Privacy Policy

Short version: Junk Car Worth has no accounts and no sign-up or contact forms. The calculator runs in your browser, with one small exception on the home page, explained below. This policy covers junkcarworth.com and was last updated on September 30, 2026.

What we collect

• Nothing you type into the calculator. The math happens in your browser, and the calculator does not send your entries to us. One caveat about the home page estimate bar is below.
• Email you send us. If you write to hello@junkcarworth.com, we get your message and your email address.
• Standard server data. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, may log basic request data. More on that below.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, phone number or vehicle details for ourselves.

The calculator and the home page estimate bar

The junk car value calculator computes your estimate with code that runs on your device.

The offer form on the home page is different. When you submit it, your year, make, model and ZIP code go directly to Peddle in the referral URL so Peddle can begin an offer. We do not receive those entries in a form submission. The referral URL and the details you entered can appear in your browser history and in Peddle’s request logs.

Cloudflare and server logs

Cloudflare hosts and delivers the site. Its privacy policy says it processes IP addresses and other information about traffic to and from the sites it serves, and it uses that data for security and performance. We also have Cloudflare’s request logging turned on for this site, so a record of each request, including the page address, can be kept in our Cloudflare account, where we can see it. We do not sell or rent personal information.

Cookies and tracking

We do not set advertising cookies.

Partner sites and their tracking networks may set advertising or tracking cookies once you click through. Our links to Peddle, CarBrain (through the Awin network) and the FlexLinks partners (Quote.com, Storage.com and Credit Karma) use tracking so the partner can credit us for a referral. Their cookies and trackers are governed by their own policies. Awin’s privacy policy, for one, describes tracking cookies it sets when you click a link.

Our Peddle and CarBrain links also carry a short placement tag, such as “jcw-en-calculator,” which tells the partner which button on our site you used. It contains no personal information. The FlexLinks links carry only the partner’s own tracking code.

What partners receive

If you use the calculator and then click the Peddle button, we add the year, make, model and ZIP code you typed to the link, so they go to Peddle when you click. That information goes to Peddle, not to us, and Peddle decides what to do with it. The CarBrain button and the other partner links do not carry your vehicle details.

Anything you enter on a partner’s site goes to that partner. Read the Peddle and CarBrain reviews for what each one asks for, and read the partner’s own privacy policy (here is Peddle’s) before you submit. Our affiliate disclosure explains how we are paid.

Email

We use your message and email address to reply and to track corrections. Please do not email title scans, ID photos, or payment or bank details. We cannot use them and do not want them.

Children

The site is written for adults selling a vehicle and is not directed to children under 13.

Your choices

Because we hold almost no personal data, there is usually nothing to look up or delete. If you emailed us and want your message deleted, or want to ask what we hold, write to hello@junkcarworth.com. Residents of some states, California for example, have legal rights to know, correct or delete personal information a business holds, and we will respond as the law requires.

You can block cookies or use a content blocker in your browser at any time. Our pages work either way.

Changes to this policy

If we add analytics, a form, or anything else that changes what this page says, we will update it and change the date at the top.
