We use tools such as Google Analytics to track these behaviors anonymously.
Your personal information will never be sold or rented. It is used solely for the purposes stated above and handled with care according to this policy.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like most websites, Mechanic Checks uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us:
- Remember your preferences
- Track how you interact with content
- Analyze traffic and user behavior
- Improve performance and personalization
We may also use third-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, ad networks, affiliate partners) for analytics and interest-based advertising.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that some features of the site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Mechanic Checks is not responsible for the data practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing any personal information.
We may also integrate services such as social sharing tools or affiliate tracking, which may place cookies or collect data. Any commission earned from affiliate links helps support our site—at no extra cost to you.
Data Security and Storage
We use standard security practices—such as HTTPS encryption—to protect your personal data. All user-submitted data is stored securely and is only accessible by authorized personnel. We do not collect or store sensitive financial information or passwords.
Despite our best efforts, no online system can be completely secure. In the rare case of a data breach, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
