Information we collect
We process your account identifier, display name and verified account email; vehicle details, photos, installed parts, notes, optional biography and social links; comments, follows, votes, build-view activity and message content; and membership, purchase and reward records. Hosting and email services also process technical delivery, device, network and security information. Shopify handles account authentication, checkout and payment details.
How we use it
We use this information to operate your Garage, publish builds you choose to publish, connect parts to builds, deliver messages and requested updates, calculate rewards, administer membership, prevent abuse, resolve support requests and meet legal obligations. Session cookies keep you signed in. Public build views are recorded to provide build statistics.
What becomes public
Published builds, their photos, installed-part details, public notes, comments, display name and optional biography or social links can be viewed, shared, indexed and copied by others. Published builds may appear together on your builder profile and on product pages featuring those parts. Do not publish home addresses, precise private locations, license plates, identifying documents or other sensitive details. Remove photo location metadata before uploading if you do not want it disclosed; we do not promise to remove it automatically.
Private questions and email replies
Published builders can receive private questions by default while messaging is enabled. Conversations are available to their participants, and authorized personnel and service providers may process them for operation, support, security and legal needs. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. Relay addresses hide personal email addresses from the other participant; email signatures, quoted text or details you type may still identify you. Do not include sensitive personal information. You can close conversations or block a participant in My Garage.
Service providers and other disclosures
Shopify provides accounts, commerce and checkout; Supabase provides database and storage; Vercel hosts the Club; and Resend processes relay emails and delivery events. These providers receive information needed for their services. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect users and the service, or as part of a business transfer subject to applicable protections. Clicking a manufacturer or social link takes you to another provider with its own privacy practices.
Your choices and requests
Edit your Garage and optional public profile, remove photos or mods, or unpublish a build to stop its future public display on the Club. Copies held by other people, search engines or email recipients may remain. Manage builder email-update preferences in My Garage; essential account, transaction and conversation notices are separate from marketing subscriptions. Contact us to request access, corrections, deletion or an applicable privacy opt-out. We may verify your identity before acting and retain records where necessary for transactions, security, disputes or legal obligations. You may request that covered personal information not be sold where applicable law provides that right.
Retention, security and children
We retain information as needed to provide the service, administer purchases and rewards, prevent abuse and meet legal requirements. Deleted information may remain temporarily in backups or records required for those purposes. We use access restrictions and security measures, but no online service can guarantee complete security. Club accounts and paid membership are intended for adults 18 and older. Contact us about a child’s information or an unauthorized photo.
Policy changes and contact
We post policy changes here with an updated date and provide additional notice or obtain consent when required. For privacy requests, content removal or questions, email discounted.offroad@gmail.com with the subject “Club Privacy Request,” or use our contact form. Include the relevant build URL, but do not send passwords or payment-card details.
