Vehicle Value Lookup

Privacy Policy — Taziky Vehicle Evaluator

Last updated: September 4, 2026

Overview

Taziky Vehicle Evaluator is a Chrome browser extension that reads vehicle data from CarMax Auction listing pages and sends it to taziky.com to retrieve valuation estimates. Since version 4.0 the extension requires a taziky.com account. This policy explains what data is accessed, what is sent to taziky.com, what is stored, and what is never collected.

Account and Sign-in

Evaluations require signing in with your taziky.com account from the extension's toolbar popup. During sign-in the extension sends your email address, password, and the SMS one-time code you enter to taziky.com over HTTPS, and receives access tokens in return. The tokens are stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local) so you stay signed in; they are attached to every valuation request and are removed when you click Sign out. The extension never stores your password. If you do not have an account, the popup links to the registration page on taziky.com.

Data Accessed

When you run an evaluation, the extension reads the following fields directly from the CarMax Auction page you have open:

  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
  • Mileage
  • Defect announcements listed on the vehicle card

This data is read solely from the page rendered in your browser. The extension does not access your CarMax account credentials, personal profile, payment information, or any other data on CarMax pages.

Data Transmitted

For each evaluation the extension sends to taziky.com over HTTPS: the VIN, mileage, and defect text, your sign-in token, the optional repair labor rate you typed into the panel, and the extension version. No other service or third party receives this data.

The extension communicates only with:

  • https://www.carmaxauctions.com — to read vehicle listings and write valuation results into notes fields
  • https://taziky.com — to sign in and to request vehicle valuations

Data Stored in Your Browser

The extension uses the chrome.storage API to keep: your sign-in tokens, your panel settings (the AI recon option and labor rate), and which VINs have already been processed in the current session. This data stays in your browser and is not shared with anyone; tokens are cleared on Sign out.

Data Kept by taziky.com

taziky.com keeps a record of each evaluation it performs — the time, a one-way hash of the VIN (the VIN itself is not stored in that record), which client made the request (extension, website, or partner), the valuation path, and the estimated value — to operate the service and show aggregate usage counts. taziky.com also reports each evaluation to Google Analytics as an aggregate event containing the hashed VIN, vehicle make, model, and year, and value band, never the raw VIN, your email, or any other personal data. Your account data (email, phone number) is handled under taziky.com's privacy policy.

Data We Do Not Collect

The extension does not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Your CarMax account details or anything else from CarMax pages beyond the vehicle fields listed above
  • Browsing history or activity outside of carmaxauctions.com
  • Your password (it is sent to taziky.com once during sign-in and never stored by the extension)

We do not sell or share data with third parties for advertising, and data is used only to provide vehicle valuations.

Third-Party Services

Valuation requests and account management are handled by taziky.com. Please refer to taziky.com's privacy policy for information on how that service handles data it receives.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
