Overview
GarageWish is a simple tool that helps you search for and save car images. This policy explains how we handle your data.
Data Stored in Your Browser
When you save cars to your collection, this data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
Search Queries
When you search for cars, your search query is sent to our servers and then to third-party image search services to retrieve results. We cache search results on our servers to improve performance but do not associate these queries with any personal information.
Anonymous Analytics
We keep anonymous, aggregate counts of activity - such as how many searches and saves happen and which car searches are popular - to understand how GarageWish is used. This is not linked to your name, email, or any account, and our own analytics do not use cookies or tracking pixels. To tell visitors apart for these counts, our server derives a temporary, scrambled code from your IP address; this code changes every day, and we never store your IP address. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless service that reports aggregate page views without building visitor profiles.
No Account or Personal Information
GarageWish does not require an account and does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details.
Advertising and Cookies
GarageWish uses Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to GarageWish and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some other third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. You can read more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Apart from these advertising cookies set by Google and its partners, GarageWish itself does not set any cookies.
Affiliate Links
GarageWish participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Some outbound links (for example, the "Shop on Amazon" buttons that suggest die-cast model cars) are affiliate links. When you click one, Amazon may set its own cookies and receive a referral tag so any resulting purchase is credited to us; this is governed by Amazon's privacy notice, not ours. We do not share any of your information with Amazon; clicking is entirely your choice. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy by posting a revised version on this page.
