We use this information to confirm bookings, assign suitable bays, prepare your wash, provide updates, process payments, follow up after the visit, and improve how we communicate.

Polar Shine Auto Wash operates a modern car wash at 635 Confluence Way SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0G1, Canada. We provide express exterior washes, complete cleaning, interior refresh, and premium detail in a friendly and efficient environment. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information when you visit our website, call us, email us, book a wash, join a wait list, pay for a service, leave a review, or otherwise interact with our team. It is written for drivers, fleet contacts, guests, and anyone contacting our Calgary site.
We respect your privacy and collect only what is reasonably needed to deliver a high quality wash, manage bookings, communicate clearly, improve the visit, and meet our legal and accounting obligations in Canada. Polar Shine Auto Wash treats customer trust as part of the service, not an afterthought. Drive in dirty, drive out shining, knowing your details are handled with care.
When you book or enquire, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, preferred date and time, vehicle type, licence plate if you choose to share it, service preferences, and special requests such as fleet billing or accessibility needs. If you visit in person, reception notes and visit history may be recorded so we can remember your usual package and finishing preferences.
Payment records may include invoice references, transaction confirmations, and limited billing details required for accounting. We do not ask for unnecessary identity documents for ordinary washes. If you contact us by phone at +15874416635 or by email at [email protected], message content and call notes may become part of your customer record. Website technical data may include browser type, device category, approximate location derived from IP address, pages viewed, and referral source used to improve site reliability.
We use personal information to confirm bookings, send reminders, assign the right bay, prepare your wash, tailor recommendations, process payments, manage no shows and reschedules, respond to feedback, and maintain service quality. Visit history helps us deliver a consistent shine across visits and reduces the need for you to repeat preferences every time. We may also use aggregated, non identifying insights to understand popular services such as express exterior, complete clean, and interior refresh.
We do not sell personal information to third party marketers. We do not use customer details to build unrelated advertising lists. Studio messages are sent only where appropriate and where you have a reasonable expectation of hearing from us about openings or site updates, and you can ask us to stop promotional messages at any time while still receiving essential booking communication.
We collect and use information where it is reasonably necessary for operating a car wash, performing a requested service, managing the customer relationship, protecting safety on site, and complying with Canadian privacy expectations including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and applicable Alberta privacy rules. Where you voluntarily submit a form or email, we treat that as permission to use the details for the stated wash or booking purpose. If you provide another person's details when booking for someone else, please ensure that person knows their information will be used to arrange the visit.
We may share limited information with trusted providers who support scheduling, payments, accounting, SMS or email reminders, and secure storage. They receive only what is needed for their task. We may also disclose information if required by law, to respond to a lawful request, or to protect people, property, and rights in urgent circumstances. Staff access is limited to people involved in reception, wash operations, management, or administration of your booking.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access. Records may be stored in secure digital systems, booking tools, email platforms, and limited paper notes used in day to day operations. Retention periods vary. Booking and invoice records are commonly kept for accounting, complaint handling, and service continuity. Enquiry records that do not become visits may be kept for a shorter period. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de identify it.
You may request access to personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct details that are inaccurate or out of date. You may also ask us to review deletion where retention is not required for legal, billing, safety, or legitimate business reasons. To make a request, contact Polar Shine Auto Wash at 635 Confluence Way SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0G1, Canada, email [email protected], or phone +15874416635. We may need to verify your identity before releasing or changing records.
Our services are for vehicle cleaning. Where a young person attends with a parent or guardian, we collect only what is needed for the visit. Please tell staff about relevant allergies to fragrances or cleaning products before interior work. Product notes are used only to deliver a safer service and are not shared beyond staff who need them. Polar Shine Auto Wash is a car wash, not a medical clinic, and any health notes never replace advice from a qualified professional.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, systems, or legal requirements. The version published on this page is the current version for new interactions. Continued use of our website or booking channels after an update means the revised policy applies to new enquiries and washes. For questions about privacy at Polar Shine Auto Wash, contact us using the details above before or after your next visit. Clear communication helps us keep your wash experience personal, efficient, and secure.
