Curblow ("we," "us") operates a car-deal search tool that aggregates publicly available vehicle listings from multiple third-party sites. This page explains what we collect, why, and how it's used.

What we collect

• Search queries. The make, model, year range, price range, and location you search for. We use this to run your search and, in aggregate, to decide which searches are common enough to keep pre-refreshed for speed and cost reasons.
• Email address, if you sign up for alerts. Used only to send you the listing-match emails you asked for.
• Basic technical data. IP address and request metadata, used for rate-limiting abuse and keeping the service running reliably. We don't sell or share this.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your data to third parties.
• We don't require an account or collect personal identifying information beyond what's listed above.
• We don't use your search history to target ads outside of Curblow.

Where listing data comes from

Curblow aggregates publicly listed vehicle data from sources that may include Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, OfferUp, and eBay Motors (via eBay's official Browse API). We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any of these platforms. Listing accuracy is the responsibility of the original poster and source site — always verify details directly with the seller before making a purchase decision.

Third-party services we use

• Resend — delivers alert emails you sign up for.
• Apify — infrastructure we use to retrieve publicly available listing data.
• Anthropic — used internally to help classify listings (e.g. flagging likely-inactive or bait-priced listings). No personal data is sent to this service.

Data retention

Listing data is refreshed periodically and stale listings are marked inactive rather than deleted immediately. Your email address (if provided for alerts) is kept until you ask us to remove it — contact us to opt out at any time.

Your choices

You can use the core search feature without providing any personal information. If you signed up for alerts and want your email removed, contact us and we'll delete it.
