Carsmart Inc ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Salvager mobile application and website at salvager.bid (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use the Service.
Information We Collect
When you create an account or use Salvager, we collect:
- Account information: Name, email address, phone number, ZIP code, and (if applicable) company name.
- Listing information: Photos, make, model, year, condition, and location of vehicles you list for sale.
- Communication information: SMS messages sent or received through the Service.
- Usage information: How you interact with the app, including device type, IP address, and approximate location.
How We Use Your Information
- To create and manage your account.
- To send SMS verification codes during signup.
- To notify dealers and junkyards of new listings that match their preferences.
- To send SMS notifications about bids on your listings (to opted-in users only).
- To improve the Service and develop new features.
- To comply with legal obligations.
SMS Messaging
SMS messages are sent only to users who have explicitly opted in via the dedicated SMS consent checkbox during account signup in the Salvager app, or by enabling SMS Notifications in the app's Profile screen. Providing a phone number for account verification does not by itself constitute consent to receive ongoing SMS notifications — consent is separate and optional.
If you opt in, you agree to receive SMS messages from Salvager (Carsmart Inc), including bid alerts, listing notifications, and account verification codes. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies based on your activity. You may withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to any Salvager message, or by toggling SMS Notifications off in the app. Reply HELP for assistance. SMS messages are sent from +1 (888) 281-4214. See our SMS Opt-In page for full details.
We do not share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes.
How We Share Your Information
We share information only as follows:
- With dealers, junkyards, and towing companies on our network: When you list a vehicle, the listing details (excluding your full contact information) are shared with potential buyers in your area so they can place bids.
- With service providers: We use trusted third parties (such as Twilio for SMS delivery, Google Firebase for hosting and authentication) to operate the Service. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- For legal reasons: We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of users.
Data Retention
We retain account information for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account at any time by emailing bids@salvager.bid.
Your Rights
You may access, correct, or delete your personal information by contacting us at bids@salvager.bid. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws.
Children's Privacy
Salvager is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
