Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 28, 2026

Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how Youngblood Automotive & Tire, LLC ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit youngbloodtx.com or otherwise interact with us.

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at info@youngbloodtx.com or by mail at 171 Park Central, Hutto, TX 78634.

Information we collect

We collect information in three ways: information you give us directly, information we collect automatically when you use our site, and information from third parties.

Information you give us directly includes anything you submit through forms on our site — for example, your name, email address, phone number, vehicle information, and any message you write when you contact us or request a service. If you apply for a job through our site, we also collect the details you submit in your application.

Information we collect automatically includes your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit on our site, the time you spend on each page, and the site you came from. We collect this through cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy for details.

Information from third parties may include analytics data from services like Google Analytics, advertising data from platforms like Meta, and information from social media if you interact with us there. When you use our tire ordering tool (powered by TireConnect, a Bridgestone service), that platform operates under its own privacy policy and terms.

How we use your information

• Respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request
• Process service requests, appointments, and tire quotes
• Send you administrative messages (appointment confirmations, policy changes)
• Improve our website and understand how visitors use it
• Send marketing communications, but only if you've opted in (and you can unsubscribe at any time)
• Evaluate job applications
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not sell your personal information.

Who we share your information with

We share information only with parties that help us run our business and only as much as they need to do their job. This typically includes:

• Service and scheduling tools that help manage appointments
• Email service providers to send transactional and marketing email
• Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to understand site usage
• Hosting providers that store our site data (Webflow)
• Tire ordering platforms (TireConnect / Bridgestone) when you initiate a tire quote or purchase
• Professional advisors (lawyers, accountants) when needed
• Government authorities if required by law

We require these parties to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes we specify.

Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

How long we keep your information

We keep your information only as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it, or as long as the law requires. Transaction and service records are kept for the period required by tax and consumer protection law (typically 7 years in the US). Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe. Job application data is retained for up to 2 years unless you are hired.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access the information we have about you
• Correct information that's inaccurate
• Delete your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time
• Object to certain processing activities

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@youngbloodtx.com. We'll respond within 30 days.

For visitors in the European Union (GDPR)

If you're in the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you additional rights:

• Lawful basis. We process your information based on (a) your consent, (b) the necessity of processing to provide a service you requested, (c) our legitimate interests, or (d) compliance with a legal obligation.
• Data portability. You can request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. A list is available at edpb.europa.eu.
• International transfers. Your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. When we do this, we use safeguards required by GDPR.

We respond to verified GDPR requests within 30 days.

For California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California gives residents specific rights:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose
• Delete personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information)
• Non-discrimination for exercising your rights

To exercise these rights, email info@youngbloodtx.com. We'll verify your request and respond within 45 days.

Children's privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us at info@youngbloodtx.com and we will delete it.

Security

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and access controls on our systems. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to keep your data safe.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top and, if the changes are significant, notify you by email or with a prominent notice on the site.
