Effective Date: June 23, 2026
Auto AI LLC ("Auto AI", "we", "us", "our") operates Radar by Auto AI™ (the "Service") at radar.autoai.inc and related properties. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect, how we use it, the limited circumstances under which we disclose it, and the choices and rights available to you. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you must immediately stop accessing or using the Service.
1. Scope of the Service
Radar by Auto AI™ provides four features, and this Policy covers only the data handling required to deliver them:
- VDP compliance scanning of the Customer's own public vehicle detail pages against FTC Act § 5 and state automotive-advertising rules.
- Meta ads compliance scanning of ads publicly published for the Customer's store in Meta's public Ad Library.
- Competitor VDP compliance scanning of the public vehicle detail pages of competitor stores the Customer identifies (available on higher plans).
- AI Copilot, which summarizes and answers questions about the scan results above.
Anything outside these four features is out of scope and does not apply to Radar by Auto AI™. We do not operate CRM, DMS, survey, reputation-management, or Google Business Profile products, and we do not collect consumer, shopper, or lead data on behalf of Customers.
2. Who this policy applies to
This Policy applies to (a) automotive dealerships and their authorized personnel who subscribe to or evaluate the Service ("Customers") and (b) visitors to our marketing website. The relationship between Auto AI and each category is materially different and is described separately below.
3. Information we collect
3.1 Information Customers provide
- Account data: business name, dealership address, contact name, business email, phone number, role, and authentication credentials.
- Configuration data: the Customer's own website, and the competitor stores and websites the Customer asks us to scan.
- Billing data: processed exclusively by our third-party payment processor; we never store full card numbers.
- Communications: messages you send to support or sales, including any attachments.
3.2 Information we collect automatically from Customers
- Usage telemetry: pages viewed, features used, scans run, Copilot queries submitted, session timestamps, error logs.
- Device and network data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, referring URL, time zone, language.
- Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookie Policy.
3.3 Compliance scanning
As the core of the Service, Radar by Auto AI™ scans the Customer's own public vehicle detail pages, the Meta ads publicly running for the Customer's store, and — on plans that include it — the public vehicle detail pages of competitor stores the Customer identifies. Our algorithm reviews advertised prices, stacked conditional rebates, disclosures, and other publicly displayed content for signals that may relate to Section 5 of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") Act (15 USC § 45) and analogous state automotive-advertising and deceptive-pricing rules. The FTC's CARS Rule (16 CFR Part 463) was vacated and withdrawn effective February 12, 2026; the Service does not assert it as live law, and evaluates only the standards Section 5 and state law continue to reach. This is a monitoring tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee of compliance. The algorithm is probabilistic and does not guarantee 100% accuracy; it may produce false positives, miss issues that exist, or fail to detect a non-compliant page or ad. Auto AI is not responsible or liable for any regulatory action, investigation, lawsuit, fine, penalty, or third-party claim arising from a compliance issue the Service did or did not catch. The Customer remains solely responsible for the legality of its own advertising.
3.4 Information gathered from public sources
To operate the features in Section 1, Auto AI collects information that is publicly available on the internet: pricing, offers, and disclosures published on dealership and competitor vehicle detail pages, page screenshots, and advertisements published in Meta's public Ad Library. This information is not collected from Customers and does not constitute personal information of Customers. To the extent it incidentally identifies a natural person, Auto AI processes it solely to produce compliance findings and not to evaluate, profile, or target that individual.
4. How we use information
Auto AI uses information solely to: (a) provide, maintain, secure, and improve the four features described in Section 1; (b) authenticate users and enforce access controls; (c) bill Customers and prevent fraud; (d) respond to support requests; (e) generate aggregated, de-identified analytics; (f) comply with legal obligations; and (g) enforce our Terms of Service. We do not sell personal information.
5. Roles under privacy law (Controller / Processor)
With respect to Customer account data and usage telemetry, Auto AI acts as the business / controller. Public page and ad data processed under Sections 3.3–3.4 is not personal information of the Customer or its end users and is processed by Auto AI in its own capacity to operate the Service.
6. Disclosure of information
Auto AI does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose information only as follows:
- Subprocessors: cloud hosting, database, email delivery, error monitoring, payment processing, and AI model providers, each bound by written confidentiality and security obligations. A current list is available on request.
- Within Customer organization: data submitted on behalf of a Customer is accessible to authorized personnel of that Customer.
- Legal compliance: when required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Auto AI, our users, or the public.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to confidentiality.
7. International transfers
The Service is hosted in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand and consent to the transfer of your information to the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your jurisdiction.
8. Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Compliance-monitoring records (snapshots of Customer and competitor public vehicle detail pages and Meta ads) are retained for the period necessary to support trend analysis and historical comparison and may be retained indefinitely in aggregated form. Aggregate, de-identified data may be retained indefinitely.
9. Security
Auto AI maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+), encryption at rest, role-based access controls, row-level security at the database layer, vendor security reviews, and logging. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials.
10. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to (a) access the personal information we hold about you, (b) request correction or deletion, (c) request a copy in a portable format, (d) object to or restrict certain processing, (e) opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" (we do neither), and (f) withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Customers may submit verifiable requests by emailing privacy@autoai.inc. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.
11. Children
The Service is intended exclusively for business use by adults. It is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
12. California-specific disclosures
In the preceding twelve months, Auto AI has collected the categories of personal information described in Section 3 and has disclosed them only to the subprocessors described in Section 6. Auto AI has not sold personal information and has not shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents may exercise the rights described in Section 10. We do not discriminate against any individual for exercising a privacy right.
13. AI processing disclosure
The compliance scanning described in Section 3.3 and the AI Copilot both use large-language-model and other AI systems to analyze, classify, and summarize information. Copilot prompts and scan content are sent to our AI model providers solely to generate that output and are not used to train third-party public models. Output generated by these systems is probabilistic, may be inaccurate or incomplete, and must not be treated as legal or professional advice. The Customer remains solely responsible for any business or compliance decision made on the basis of Service output, and Auto AI is not liable for any consequence of relying on it.
14. Third-party links and sources
The Service may link to or display information sourced from third-party websites that Auto AI does not control. Those third parties have their own privacy policies, and Auto AI is not responsible for their practices.
15. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "Effective Date." Material changes will be communicated to account owners by email. Your continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
