Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. Who we are
Car Care PH ("we", "us", "our") operates the website carcareph.com — a free directory of automotive service shops in the Philippines. If you have questions about this policy, email hello@carcareph.com.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you submit a shop listing or create an account, we collect the details you provide: shop name, address, phone number, email address, and any other information you choose to include.
Usage and analytics data
We use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site. These tools collect data such as pages visited, time on page, device type, and general location (city level). This data is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify individual users from it.
Location data
If you use the "Find Shops Near Me" feature, your browser will request your GPS location. This data is processed entirely in your browser to calculate distances — it is never sent to our servers.
Shop listing data
Shop names, addresses, phone numbers, and operating hours are sourced from publicly available information. We make reasonable efforts to verify and keep this data accurate.
3. How we use your information
- To display and maintain shop listings on the directory.
- To allow shop owners to manage and update their listings.
- To improve the site based on aggregated usage patterns.
- To respond to your enquiries or reports.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Cookies and third-party tools
We use the following third-party services which may set cookies or collect data:
- Google Analytics 4 — usage analytics (Google Privacy Policy)
- Microsoft Clarity — session recordings and heatmaps (Microsoft Privacy Statement)
- Google Fonts — typefaces loaded from Google servers (Google Privacy Policy)
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Data retention
Shop listing data is retained for as long as the shop appears to be operating. If you are a shop owner and wish to have your listing removed, email hello@carcareph.com. We will process removal requests within 2 business days.
Account information is retained for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion at any time by emailing us.
6. Your rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legitimate operational needs).
- Object to or restrict our processing of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@carcareph.com.
7. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information on this site, including HTTPS encryption and restricted access to backend systems. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be noted at the top of this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
