Privacy policy

CarsWithJB is the personal website of Jabbran (“JB”), a car sales consultant at a dealership in Northern Virginia. The cars on this site are offered by that dealership. The site is not the official website of any dealership or of Nissan North America, Inc.

We collect what you choose to send us on a form, plus a few details about how you found the site:

• Pre-qualification answers: what you're shopping for and when, the credit range you choose, your down payment, the monthly payment you're aiming for, whether you have a trade-in or a co-buyer, how you earn your income, how long you've had it and your gross monthly income. Also the car you picked and any numbers you bring over from the payment calculator.
• Car requests and messages: what you tell JB on the Find my car, I'm interested and contact forms, such as the car you describe, your budget, the features you need, when you plan to buy, whether you have a trade-in, your notes and messages, and the car you asked about.
• Trade-in details: the VIN, year, make, model, trim and mileage of the vehicle you have now, your answers about its condition, whether you still owe money on it and roughly how much, and your notes.
• Contact details: your name, mobile number, email address and ZIP code, how and when you'd like to be contacted, and your preferred language.
• A record of your consent: if you tick the box agreeing to calls, texts and WhatsApp messages, we store the time, the version of the wording you agreed to and the IP address the form was sent from. If you don't tick it, none of these three are stored.
• Chat conversations: what you write to the chat assistant on this site, if you use it. Numbers that look like sensitive information are removed before a conversation is saved.
• Trade-in photos: pictures of your vehicle that you choose to upload. Only JB can see them, and the location data stored inside photo files is removed.
• How you found the site: the campaign tags in the link you arrived on (the “utm_” parameters), the address of the website that sent you (without its query string), the first page you visited and how many visits this browser has made. They are sent only together with a form you send.

We never ask for your Social Security number, date of birth, driver's license number, or bank or card numbers, and we never ask about race, color, religion, national origin, citizenship, sex or gender, marital status or age. The pre-qualification form is not a credit application, and filling it out does not affect your credit score. If you decide to buy, the dealership's finance office takes the official credit application on its own secure system.

• To answer your inquiry and help you find a car and a way to pay for it.
• To decide which inquiries JB follows up on first. Your answers are turned into a follow-up priority. This is not a credit decision, and it is not shared with you or with lenders as one.
• To contact you about your inquiry in the way you asked, and by calls, texts or WhatsApp only as your consent allows.
• To keep the site secure and stop spam. Our server briefly uses your IP address to limit repeated submissions; it is kept with your inquiry only as part of the consent record described above.
• To keep a record of the consent you gave.

The dealership where JB works: your inquiry is shared with it so it can help with your purchase and financing.

Companies that run parts of this site for us (service providers):

• Cloudflare hosts the website, stores its data and photos, runs the security check that keeps out spam bots (Turnstile) and provides the AI service behind the chat assistant.
• Resend delivers the site's emails, such as the alert JB gets about a new inquiry.
• Telegram delivers instant alerts to JB about new inquiries. An alert carries your first name, the initial of your last name and some of your answers, but not your phone number, email address, ZIP code or IP address.
• Push notification services (for example Apple's or Google's) deliver alerts to JB's phone. These alerts carry no phone number or email address.
• Google: JB signs in to the site's admin area with his Google account. Google does not receive your inquiry.

We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't share it with anyone for their own marketing.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

• Unfinished pre-qualification answers are saved in your browser (localStorage) so you can finish later. They stay on your device until you send the form or press “Start over”. Your name, phone number, email address and ZIP code are not brought back more than 24 hours after you last changed them, and the other answers are not brought back after 30 days; expired answers are deleted the next time the form opens. The consent box is never saved.
• The details about how you found the site are kept in your browser for the current visit, and a visit counter is kept until you clear this site's data in your browser.
• We don't use advertising cookies.

These are the site's current settings. If they change, this page will be updated.

• Submissions flagged as spam: deleted after 30 days.
• Inquiries closed as lost: deleted after 12 months.
• Chat conversations that didn't lead to an inquiry: deleted after 30 days.
• Records of the alerts and messages sent about inquiries: deleted after 90 days.
• Trade-in photos uploaded without sending the form: deleted after 24 hours.
• Unfinished pre-qualification answers saved in your browser: your name, phone number, email address and ZIP code for 24 hours after you last changed them, and the other answers for 30 days (see “Information kept in your browser”).
• Other inquiries are kept until you ask for them to be deleted.

Copies the dealership keeps are covered by the dealership's own policies.

• Ask JB to see, correct or delete your information. When he deletes it, your contact details, inquiries, trade-in photos, chat conversations and the alerts about you are removed from this site's systems.
• Stop calls, texts or WhatsApp messages at any time: reply STOP to a text, or tell JB.
• Clear unfinished answers from your browser with “Start over” on the form, or by clearing this site's data in your browser.

To make a request, call, text or email JB:

• Call JB: (703) 220-4055
• Text JB: (703) 220-4055
• Email JB: jibranarshad1@gmail.com

The site uses encrypted connections (HTTPS). Inquiries are seen by JB and by the dealership where he works. The dealership receives your inquiry (see “Who we share it with”) and protects its copies under its own policies. On this site, inquiries are kept in a private admin area where signing in takes two steps (a Google account with 2-Step Verification, or a password plus a one-time code). Inquiry details are kept out of web addresses and server logs.

When this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date. Each inquiry that gives consent stores the version of the consent wording, so it is always clear which wording a person agreed to.
