Affiliate Disclosure and Non-Affiliation

ClearVinCheck operates as an affiliate partner of Bumper.com (for USA users) and EpicVIN (for non-USA users). Our platform provides a user-friendly interface to search for vehicle history reports, redirecting you to Bumper.com or EpicVIN for report generation, payments, subscriptions, and delivery. While we may collect search query data (e.g., VIN or license plate numbers), all transactions and report-related activities are managed directly by these partners. ClearVinCheck is an independent, privately operated service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any federal, state, or local government agency. We source VIN and license plate data from publicly available records and licensed third-party providers for lawful purposes, such as vehicle verification, ownership history, and accident reporting, in compliance with the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) and other applicable regulations. Unauthorized use of our services, including for stalking, harassment, or any illegal activities, is strictly prohibited.
