This Privacy Policy explains how Whistle Motors ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, create a Whistle Insider account, or interact with our content. We keep this simple on purpose: we collect very little, we do not sell your personal data, and your payment card details are handled directly by Stripe and are never stored on our servers.

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run the site and the Whistle Insider membership:

• Account information. If you create a Whistle Insider account, we collect your email address and a password. Accounts are managed through Supabase, our authentication and database provider. Passwords are stored in hashed form; we do not store your plain-text password.
• Payment information. All payments are processed by Stripe. Your card number, expiration date, and security code go directly to Stripe and are not stored on our servers. We receive only confirmation of payment status and limited billing metadata (such as the last four digits of your card and your order or subscription status).
• Merch orders. If you buy merchandise on this site, we receive your name, email address, phone number, shipping address, and the items you ordered, so we can ship and support your order. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never reach our servers.
• Mailing list. If you join the Whistle List, we collect your first name and email address to send you news about cars, merch drops, and builds. You can ask us to remove you at any time.
• Contact and inquiry submissions. If you contact us through the site, including vehicle inquiries, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and message. These submissions may be stored in our site database so we can respond and keep a record of the inquiry.
• Local storage. The site uses your browser's localStorage for functional purposes, such as remembering your theme preference, powering interactive features like the build configurator, and keeping you signed in between visits. This storage is used to make the site work, not to track you for advertising.
• Server and usage logs. Like virtually every website, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps.

How We Use Information

• To create and manage your Whistle Insider account and deliver member content.
• To process subscription billing and merch payments through Stripe.
• To ship merch orders and handle questions about them.
• To send Whistle List updates to people who signed up for them.
• To respond to inquiries you send us, including vehicle inquiries.
• To operate, secure, and improve the site, and to prevent fraud and abuse.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share personal information only in these limited circumstances:

• With the service providers described below, who process it on our behalf.
• With professional advisers such as accountants, lawyers, or insurers, where reasonably necessary.
• To comply with law, respond to lawful requests, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Whistle Motors, our users, or others.
• To enforce our Service Terms, investigate fraud, or resolve payment disputes.
• As part of a business transaction, such as a sale, merger, or reorganization of Whistle Motors, in which case your information may be transferred to the successor, and this policy (or one at least as protective) will continue to apply.

Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of third-party providers to run the site. Each operates under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review:

• Supabase. Hosts our account database and authentication.
• Stripe. Processes all payments made on this site, including memberships and merch orders, and performs its own fraud screening.
• YouTube / Google. Our video content is embedded from YouTube. When you view a page with an embedded video, Google may collect data (including cookies and viewing information) under its own privacy policy, even if you do not press play. We do not control that collection.
• Meta (Facebook and Instagram). When our Meta Pixel is on, Meta may set cookies and receive page-view data to measure our ads and build audiences, under Meta's own privacy policy. You can adjust this in your Meta ad settings.
• Shopify. Some merchandise may also be sold through our separate Shopify-powered store. Purchases made there are governed by that store's own terms and Shopify's privacy practices.
• Social platforms. Links to our Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube profiles take you to those platforms, which operate under their own policies. If you message us on a social platform, that platform processes the message under its own policy.

Cookies and Local Storage

We do not run our own advertising or cross-site tracking cookies; the Meta Pixel described above is the only ad measurement tool we may use. The site uses browser localStorage for functional purposes such as saving your preferences, configurator selections, and sign-in state. Embedded third-party content (such as YouTube videos) may set its own cookies as described above, which we do not control. You can clear localStorage and cookies at any time through your browser settings; doing so may reset some site features or sign you out.

Data Retention

We keep account information for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your membership or ask us to delete your account, we will delete or de-identify your information within a reasonable period, except where we need to retain records for legal, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution, or fraud-prevention purposes. Residual copies may persist in routine backups for a limited time before being overwritten. Stripe retains payment records according to its own policies and applicable financial regulations.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us through the site's official contact channels. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. Depending on where you live, including California and other U.S. states with consumer privacy laws, you may have additional rights, and we will honor those rights as required by the law that applies to you.

Children

This site is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and no one under 13 may use the site under any circumstances. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including hashed passwords and payment processing handled by Stripe. That said, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account password confidential and for any activity that occurs under your account.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.

Last updated: July 12, 2026

These Service Terms ("Terms") govern your use of the Whistle Motors website, content, market data, build configurator, and the Whistle Insider membership (together, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services.

What We Offer

Whistle Motors is an enthusiast automotive brand. Through this site we showcase curated vehicles, publish market commentary and data built from publicly available auction sale results, offer an interactive build configurator, share video content, link to our merchandise store, and operate the Whistle Insider membership. Everything on this site is published for informational and entertainment purposes.

Vehicle Listings Are Not Offers

Vehicles shown on this site are presented as a showcase and an invitation to inquire. They are not binding offers to sell, and nothing on this site creates a purchase contract.

