DATA SENT TO THIRD PARTIES - VIN decoding: When you decode a VIN, it is sent to the U.S. NHTSA public vPIC API (vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov), a free government service. - AI features (optional, off by default): If you enter your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key in Settings, decoded vehicle metadata (year, make, model, engine — not the VIN) is sent from your browser directly to that provider using your key. The developer has no access.
