A clear record of
what we collect.

Information we collect

Your name, work email, shop or business name, role, whether you requested a demo, your optional product-update preference, and the date and version of your consent. Cloudflare also processes limited technical information needed for security, bot prevention, rate limiting, and service operation.

How we use it

We use this information to manage the Tenth Auto waitlist, respond to demo requests, understand interest from repair shops, prevent abuse, and operate the service. Product updates are optional on our demo form. The Lite offer uses a separate, clearly stated checkbox for the free app and promotional emails. We record the exact disclosure, its version and the time you agreed. Requesting Lite does not remove a previous marketing opt-out. You can unsubscribe from marketing using the link in our emails or by emailing info@tenthautomation.com. Opting out does not cancel a demo request or remove your downloaded copy of Lite. We do not sell this information.

Free Lite requests

For Lite, we collect your email address, the requested Lite resource, consent wording and timestamp. We use these to send the Chrome Web Store link and installation instructions, record your request and notify our operator. Lite requests may have their own tab in the same private Google Sheet. Lite is available through a free, unlisted Chrome Web Store listing. Its installation link can be shared; installing Lite does not grant access to private demos. Lite uses manual entries and does not send estimate contents to this website. Its optional VIN decoder sends the VIN to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration vehicle-information service to retrieve vehicle details.

Using the Lite Chrome extension

Lite stores your current estimate, VIN and vehicle details, job and part entries, quantities, prices and shop pricing settings locally in your Chrome profile. These entries are used to calculate and format your estimate. They are not sent to Tenth Automation, synced through a Tenth account, or used by us for advertising or analytics. Lite does not read your browsing history or other websites.

If you click Decode, Lite sends the entered VIN to NHTSA’s vPIC service over HTTPS and uses its response to fill vehicle details. NHTSA also receives normal connection information, such as your IP address, and handles requests under its own policies. You can enter the vehicle manually instead. No job, part or shop-pricing entries are sent with the decode request. If you click Copy estimate, Lite writes the estimate text to your clipboard so you can paste it where you choose; it does not read existing clipboard contents.

Lite keeps the current estimate and settings between sessions. You can edit entries, use New estimate to clear the current estimate while retaining shop settings, or remove Lite and its local extension data. This storage is not a cloud backup or a separately encrypted Tenth database; protect access to your computer and browser profile. We cannot remotely access or delete this local data, and clearing it or removing Lite can lose it. Any text you copy elsewhere is controlled by you and the receiving application. The 365-day request-record retention period below applies to website signups, not to these local estimate entries.

Opening the Tenth Automation website from Lite is separate from using its estimate editor. The website signup and security practices described in this notice apply if you visit or submit a website form. Lite does not require a Tenth account or a marketing subscription to operate.

Where it is stored

Cloudflare D1 is the primary database. A controlled secondary copy may be stored in a private Google Sheet for follow-up and business operations. Access is limited to the Tenth Auto operator and service providers needed to run these systems.

Retention and deletion

Waitlist and Lite request records are deleted 365 days after the original submission; repeated requests do not extend that period. We retain limited suppression records to honor marketing opt-outs. Security records are kept for up to 90 days. You can request access, correction, or deletion by emailing info@tenthautomation.com. Verified deletion requests will be completed within 30 days and applied to both the primary database and the secondary copy.

Private demos

Private demo links are single-use, expire automatically, and create a short-lived secure browser session. Demo activity uses fictional vehicle, labor, and parts information.