• Any actual vehicle sale takes place only under a separate written agreement signed by both parties, on terms stated in that agreement.
• Unless expressly stated otherwise in a signed written agreement, all vehicles are sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS, with all faults and with no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
• Statements about mileage, condition, history, prior accidents, title status, originality, and specifications are provided in good faith but are not warranted. History and title information may come from third-party records that we do not control and cannot verify.
• You are solely responsible for inspecting any vehicle and independently verifying its mileage, condition, history, title status, specifications, and suitability before purchase. We encourage a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified independent mechanic.
• Showcased vehicles may be modified from factory specification, and modified vehicles may not be street legal or emissions compliant in every jurisdiction. Confirming legality where you live and drive is your responsibility.
• The buyer is responsible for all taxes, registration, titling fees, and transport unless a signed written agreement says otherwise.
• Photos, descriptions, specifications, pricing, and availability may contain errors or change without notice, and all vehicles are subject to prior sale.

Market Data and Valuations Are Estimates Only

Our market data pages are compiled from publicly available auction sale results and other third-party sources we do not control, together with our own analysis. All figures, charts, trends, and valuations on this site are informational estimates only. They are not appraisals, not offers to buy or sell, and not financial, investment, or purchase advice. Markets move, data sources contain errors, and past sale results do not predict future prices. We make no guarantee of the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any figure on this site, and you agree not to rely on our data as the basis for any purchase, sale, or financial decision.

Build Configurator

The build configurator, including any estimated cost or resale-value-impact figures it displays, is an interactive tool provided for entertainment and general guidance only. Its outputs are rough estimates, not appraisals, quotes, or promises of value. Actual costs, outcomes, and market effects of any modification vary widely and are outside our control.

No Personalized Advice

Nothing on this site constitutes personalized financial, investment, legal, tax, or mechanical advice. Before buying, selling, or modifying a vehicle, consult qualified professionals, including a licensed mechanic, an attorney, or a financial advisor as appropriate.

Assumption of Risk

Automotive activities, including driving, riding in, repairing, maintaining, and modifying vehicles, are inherently dangerous and can result in serious injury, death, and property damage. Our videos and content may depict driving and mechanical work performed by experienced people, sometimes on closed courses or under controlled conditions. Our content is entertainment and general information, not instruction, and you should not attempt any repair, modification, or driving maneuver based on our content.

• You assume all risk arising from your own automotive decisions and activities, including any activity you undertake after viewing our content or using our tools.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Whistle Motors and its owner, affiliates, and personnel from any claim for personal injury, death, or property damage arising out of your use of, or reliance on, the Services or any content on this site.
• Always follow the law, use appropriate safety equipment, and have work performed by qualified professionals.

Modifications, Emissions, and Street Legality

Vehicle modifications may void or affect manufacturer warranties and insurance coverage, and may violate federal, state, or local law, including emissions regulations administered by the EPA, CARB, and state authorities. Some parts shown or linked on this site are sold for racing or off-road use only and are not legal for street use in some or all jurisdictions. Content on this site may depict builds or modifications that are not street legal where you live. It is solely your responsibility to confirm that any part, tune, or modification complies with the laws and regulations that apply to you before purchasing or installing it. We make no representation that any build, part, or modification shown on this site is legal for street use anywhere.

Affiliate and Partner Links

Some links on this site, including but not limited to links to FCP Euro, Turner Motorsport, ECS Tuning, and CarBahn, are affiliate or partner links. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase through them, at no additional cost to you.

• Third-party sites operate under their own terms, policies, and prices, which we do not control. Any purchase you make from a third party is between you and that third party.
• We are not responsible for third-party products, their quality, availability, installation, fitment, or performance on your vehicle, and we make no warranty on any third party's behalf.
• Independent shops and service providers mentioned on this site are separate businesses. We are not responsible for their work, and mentioning them is not a guarantee or warranty of their services.

Third-Party Content and Platforms

• Video content on this site is embedded from YouTube and is subject to YouTube's and Google's terms of service and privacy policies. We do not guarantee that any embedded video will remain available.
• Links to third-party websites, platforms, or content are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. We are not responsible for third-party content, accuracy, or practices.
• If you interact with us or with other users on social platforms, those interactions are governed by the platform's own terms and are at your own risk.

Whistle Insider Membership

• Whistle Insider is a paid membership billed at $20 per month as a recurring charge, processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method each billing cycle until you cancel. Prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which may be added where required.
• You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then. We do not issue partial or prorated refunds for unused time.
• If a payment fails or is not made, we may suspend or revoke access to member content until the account is brought current.
• Billing disputes and chargebacks. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us first through the site's official contact channels and we will work with you in good faith to resolve it. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute, we may suspend your access while it is pending. If a chargeback is determined to be unwarranted, we may terminate your membership without refund, decline future subscriptions, and, to the extent permitted by law, recover amounts owed and costs we incur in connection with the chargeback.
• We may refuse, suspend, or cancel any subscription at our reasonable discretion, in which case we will refund any prepaid fees for the unused portion of the then-current billing period.
• Member content is licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not copy, share, record, redistribute, resell, publicly post, or otherwise make member content available to non-members. We may terminate membership without refund for violations of this section.
• We may change membership pricing or benefits with reasonable advance notice; changes apply from your next billing cycle.

