The whole thing in five lines
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is anything sold or rented? | No. Not to anyone, ever, under any arrangement. |
| Are there cookies? | Two, both from Google Analytics. Nothing advertising-related. |
| Who else sees an inquiry? | Cloudflare, Google Analytics and Telegram. That is the list. |
| Does the site need JavaScript? | No. Block all of it and every form still posts. |
| Can I have it all deleted? | Yes, by email, within thirty days, no reason required. |
The rest of this page is the same five answers with the detail attached. If something below does not match what you observe the site doing, that is a defect and we want to hear about it.
The company behind the site
Car Dealership Cleaning, 7901 4th St N, Ste 300, St. Petersburg, FL 33702, USA. Everything in this policy is handled at support@cardealershipcleaning.com, which is read by a person rather than a ticketing system.
What the form sends us
The quote form carries seven things, and six of them are yours to leave blank:
- The type of business asking — franchised store, independent used-car dealer, group, collision center, service facility, powersports, a cleaning company or a job seeker
- The name of the store
- Floor area in scope and how many service bays
- The cover you are after — nights, porter, periodics
- City and state
- Which page on this site the form was sent from
- A work email address, which is the one field we cannot do without
There is no phone field, no company-size field and no budget field, because none of them help us scope a building and all of them raise the cost of a wrong answer for you.
What the connection reveals on its own
Independently of what you type, a submission arrives carrying the country, region and city that Cloudflare works out from the network route, the page that referred you, and the user-agent string your browser announces. They are kept with the inquiry because that combination is what shows which metros and which pages are worth another month of work.
Your IP address is treated differently and deliberately so. It is used for exactly one purpose — counting submissions per address so the form cannot be flooded, capped at five in any hour. That counter expires by itself after sixty minutes and is never written into the inquiry record, so it cannot be joined back to you afterwards.
Cookies, and the single measurement tool
Google Analytics 4 runs here and sets two cookies, _ga and
_ga_QDQC6N1PHV. Their job is to separate one visit from another so we can tell which
pages bring in work and which are simply read.
On submission we also raise one event recording the category chosen in the first dropdown — dealer, contractor, job seeker — because a page that generates a hundred job applications and no quotes is failing at something we would otherwise not see. That event carries a category and nothing else: no name, no address, no free text.
Absent entirely: advertising pixels, remarketing tags, conversion trackers, heatmaps, session recorders, chat widgets and every other third-party script. Google's own opt-out add-on or a cookie block for this domain will switch the analytics off, and nothing on the site degrades when you do it — the forms are plain HTML posts and the navigation menu is built from CSS.
Where an inquiry travels
It is written to a Cloudflare D1 database located in the eastern United States, reachable only through an administrative page behind a password. In parallel a notification containing the submission is delivered to us over Telegram, which is how we answer the same day rather than the next one. Those two, plus the analytics event described above, are the complete set of outside parties.
Nothing is sold. Nothing is rented. Nothing is passed to any company so that they can market to you. If your store sits outside the markets where we run our own employed crews, the work would be delivered by a partner contractor — and in that case we give you their name and get your agreement before any detail of yours reaches them. The form promises that; this paragraph is where the promise is on the record.
How long each thing survives
| Record | Lifetime |
|---|---|
| An inquiry we answered but did not convert | Two years from the last exchange |
| A client, current or former | The relationship, then seven years for tax and contract records |
| An application to join as a partner contractor | Three years, or sooner on request |
| The anti-flood counter tied to an IP address | Sixty minutes, then automatic |
| Anything held by Google Analytics | Fourteen months, Google's own default |
What you can require of us
Regardless of where you live: ask for a copy of what we hold, ask for a correction, or ask for erasure. Send it to support@cardealershipcleaning.com naming which of the three you want. It is done inside thirty days and we do not ask you to explain yourself.
Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia and the other states that have passed consumer privacy statutes hold those rights as a matter of law, including a right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. There is no sale or sharing here for you to opt out of, but the route is identical and using it will never change how we treat you.
Not a site for children
The audience is adults buying or supplying commercial cleaning services. We do not knowingly take information from anyone under 18, and if we learn we have, it is deleted.
When this changes
The revision date at the top moves. Changes are not made quietly, and a new version is never applied retroactively to information you handed over under an older one.
This is a description of how the site actually behaves, in plain English, not legal advice.
