Privacy

Welcome to Pittsburgh Automotives. We believe your privacy matters—especially when you’re here to learn, compare, and make smart car decisions. Whether you’re browsing buying guides, reading reviews, or staying up to date with the latest auto trends, your trust is important to us.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit PittsburghAutomotives.com. It’s simple, clear, and built with real people in mind—just like everything else we do.

By using this site, you agree to the terms outlined below. If you ever have a question or concern, feel free to reach out to us at contact@pittsburghautomotives.com. We're happy to help.

What We Collect

We collect two types of information:

Information you choose to share

When you subscribe to our newsletter, fill out a contact form, or download a resource, we may collect:

  • Your name (if you provide it)
  • Your email address
  • Any message or preferences you share with us

We only collect what you voluntarily give us. That info is used to send you content you’ve asked for—like updates, tips, or guides. Nothing more.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we use basic tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how people use our site. This includes:

  • What pages you visit
  • How long you stay
  • Your browser type and device
  • Your general location (city or region—not your full address)

This data is anonymous. It helps us improve content, speed up performance, and make the site easier to navigate.

How We Use Your Info

  • We don’t sell your data.
  • We don’t trade it.
  • We don’t spam.

We only use your information to:

  • Respond to your messages
  • Send newsletters or content you signed up for
  • Improve site functionality and reader experience
  • Track what articles or tools are most useful

If you subscribe to our emails and change your mind later, no worries—every message includes an unsubscribe link. One click, no guilt trip.

Cookies

Yes, we use cookies—but not the annoying kind.

Cookies are small files that store basic information in your browser. They help us:

  • Remember your preferences
  • Improve site performance
  • See which pages are most popular

We don’t use cookies to track you across other websites, and we don’t collect sensitive data like your passwords or payment details.

You can disable cookies in your browser if you’d like. The site will still work, though some things may not load as smoothly.

Third-Party Services

To keep things running smoothly, we use a few trusted third-party tools:

  • Google Analytics to understand how readers interact with the site
  • Email platforms to deliver newsletters you opted into
  • Hosting and security services to protect the site and your data

These providers only access the info they need to do their job—and nothing more. We do not allow them to use your data for unrelated marketing or resell it to other parties.

We also do not run third-party advertising or use retargeting trackers. No weird car ads following you around after you visit us.

Links to Other Sites

Our content sometimes includes links to external websites—like car manufacturers, official dealer listings, or government vehicle resources.

These sites operate independently from us and have their own privacy policies. We can’t control what they do with your data, so be sure to review their policies before submitting any information.

We include those links to help you, not to track you.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Know what personal data we’ve collected about you
  • Ask us to update or delete your information
  • Unsubscribe from our emails at any time
  • Ask questions about how your info is used

We believe in full transparency. If you’d like to make a request, email contact@pittsburghautomotives.com, and we’ll respond quickly—like real people, not bots.

Data Security

We take your privacy seriously. That’s why we use:

  • SSL encryption to keep browsing secure
  • Secure platforms for data and email storage
  • Site monitoring tools to detect any suspicious activity

While no site can promise 100% immunity to all threats, we work hard to stay current and protected. If there’s ever a data issue that affects you directly, we’ll notify you promptly and clearly.

Children’s Privacy

Pittsburgh Automotives is built for adults who want to learn more about cars, not for children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect or store information from anyone under 13 years old. If we discover that a child has submitted personal data, we will delete it right away.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site evolves or as privacy laws change. If we make major changes, we’ll notify you right here and update the date at the bottom of the page.

Using the site after a change goes live means you agree to the updated policy.

We recommend checking back occasionally if you're a regular reader.
