Privacy policy

Blue Ox Auto Sales is a small used car lot. We collect the least we can get away with, we don't sell it, and we don't run ad retargeting.

What we collect from forms

When you send a contact message, a vehicle inquiry, a test drive request, a trade-in appraisal request, or a "tell us what you're looking for" note, we store what you typed: your name, phone number, email address, your message, and which page you sent it from. Trade-in requests also store the vehicle details you entered and any photos you upload.

We use that only to answer you and to keep a record of the conversation. We never ask for a social security number, income, or credit information, because we don't finance vehicles.

Forms include a hidden anti-spam field and a rate limit, which briefly records a hashed form of your network address so one person can't flood the inbox.

Analytics

Analytics is not currently enabled on this site. If we turn it on, it will be Google Analytics 4 for page-view counts only, and this page will say so.

Cookies

The public pages of this site don't set marketing or advertising cookies. Cookies and browser storage are used for two things: keeping the dealership's own staff logged into the admin area, and, if analytics is enabled, the Google Analytics measurement cookie.

Embedded Google Maps on the contact page is served by Google and follows Google's own privacy practices.

Who else sees your information

Our website host and database provider store the data on our behalf. If we send you an email reply, our email provider handles that message. We don't sell, rent, or trade your information, and we don't share it with lenders — we have no lender relationships.

How long we keep it

Leads stay in our inbox so we can follow up and so we have a record of a sale. Sale records are kept as long as Minnesota dealer recordkeeping rules require. Ask us to delete an inquiry and we'll delete it, unless it's tied to a completed sale we're required to keep.

Ask us anything about your data

Call or email us and we'll tell you exactly what we have, correct it, or delete it. Reach us at the number on the contact page, or in person at Lakeville, MN.
