Your Vehicle Transaction Data — Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 1, 2026
MiamiJunkCars treats your privacy as a core part of your transaction. When you submit a vehicle quote request, contact our team, or browse https://247junkcarsmiami.com, we collect your personal data only to provide you with a cash offer — typically $200 to $15,000 based on your vehicle's weight and current Miami scrap prices — and to schedule your vehicle pickup in Miami-Dade County. This privacy policy explains exactly what data we collect, how we use your information, who receives it, how long we retain it, and what rights you have under Florida and federal law. We designed these data practices to be transparent, limited to what is strictly necessary for completing your transaction, and fully protective of your privacy.
What Information You Provide
The data collected depends entirely on how you choose to interact with our site and our team. When you fill out the vehicle quote form, you provide your name, phone number, email address, the year, make, and model of your vehicle, your ZIP code in Miami-Dade County, and a description of the vehicle's condition. Our team needs this information to prepare your accurate cash offer. When you contact us directly, we record your name and contact details to follow up with your offer. When you visit our website without submitting a form, our server automatically logs your IP address, browser type, and pages viewed — this technical data is used only for website security and performance monitoring, never for advertising or profiling.
When you browse without submitting a form, our server logs your IP address, browser type, and pages viewed — we use that technical data only for website security and performance monitoring, never for advertising or profiling. We do not collect payment card numbers, Social Security numbers, or any financial account credentials. Vehicle sale payments happen in cash at pickup — typically $200 to $15,000 depending on vehicle condition — meaning no payment processing runs through our website or servers.
How Your Information Is Used
Your information serves one primary purpose: getting you a fair cash offer for your vehicle and completing the pickup transaction. When you submit your vehicle details, we use your data to calculate a cash offer based on current scrap metal prices at Miami-Dade recyclers, your vehicle's weight and model, and its stated condition. If you accept the offer, we use your contact information to coordinate your pickup time and dispatch a driver to your location. You may receive a brief follow-up after the transaction to confirm your satisfaction — you can opt out of any follow-up communication at any time by emailing us directly.
We never use your data for targeted advertising, behavioral profiling, or any purpose unrelated to your vehicle transaction with us. We never sell your email, phone number, or address to marketers or share it with data brokers. Over 85% of customers complete their transaction in a single day — we collect only what is strictly needed to make that happen.
Your Information — Who Has Access?
MiamiJunkCars does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. The only entities that receive limited data from us are the contracted towing partners who physically pick up your vehicle — they receive only your pickup address and the confirmed appointment time, and we prohibit them from using your data for any other purpose. Law enforcement agencies may also receive information when a valid court order, subpoena, or authorized law enforcement request requires us to disclose it.
Florida Statute Chapter 501, the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, governs your data handling. If you have questions about exactly who receives your information and why, email us at [email protected] for a clear explanation of your data practices.
Florida Vehicle Transaction Data and Miami-Dade Compliance
Vehicle sales in Florida require certain data disclosures and record-keeping under state law. According to the Florida DHSMV's official guide to motor vehicle titles and licensing requirements, licensed salvage dealers must retain transaction records for a minimum of three years. When you sell a vehicle to us, we collect and retain the vehicle identification number (VIN), title or registration number, odometer reading (for vehicles under 10 model years old), the transaction date and agreed purchase price ($200–$15,000 based on vehicle weight and current scrap prices), and a copy of your government-issued photo ID. We retain this information for three years as required by Florida Statute 319.30 for licensed salvage dealers operating in Miami-Dade County.
We file the Notice of Sale (HSMV 82050) with the Florida DHSMV within 24 hours of every completed vehicle transaction. This filing protects you from post-sale liability — parking tickets, toll violations, and incidents that occur after the sale date are not attributed to you once the Notice of Sale is on record. You do not need to file this document yourself; we handle it on your behalf as part of every transaction.
How Your Data Is Protected
Your vehicle quote submissions travel over encrypted HTTPS connections. We store customer records in a password-protected database accessible only to authorized MiamiJunkCars staff. We keep physical paperwork — signed title transfer forms and ID copies retained as required by Florida statute — in a locked facility at our Allapattah office. We do not store your personal data on cloud services accessible to third parties without explicit authorization.
No data transmission system is entirely secure, and no provider can guarantee absolute protection against sophisticated attacks. If a data breach affects your personal information, Florida law requires us to notify you within 30 days of discovery. Our team maintains internal protocols to detect, respond to, and report any security incidents that could affect your data.
Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website uses a minimal number of cookies: primarily a session cookie required for the quote form to function across page loads, and a basic analytics cookie that counts unique page visits without identifying you personally. We do not use third-party tracking pixels, Facebook cookies, Google advertising cookies, or any cross-site behavioral tracking technology. You can disable all cookies in your browser settings without affecting your ability to submit a quote form or contact our team.
What Are Your Privacy Rights as a Miami-Dade Resident?
As a Florida resident, you have the right to request a complete copy of the personal information we hold about you, request that inaccurate information be corrected, request deletion of your data (subject to the legal retention requirements for Florida vehicle sale records, which require us to keep certain transaction data for three years), and opt out of any marketing communications from us at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below. We respond to all privacy requests within 15 business days, at no cost to you.
- Your access right: you can request a complete copy of your data at any time.
- Your correction right: you can ask us to fix any inaccurate information we hold about you.

Children's Privacy
Vehicle sales in Florida require the seller to be at least 18 years of age and the legal owner of the vehicle. Our services are therefore directed exclusively to adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years old. If you believe a minor's information was submitted to us in error, contact us immediately and we will delete it within 5 business days.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy when our data practices change or when Florida law requires additional disclosures. We post material changes on this page with an updated revision date at the top. If the changes significantly affect how your data is processed, we will attempt to notify you directly using the contact information you provided. Your continued use of our site after a policy change means you accept the revised terms.
