Privacy Policy

Grand Prix Motorcars, Inc.(“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website grandprixmotorcarsads.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

When you submit a lead form (Check Availability, Sell Your Porsche, or Contact), we collect the information you provide directly: name, phone number, email address, ZIP code, vehicle of interest (VIN), any qualifying preferences you supply (financing, trade-in, timing), and any message text.

We also automatically collect device and usage information: IP address, user-agent string, referring URL, pages visited, and marketing attribution parameters (UTM tags, gclid, wbraid, gbraid, fbclid) via first-party cookies and localStorage. This data is used to attribute conversions to advertising campaigns and to improve site performance.

When you submit a lead form inside Facebook or Instagram (an “Instant Form”), Meta sends us the answers you give in that form (name, phone number, email address, the vehicle you asked about, and your answers about timing, payment and trade-in), together with the ad and form it came from. If you choose to chat with us on Facebook Messenger, we receive the messages you send to our Page and the Messenger ID Meta assigns to your conversation with our Page.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Respond to your inquiry about a vehicle or offer.
• Coordinate test drives, virtual walk-arounds, PPI logistics, delivery, financing intros, and trade-in evaluations.
• Send transactional email confirmations and follow-up.
• Measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Meta (Facebook / Instagram) and Google Ads via server-side Conversion APIs.
• Reply to your Messenger messages. A virtual assistant may answer first, using only the details of the vehicle you asked about and our current inventory, to answer questions and arrange a call with our sales team. It tells you it is a virtual assistant if you ask, and you can reach a person at any time or reply “STOP” to end the conversation.
• Comply with legal obligations (record-keeping, tax, business licensing).

3. Information Sharing

We share your form submissions with our internal CRM (DriveCentric) and, where applicable, with logistics partners for delivery coordination. We share hashed identifiers (email, phone) with Meta and Google via server-side APIs for advertising measurement — no plaintext personal data is transmitted for advertising.

To generate virtual-assistant replies, the text of your Messenger conversation and the vehicle details are processed by our AI service provider, Anthropic, which acts as our processor and does not use it to train its models. Messages are sent through Meta’s Messenger Platform. If you ask to speak with our team, we pass a short summary of the conversation to our CRM (DriveCentric).

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your information with lenders unless you explicitly request a financing introduction.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use first-party cookies and localStorage to preserve marketing attribution across visits (30-day last-touch, 90-day first-touch) and to remember non-sensitive preferences. Third-party pixels (Meta Pixel, Google Tag Manager) fire on page load to measure ad effectiveness. You can block these via browser settings or an ad-blocker without losing site functionality.

5. Data Retention

Lead submissions are retained in our CRM indefinitely for after-sale service, warranty coordination, and re-purchase opportunities. Web analytics and attribution data are retained for up to 26 months. Messenger conversation records are kept for up to 24 months unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing privacy@grandprixmotorcars.com or calling (971) 501-1602. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA; Oregon residents have rights under the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act effective July 2024. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. Step-by-step instructions, including for data received from Facebook, Instagram or Messenger, are on our Data Deletion Instructions page.

7. Security

Data is transmitted over HTTPS. Server infrastructure is hosted in the EU (Hetzner) with strict filesystem permissions and no shared hosting. Full technical safeguards are implemented on a best-effort basis; no online transmission is 100% secure.

8. Children

Our site is not directed to individuals under 18 and we do not knowingly collect information from minors.

9. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
