- Booking details — vehicle information, selected services, appointment date/time, gift or promo selections, and notes you share.

4. SMS / Text Message Program
By checking the SMS opt-in box during booking or otherwise providing us your mobile number and consent, you agree to receive transactional and service text messages from BlueSky Auto Care at the number provided, including messages sent by automated systems.

6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

- Our detailing technicians who need your address, vehicle, and service details to complete the appointment.
- Legal authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
7. Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember booking progress, and standard analytics cookies to understand traffic and improve the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
8. Data Retention
We retain booking and payment records for as long as needed to provide service, resolve disputes, and comply with tax and accounting obligations (typically up to 7 years). Marketing preferences and account data are retained until you request deletion.
9. Security
We use industry-standard safeguards including TLS encryption in transit, access controls, and row-level database security. No system is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

You may:
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct or update inaccurate information
