Affiliate Disclosure, Disclaimer & Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 31, 2025
Who We Are
ChevyLegacy.com is a “digital garage” created by the Legacy Family (Torque, Redline, Half-Shot, and Axle personas) to share buyer’s guides, restoration resources, history, and future-tech explainers. These sites also function as live, public case studies for project-based learning through the Responsible Innovation Lab (RIL).
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click and purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend tools and resources we’d use in our own garage and clearly mark monetized modules (“Affiliate,” “Top Picks,” or a disclosure line near the links).
Amazon Associates Program
ChevyLegacy.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. Images and product data from Amazon are used via SiteStripe or the Product Advertising API, which keeps us compliant with Amazon’s terms.
What this means for you: if you buy something after clicking our Amazon links, we may receive a small commission. Your price does not change because of our link.
Other Affiliate Partners
We may periodically partner with other retailers or services. Those links will be marked and follow the same principle: transparency first, no added cost to you.
Educational Context (RIL)
ChevyLegacy.com is also a project-based learning environment connected to the Responsible Innovation Lab. Students, mentors, and collaborators may engage with parts of the site (content creation, SEO, analytics, affiliate design, or UX) as part of their learning. Any revenue generated helps demonstrate real-world impact for project-based learning and supports continued development of educational resources.
Content & Image Disclaimer
Our guides blend technical information with narrative voice (the Legacy Family personas). While we work to keep information current and accurate, automotive specs, pricing, availability, and regulations change frequently. Always verify critical details (fitment, torque specs, safety procedures) with the manufacturer, a certified technician, or official documentation before performing work or making a purchase.
Some images are illustrative, AI-assisted, or edited for clarity. Product images shown in “Top Picks” or affiliate sections are typically served from the retailer’s CDN (e.g., Amazon) via their approved tools. Actual items may vary; always confirm part numbers and compatibility by model year, trim, and package.
Privacy Policy
Information We Collect
- Basic usage data: pages viewed, referring/exit pages, approximate location, device/browser type. Used in aggregate to improve the site.
- Cookies & similar technologies: used for analytics, performance, and affiliate attribution (e.g., to know which link generated a sale).
- Voluntary data you provide: form submissions (e.g., contact), comments, or newsletter sign-ups. We use this only for the purpose you intended.
How We Use Information
- To operate and improve ChevyLegacy.com (content quality, performance, navigation).
- To respond to messages you send (support, feedback, partnership inquiries).
- To measure the effectiveness of educational activities tied to RIL, in aggregate.
- To attribute affiliate referrals properly (e.g., Amazon requires cookies for tracking).
Third-Party Services
We may use standard analytics (e.g., WordPress analytics or a privacy-minded alternative) and affiliate networks (e.g., Amazon). These services may set cookies or collect limited data according to their own policies. You can learn more or opt-out of interest-based advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only as necessary to operate the site (e.g., hosting providers), comply with the law, or protect our rights and users. If students or collaborators access anonymized analytics for educational purposes, we do so in aggregate form without personal identifiers.
Your Choices & Rights
- Cookies: You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some features (including affiliate attribution) may not function.
- Access/Deletion: If you’ve provided personal information (e.g., via a form) and want to access, correct, or delete it, contact us at /contact/.
- Emails: You can unsubscribe at any time from optional email lists (if enabled).
Regional laws (e.g., GDPR/CCPA) may grant additional rights. We treat reasonable requests consistently across regions and will honor lawful requests to access or delete personal data we hold directly.
Children’s Privacy
ChevyLegacy.com is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use standard technical and organizational measures appropriate for a site of this type (HTTPS, access controls, and reputable hosting). No internet service can be 100% secure, but we work to protect your information and review our setup periodically.
Data Retention
We keep analytics data in aggregate form and retain personal data you’ve provided only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected or as required by law.
How We Make Money (Short Version)
When you see “Affiliate” or “Top Picks,” assume the links may generate a commission for us if you buy. This helps keep the garage open and funds RIL’s learning projects. We don’t let compensation steer our core recommendations.