Merchandise

Merchandise may be sold directly on this site or through our separate Shopify-powered store. Purchases made through the Shopify store are governed by that store's own terms, shipping, and return policies, in addition to Shopify's applicable terms. For purchases made on this site:

• Prices are in U.S. dollars. Shipping and any applicable sales tax are shown at checkout before you pay. Payment is processed by Stripe.
• We currently ship to U.S. addresses only. Delivery times are estimates, and risk of loss passes to you on delivery to the carrier.
• Items marked "All sales final" cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded. For any other item, contact us and we will work with you under the return terms shown on the product page.
• Product photos are representative. Colors and fit can vary slightly from what you see on screen.
• We may refuse or cancel an order, and refund any payment for it, including when an item is out of stock, a price was listed in error, or we suspect fraud.

Intellectual Property

All content on this site, including text, photography, video and film footage, graphics, data compilations, market analysis, the Whistle Motors name, logo, and trade dress, and the site's design and code, is the property of Whistle Motors or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. The Whistle Motors name and logo are trademarks of Whistle Motors, whether or not registered, and may not be used without our prior written permission.

• You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, scrape, frame, or create derivative works from any part of the Services without our prior written permission. Limited personal, non-commercial viewing is permitted; nothing else is.
• You may not re-upload, re-edit, monetize, or redistribute our video footage or photography on any platform, except as expressly permitted by law or by us in writing.
• No license or other right in our intellectual property is granted by implication or otherwise, except the limited viewing right described above.
• If you believe content on this site infringes your rights, notify us through the site's official contact channels and we will review promptly.

Submissions and Interactions

• If you send us ideas, feedback, suggestions, photos, videos, comments, or other material (through the contact form, email, or social platforms), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and display that material in connection with Whistle Motors, with attribution optional, and you confirm you have the right to grant that license. Nothing you send us is confidential, and we owe no compensation for using it.
• We have no obligation to monitor, publish, or retain any submission, and we may remove any material at our discretion.
• Any interaction you have with other users, buyers, sellers, or third parties, whether initiated through this site or on social platforms, is solely between you and them. We do not vet or verify users and are not responsible for their conduct, representations, or transactions.

User Conduct

When using the Services, you agree not to:

• Violate any law or the rights of others.
• Share, resell, or redistribute member content or your account credentials.
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data or content from the site, whether manually or by automated means.
• Interfere with, probe, or disrupt the site, its security, or its infrastructure.
• Impersonate Whistle Motors or misrepresent your affiliation with us.
• Submit material that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or deceptive.

We may suspend or terminate access for any violation of these Terms.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT, DATA, ESTIMATES, AND TOOLS ON THIS SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY DATA, VALUATION, OR ESTIMATE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT. YOU USE THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WHISTLE MOTORS AND ITS OWNER, AFFILIATES, AND PERSONNEL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR VEHICLE VALUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, ANY CONTENT OR DATA ON THE SITE, ANY VEHICLE INQUIRY OR TRANSACTION, ANY MODIFICATION OR AUTOMOTIVE ACTIVITY YOU UNDERTAKE, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT, SHOP, OR SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE MEMBERSHIP FEES YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Whistle Motors and its owner, affiliates, and personnel from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, any vehicle purchase, modification, or automotive activity you undertake, any chargeback or payment dispute determined to be unwarranted, or any content or information you submit through the Services.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, including any membership, at any time if you violate these Terms, fail to pay, or if we discontinue any part of the Services. You may stop using the Services and cancel your membership at any time. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, submissions licenses, disclaimers, assumption of risk, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Westchester County, New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Dispute Resolution; Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

• Before filing any claim, you agree to first send us a written description of the dispute through the site's official contact channels and give us thirty (30) days to work with you in good faith to resolve it informally.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim may be brought only in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and no proceeding may be combined with another person's without the written consent of all parties.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Whistle Motors each waive the right to a trial by jury in any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.
• To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the claim accrues, or it is permanently barred.
• If any part of this section is found unenforceable, that part will be severed and the remainder of this section and these Terms will remain in effect.

Force Majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, flood, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental action, epidemics, power or internet outages, or failures of third-party services such as hosting, payment processing, or video platforms.

Assignment

We may assign or transfer these Terms and our rights and obligations under them, in whole or in part, including in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganization of Whistle Motors, without notice to you. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your membership without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without consent is void.

Entire Agreement; No Waiver

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Whistle Motors regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject. For clarity, any signed written vehicle purchase agreement governs that transaction. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later, and no waiver is effective unless made by us in writing. Section headings are for convenience only.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes to membership terms will be communicated with reasonable notice. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
