Last Modified: November 6, 2019
CarFilm is a video sharing application to help car dealerships connect with their customers on a more personal level.
Privacy Policy
When you use our services—and any others we at CarFilm LLC. roll out, whether in the CarFilm app or elsewhere—you’ll share some information with us and we understand that it can affect your privacy. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the choices we give you to control, access, and update your information.
That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy. And it’s why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us.
Information We Collect
There are two basic categories of information we collect:
• Information you choose to give us.
• Information we collect when you use our services.
Here’s a little more detail on these categories.
Information You Choose to Give Us
When you interact with our services, we collect the information that you choose to share with us. For example, most of our services require you to set up a basic account, so we need to collect a few important details about you, such as: an email address, a phone number, and a password. To make it easier for others to find you, we may also ask you to provide us with some additional information that will be publicly visible on our services, such as profile pictures, a name, or other useful identifying information.
Of course, you’ll also provide us information you send through the services, such as videos. Keep in mind that the people you send your videos, and any other content to can always save that content or copy it outside the app. So, the same common sense that applies to the Internet at large applies to CarFilm as well: Don’t send messages or share content that you wouldn’t want someone to save or share.
Information We Collect When You Use Our Services
When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you’ve used and how you’ve used them. We might know, for instance, that you watched a particular video and the time spent watching. Here’s a fuller explanation of the types of information we collect when you use our services (to learn about how you can control some of this information, be sure to read the aptly titled Control over Your Information section below):

• Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies.
Like most online services and mobile applications, we may use cookies and other technologies, such as web beacons, web storage, and unique advertising identifiers, to collect information about your activity, browser, and device. We may also use these technologies to collect information when you interact with services we offer through one of our partners, such as commerce features. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually remove or reject browser cookies through the settings on your browser or device. Keep in mind, though, that removing or rejecting cookies could affect the availability and functionality of our services.
