Service privacy

Privacy notice

How Aussie Wreckers Search handles analytics, search preferences, vehicle alert email addresses, submitted search terms and server logs.

Browser storage

The search interface stores your selected state, theme and up to three recent searches in your browser's local storage. This supports convenience features on your device. You can remove the data by clearing site storage in your browser.

Search terms

Submitted keyword searches may be counted to improve search suggestions. Avoid entering personal information into the search box. Search filters and result URLs can also appear in standard server logs.

Google Analytics

On public pages, Google Analytics helps us understand visits and how the service is used. It may process page URLs, interactions, device and browser details, approximate location and cookie or similar identifiers. We configure analytics to redact email-like values and the q search query parameter. Confirmation, management and unsubscribe pages are excluded so their private link credentials are not sent to Google. See the Google privacy policy for more information.

Saved-search email alerts

When you request a vehicle alert, we store your email address and the saved search criteria so we can send confirmation and matching-vehicle email. Alerts require email confirmation and can be paused or stopped through the private management and unsubscribe links included in each message.

Resend processes alert email delivery. Cloudflare Turnstile processes technical information needed to reduce automated abuse of the alert form. Confirmation, management and unsubscribe credentials are stored as cryptographic hashes rather than readable tokens.

Expired unconfirmed searches are removed automatically. Unsubscribed searches and their delivery records are removed after the configured retention period, which is 90 days by default. Addresses associated with a bounce or spam complaint are retained in suppressed form so further email is not sent.

Operational logs

The hosting platform and application may retain routine request, error, security and performance logs. These can include an IP address, browser information, requested URL and timestamp. Retention depends on the production hosting configuration.
