Global Privacy Control, also known as GPC, is a browser-based preference signal that may communicate a request to opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information or certain targeted advertising.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a valid opt-out preference signal, GarageNest will process the signal for the browser or device from which it is received.

Other browser “Do Not Track” settings may not be treated as a legally recognized opt-out signal unless applicable law requires otherwise.

GarageNest does not use the word “sale” only to mean an exchange of information for money.

Under certain privacy laws, disclosure of identifiers, browsing activity, device information, or advertising information to third-party advertising or analytics providers may be legally considered a sale or sharing of personal information even when no monetary payment is received.

  • Returns and refunds

  • Account security

  • Customer support

  • Legal or policy notices

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

GarageNest does not control the privacy or security practices of independent third parties.

Before providing personal information to a third party, you should review its:

  • Retaliation against you

This does not prevent lawful differences reasonably related to the value of personal information or participation in a properly disclosed voluntary program where permitted by law.
