Privacy policy
Last updated: November 13, 2026 (draft)
Coddfather's PreOwned Autos (“we,” “us”) is a lead brand that shows inventory from affiliated dealerships and collects inquiries from people interested in used vehicles and financing. This page describes, in draft form, how we intend to handle personal information submitted through this website.
Information we collect
When you submit a form, we may collect:
- Name, phone number, email address, and ZIP code
- Preferred area (Baltimore, York–Hanover, or either)
- Budget, desired monthly payment, and down payment range
- Self-reported credit situation and employment/income range
- Trade-in information, if you provide it
- Vehicle of interest and any comments you include
- Your consent to be contacted, and basic technical data such as browser type or pages visited
We do not collect Social Security numbers or dates of birth on this website. This site does not run a credit pull.
How we use and share information
We use the information you submit to review your inquiry, follow up with you, and help match you with a vehicle and possible financing options. Inquiries are received by Coddfather's PreOwned Autos first. We may then share your information with:
- Our affiliated dealerships: [Dealership A name placeholder] and [Dealership B name placeholder] (replace these placeholders before launch)
- Lenders and financing partners, when needed to explore credit or payment options you asked about
- Service providers that host this site or deliver form submissions (for example, Netlify or Formspree), solely to operate the website and deliver leads
We do not sell your information as a standalone product to unaffiliated third-party lead buyers. Sharing with the named affiliated dealerships and with lenders for financing is part of providing the service you requested.
Calls, texts, and email
If you check the consent box on a form, you agree that Coddfather's PreOwned Autos and its affiliated dealerships named on that form may contact you by call, text, or email — including through automated means — at the number and email you provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of texts. You can also ask us to stop contacting you using the phone or email on this site.
Retention, security, and your choices
We intend to keep inquiry records only as long as needed to follow up, complete a possible transaction, and meet recordkeeping or legal requirements. No website is perfectly secure; we will take reasonable steps to protect information in transit and in storage. You may request access to, or correction or deletion of, information we hold about you by contacting us at the email or phone listed on this site (replace the placeholders in js/config.js).
Children
This site is intended for adults who can enter into a vehicle purchase or financing discussion. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy. The “last updated” date will change when a revised version is posted. Questions about privacy can be sent to the contact information published on this website once it is filled in.
