Please read the following to learn what information we collect from you and how we use that information.
1. Changes to Privacy Policy

Whenever it modifies the Privacy Policy it will post the revised policy in the “Privacy Policy” section accessible on the App. The Privacy Policy will always indicate when it was last revised. A revision to the Privacy Policy is effective immediately when posted on the App. Please review the Privacy Policy periodically to learn of any revisions.

3. What Information We Collect and Store and Why
We collect your email address and phone number. We collect your email address and phone number to send you notices based on your settings in the App, such as notifying you of specials, scheduled maintenance for your car, or to comply with any legal requirements. From time-to-time, we may ask you to allow us to share your email address with third party affiliates; however, your email address will never be shared without your prior permission.
We collect contact information and location. When you order maintenance or repair work for your car through the App, it is necessary that our Service members be able to contact you and travel to the location you select for the work to be performed. For this reason we collect your contact information and your desired work location which, along with your first name, we share with our mechanics when you request work on your car through the App. We do not use your contact information for any other purpose.
We collect information about your car. When you order work through the App you will be asked to provide certain information about the car you want serviced such as its make, model and year. This information is also provided to our mechanics to enable them to properly perform the work you request through the App.
We do not collect financial information. CHNGr does not collect or store your financial information.
CHNGr payment system. The Service available through the App includes a payment system that allows you to pay with a credit or debit card (the “Payment System”). The Payment System uses a third party payment processor, to handle all credit and debit card transactions. If you make use of the Payment System, when you input your credit or debit card number to pay for service on your car the number is encrypted and is only routed (in encrypted form). CHNGr never sees or obtains your credit or debit card number.
Automatically gathered information. When you download or use the App we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services.
4. Security of Information
CHNGr takes security of your information seriously and we take numerous precautions to protect the security of your account information. You can access your account through the App with your username and password. Your password is encrypted. In addition, your account information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel and contractors have access to. We recommend that you not share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we employ commercially reasonable security measures to protect data and seek to partner with companies that do the same, CHNGr cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from your mobile device through the App and it is not responsible for the actions of any third parties that may improperly receive such information.
5. Third Party Sites
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information CHNGr collects from you. Other sites that may be linked through use of the App have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties.
6. Release of Information
CHNGr may release any user information as required by law or in the good faith belief that disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to comply with a subpoena, discovery request, court order or other legal process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
CHNGr may also release any user information in the good faith belief that such disclosure of information is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions for the use of the App or the Service, to defend or respond to any legal actions initiated by third-parties related to your user account or your use of the App or the Service; or to protect the personal safety of staff, users, or the general public.
CHNGr LIMITED WARRANTY
What is covered by this Limited Warranty?
This Limited Warranty is provided by CHNGr Auto , Inc. (“CHNGr ”). Subject to the below conditions, CHNGr warrants that any maintenance and repair services purchased through CHNGr (the “Services”) will be free from defects in materials supplied by CHNGr (for example parts used in the Services) and in the work performed by mechanics provided by CHNGr .
The Limited Warranty does not cover incidental or consequential damages, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law.
Who is covered by this Limited Warranty?
This Limited Warranty extends to the original purchaser of the Services and is not transferable and does not extend to any person who may purchase the car after the Services were performed.
How long will coverage under this Limited Warranty last?
For most Services this Limited Warranty lasts for 6 months or 6,000 miles of use, whichever comes first, as measured from the date and odometer reading at the time the Services were provided (the “Warranty Period”). However, the Warranty Period for oil changes is 90 days or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. If a part provided in the Services has a separate warranty that is longer than the Warranty Period, that longer warranty will apply to that part and this Limited Warranty will apply to the work performed by the mechanic.
What will CHNGr do if our Service is defective during the Warranty Period?
If either the materials provided or the work performed in the Services has a defect within the Warranty Period, we will, at our option either (1) retain a mechanic without charge to you to correct
the defect including, if necessary, replacing any defective part(s) used in the Services, or (2) refund to you the full amount you paid for the Services. (Please note that we will refund only what you actually paid for the Service. Any promotion or discount used to reduce the amount paid for a Service will not be included in a refund provided under this Limited Warranty.)
What is not covered by this Limited Warranty?
This Limited Warranty will not apply:
To any work for which you have paid the mechanic or Service member directly, rather than making your payment through CHNGr ;
To any work not scheduled and processed through CHNGr , including (i) any work performed by a mechanic originally introduced to you through CHNGr to the extent such work was not scheduled and processed through CHNGr , (ii) any work performed by any mechanic or other person not associated with CHNGr , and (iii) any work performed by you;
If the repaired vehicle has been damaged by abnormal use, misuse, neglect, accident or alteration;
To any work performed on a vehicle used commercially; and To any issues unrelated to the Services you purchased (for example, you purchase an oil change and your car leaks oil due to faulty engine seals or gaskets. The Limited Warranty would not apply to the engine oil leak.)
This Limited Warranty is entirely void if any parts not ordered through CHNGr are installed at your request by the mechanic.
How do you file a claim under this Limited Warranty?
To obtain service under this Limited Warranty email us at CHNGr.startup.com within the Warranty Period. We will send a mechanic to inspect the problem. The following steps must be followed for the limited warranty:
A CHNGr Mechanic needs to inspect the vehicle with a warranty request to verify the issue(s) are covered.
CHNGr needs to verify the mileage from the initial visit and the current mileage.
CHNGr needs to verify the last date we worked on the initial repair.
If the customer had a different mechanic or shop fix or diagnose the issue we need to see any and all invoices, pictures, and other materials involved.
The vehicle needs to be within our service area to provide a pre-warranty check and to perform warranty work.
All other possible warranty scenarios not mentioned above should be reviewed with customer support.
If the mechanic determines that there is a defect in materials or workmanship of the Services and we elect to perform remedial service work and/or replace defective part(s) installed (instead of providing a refund), we will create a new appointment to perform such work and/or replace such part(s) at no cost to you.
