What we hold, and why.

Last updated July 30, 2026.

What we store

Your email address and a hashed password. The IP address you registered from, used to keep the free credits to one set per person. The VINs you have checked, and the vehicle data Tesla returned for them.

What we don't store

Card details. Payments run through Stripe and your card never reaches our server.

Vehicle data

VIN results are cached and shared across accounts, so a VIN someone else has already checked does not get fetched again. Nothing links a VIN to the person who ran it outside your own account view.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account yourself at any time: on this website from your account page, or in the iOS app under Settings. You can also email support@sc01check.com if you would rather we did it for you. It is immediate and cannot be undone.

What goes: your sign-in and password, your email address, your saved vehicles, watches and notes, any listings you posted, and your access to history reports you had unlocked. Any unspent credits are forfeited and are not refunded, so spend them first if you have any.

What we keep, and why. Three things outlive a deleted account, because we are required to or because deleting them would let the same trick be played twice:

• Receipts and payment records, which we have to retain for tax and to answer card disputes. They are no longer linked to your name or email address.
• A note that your email address has already received its one-time welcome credits, so a new account on the same address does not receive them again. You are welcome to sign up again; you just will not get a second free allowance.
• Your email unsubscribe choice, so deleting and returning does not start the emails again.

Anonymised VIN data may remain in the shared cache. It is not linked to you.
