PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated November 14, 2026This Privacy Notice for Garazh LLC ("
we," "
us," or "
our"), describes how
and why we might access, collect, store, use, and/or share ("
process")
your personal information when you use our services ("
Services"),
including when you:
Visit our website at https://autos-usa.com or any website of ours that
links to this Privacy Notice
Download and use our mobile application (AutOS), or any other
application of ours that links to this Privacy Notice
Use AutOS. AUTOS is a web-based vehicle-analysis and decision-
support service designed primarily for professional buyers,
importers, brokers, and rebuilders evaluating used or damaged
vehicles offered through auctions or other sources they are permitted
to use. In this Policy, "Service" means the AUTOS website and any
related web application, account features, analysis workflow,
customer support, and reports provided through them. Depending on
the version of AUTOS and the features enabled for your account,
you may provide a permitted lot reference or source URL, vehicle
photographs, vehicle details, notes, and your own assumptions.
AUTOS may use these materials to organize vehicle and lot
information; assess whether submitted images are suitable for
analysis; prepare reports with preliminary observations linked to the
supplied images; distinguish visible observations from possible risks
and matters that cannot be determined from the available materials;
and suggest questions or checks for further verification. Where
relevant data is available, AUTOS may also present illustrative repair
or purchase-cost scenarios based on identified sources and
assumptions entered by you. Available features may include saving
and reviewing lot records and reports, editing scenario assumptions,
and downloading reports. Depending on the feature and its
availability, analysis may involve automated tools, including third-
party image-analysis or AI services, and may receive limited human
review or support. Features and outputs may vary based on the
information you provide, the source, your location, and the modules
enabled for your account. Only features made available through the
Service are active; references to pilot, experimental, or future
features do not mean that those features are currently offered.
AUTOS provides decision support. It is not an auction operator or
vehicle seller, does not perform physical inspections or repairs, and
does not place or automate bids or purchase a vehicle on your
behalf. An AUTOS report is based on the materials available for the
requested analysis. It is not a physical inspection or a guarantee of a
vehicle’s condition, hidden damage, title status, repair cost, market
value, or profitability. You remain responsible for independently
verifying information and making inspection, bidding, and purchase
decisions.
Engage with us in other related ways, including any marketing or
events
