Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 28, 2025

Introduction

Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading these things. But hey, we're serious about keeping your info safe, so we're gonna be straight with you about what we do with your data.

At Glaivor Nexus, we've been working on European performance and luxury vehicles for years, and we treat your personal information with the same care we give your BMW or Porsche. This policy explains what info we gather when you use our services or visit our shop, and what we actually do with it.

Information We Collect

When you book an appointment or drop off your ride, we'll need the basics - your name, phone number, email address, and where you're located. Pretty standard stuff, really. We can't exactly call you when your Audi's ready without a phone number, right?

We'll keep records of your vehicle's make, model, year, VIN number, mileage, and service history. This isn't us being nosy - it's actually super important for tracking maintenance intervals and making sure we're using the right parts and procedures for your specific vehicle. Every BMW M5 isn't the same, you know?

We collect payment card details and billing addresses when you pay for services. Don't worry though - we use secure payment processors and don't store your full card numbers on our systems. That stuff gets encrypted and handled by the pros.

When you're browsing our site, we collect some technical stuff - IP address, browser type, pages you visit, how long you stick around. Nothing creepy, just helps us understand what's working and what's not. Like, if everyone's bouncing off our services page, maybe we need to rewrite it, yeah?

How We Use Your Information

Alright, so here's what we actually do with your data:

Service Delivery

Schedule appointments, perform diagnostics, order parts, complete repairs, and keep you in the loop about your vehicle's status. Can't fix your car without knowing what's wrong with it, right?

Communication

Send you appointment reminders, service updates, and let you know when it's time for that oil change or brake fluid flush. We won't spam you - only important stuff about your vehicle.

Improvement

Analyze how folks use our website and services so we can make things better. If something's confusing or broken, we wanna know about it and fix it.

Legal Compliance

Keep records for warranty claims, meet regulatory requirements, and protect both of us if there's ever a dispute. Just covering our bases, honestly.

Who We Share Data With

We're not in the business of selling your info to random companies. But there are a few situations where we need to share certain details:

  • Parts Suppliers & Manufacturers

    When we're ordering parts for your specific vehicle, we share VIN and vehicle info with OEM suppliers. Gotta make sure we get the right parts, especially for those finicky European models.

  • Payment Processors

    Your payment info goes through secure third-party processors. They handle the financial stuff so we can focus on what we do best - fixing cars.

  • Service Partners

    Sometimes we use specialized shops for certain work - like a transmission rebuild or custom tuning. We'll only share what's needed to get the job done right.

  • Legal Requirements

    If the law says we gotta hand over info - like for a court order or regulatory investigation - we'll comply. We don't have a choice there.

What we DON'T do: We don't sell your data to marketing companies, we don't share your email with third parties for their promotions, and we definitely don't post your info publicly anywhere.

Data Security

We take security seriously - probably more seriously than we should admit for a small auto shop. But hey, we're dealing with people's personal info and expensive vehicles, so it matters.

Encrypted Storage

All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. Military-grade stuff.

Limited Access

Only authorized staff can access customer data, and only when they need it.

Regular Backups

We backup everything regularly so your service history's never lost.

That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. We do our best, but if there's ever a breach, we'll let you know ASAP and tell you what happened and what we're doing about it.

Cookies & Tracking

Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind - though we've got some of those in the waiting room sometimes. These are the digital ones that help our website work better.

Cookie Type What It Does Can You Disable It?
Essential Makes the site actually work - login sessions, shopping cart for parts, that kind of thing Nope - needed for basic functionality
Analytics Tells us which pages people visit, how long they stay, what they're interested in Yes - through browser settings
Preferences Remembers your choices like language settings or if you've seen our cookie notice Yes - but you'll have to reset choices each visit

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Just remember that blocking certain cookies might make parts of the site not work as smoothly.

Your Rights

Since we're in Canada, you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal data. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

You can ask us what info we've got on you. We'll send you a copy, usually within a couple weeks.

Correct Mistakes

If something's wrong - like an old phone number or incorrect vehicle info - just let us know and we'll fix it.

Delete Your Data

Want us to erase your info? We can do that, unless we're legally required to keep it (like for warranty or tax purposes).

Opt-Out of Marketing

Don't want service reminders or promotional emails? No problem - just click unsubscribe or tell us directly.

Data Portability

You can get your data in a format that's easy to move to another shop. We won't be offended, promise.

Lodge a Complaint

If you think we're not handling your data right, you can complain to Canada's Privacy Commissioner.

Questions About Privacy?

Look, if you've got questions or concerns about how we handle your data, just reach out. We're not lawyers - we're mechanics - so we'll explain things in plain English.
