Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

What we collect

When you use Parts Saver, we collect and store on our servers:

• Your email address and a hashed form of your password, used for your account.
• The cars you add — make, model, year, trim and engine.
• All parts data recorded from supported parts sites — part numbers, part names, descriptions, prices, availability, position and diagram references, categories, vehicle info, source page URLs, and related page context. With auto-save on (the default), the parts listed on catalog pages you open are recorded to your account automatically; you can also select parts manually.

How we store and retain data

Saved parts and vehicle data are stored on our servers. This data may be retained after account changes or deletion — including tier downgrades, removal of cars, or account closure — and used in aggregate for service improvement (for example, improving part detection and catalog coverage).

Reminders stay in your browser

"Need to Buy" reminders are stored only in your browser (extension local storage) and scheduled with Chrome's local alarm system. We never receive your reminder dates or notes — the only thing stored on our servers is the yes/no "need to buy" flag on a saved part.

VIN lookup

If you look up a car by its VIN, we send only the VIN to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) vehicle database to identify the make, model and year. We do not send your name, email, or any other personal information with it; VIN lookups are rate-limited and cached.

What we don't do

• We do not sell your personal data.
• The extension never reads pages outside supported OEM parts sites. On supported sites, auto-save (on by default) records the parts listings on pages you open — you can turn it off any time in the extension popup or the on-page panel and select parts manually instead.

Account deletion

You can request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Your account and login details will be removed; saved parts data may be retained in anonymized or aggregate form as described above.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and note the new effective date above. Continued use of Parts Saver after a change means you accept the updated policy.
