Privacy at EstimateShield™
Updated October 8, 2026
What you give us
For an estimate review, you provide an email address, vehicle details, ZIP code, a description of the concern, and uploaded estimates or photos. A VIN is optional. Repair shops applying to advertise provide business and contact details, service area, credentials, and related links.
How we use it
We use your estimate information to create and email your report, manage review credits and payments, and provide service support. EstimateShield™ logs a copy of each completed report and the customer email address for service records and support. If you use a free beta review, we send one feedback email about 24 hours after your report is emailed. Your answers and optional comment are stored and shared with the EstimateShield™ team to improve the service; they do not sign you up for marketing. We use shop application details to research eligibility, contact applicants, prepare approved ads, and manage sponsored listings.
Services involved
OpenAI processes submitted repair information to produce the review and research public sources. Stripe handles checkout and payment details. Resend delivers report and shop emails. If advertising measurement is enabled, Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Meta may measure site visits, clicks to start a review, openings of the estimate picker, whether a file was attached (count only), form and checkout steps, and completed purchases. We send event names and limited technical details such as file count, validation field, checkout status, purchase amount, currency, and a report transaction ID. We do not send your email, VIN, file name, estimate contents, or report to these advertising measurement services. A report may show sponsored shops selected by ZIP code; those shops do not receive your email, VIN, uploaded estimate, or report from us.
On your device
If you start checkout after filling the form, your browser temporarily saves the form and attachments so they can be restored when you return. The draft is cleared after a completed report; saved drafts older than 24 hours are discarded when you revisit. Your most recent completed report may also be saved in this browser so you can reopen it.
Your questions and requests
For questions about your information, a report copy, or a deletion request, email info@estimateshield.com. Some payment and service records may need to be kept for accounting, dispute handling, or other obligations. We do not use the report email address to enroll you in marketing messages.
