can make a request by emailing privacy@used-new-car.com. Because we keep so little, the answer will often be short, but we will respond honestly. Our web host holds the server logs, so some requests may involve them.

Security

We rely on our web host’s standard security measures to protect the site and its logs. No website can promise perfect security, and we do not claim otherwise.

Changes to this policy

If our practices change, we will update this page and the date at the top. Please check back occasionally. Other pages that may help are our Terms of Service and Contact Us.
