Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

The short version: this website does not collect VIN numbers, does not process payments, and does not ask you to create an account. Here is the longer version, in plain English.

1. Who we are

Vehicle History Guide is an independent affiliate website that publishes educational content for used-car buyers in the United States. We are not owned by, operated by, or endorsed by VINCheckUp or any other vehicle history report provider.

2. Information we do not collect

This website is deliberately built to collect as little as possible. We do not:

  • ask for, store, or process Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs);
  • process payments or collect credit card or banking details;
  • require accounts, passwords, or email sign-ups;
  • run a contact form that stores your messages.

3. Information collected automatically

Like almost every website, our hosting infrastructure automatically processes standard technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and approximate region. This data is used to keep the site secure and running, and is not used to identify you personally.

4. Affiliate links and cookies

Our pages contain affiliate links to a vehicle history report provider, routed through the ClickBank affiliate network. When you click one of these links, the network and the provider may set cookies or use similar technologies to attribute the referral and process any purchase you choose to make.

Once you leave this website, the privacy policies of ClickBank and the report provider apply. We encourage you to read them before entering a VIN or payment details on their websites.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Because we collect so little, there is essentially nothing to share. Technical logs are processed by our hosting provider solely to operate the website.

6. Your choices

You can browse this site with cookies blocked — the guides work exactly the same. Because we deliberately collect so little, there is essentially no personal information tied to you to request or delete.

7. Children’s privacy

This website is intended for adults researching vehicle purchases. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

8. Changes to this policy

If we change how this site handles data, we will update this page and revise the “last updated” date above. Material changes will be noted clearly at the top of the policy.

9. Contact

Questions about this policy? For anything tied to a purchase — charges, refunds, billing, or access to a report you already paid for — contact the report provider or ClickBank directly using the customer support link on your ClickBank order receipt. Please never include VIN numbers or payment details in any message.
