Worth This Car (worththiscar.com) is a free tool for drivers in Canada. This page explains what we collect and why, in plain language.
What you send us
When you use a tool, you send us what you type or paste (for example a repair quote, a listing, a message or vehicle details) and any photo you upload (for example a quote, a dashboard or a listing screenshot). We use it only to produce your result.
Before you upload a photo, please cover names, phone numbers, addresses and licence plates. You don’t need them for a useful result.
How it is processed
Your text and photos are sent to OpenAI’s API to generate the result, then returned to your browser. We do not keep a copy on our servers and we have no database of your checks. OpenAI processes API requests under its own policies.
Photos are resized and re-encoded in your browser before upload, which removes hidden photo data such as GPS location.
Stored in your browser
To keep the site free and useful without accounts, your browser’s local storage keeps your daily free-use counts, your recent checks, your comparison list and whether you have visited before. This stays on your device. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes it.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are viewed and which tools are run. We don’t send the text you type or your photos to these tools. Google Analytics may set cookies.
You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s opt-out browser add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.
Server logs and abuse protection
Our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps standard request logs, which can include your IP address, for security and reliability. We also use IP addresses briefly, in memory, to limit how many requests can be made per hour.
What we don’t do
No accounts, no selling or renting your information, and no advertising profiles.
Not professional advice
Results are an AI second opinion, not a mechanic’s inspection, legal advice or a certified appraisal. Always confirm safety-related work with a qualified mechanic.
Changes
If this page changes, we’ll update the date at the top.
