How this site handles what you send us, in plain words.

Updated September 30, 2026

The short version

  • We collect only what we need to answer you and to do the work.
  • He never sells your information.
  • You can ask to see it, correct it or delete it. Just email us.

Who we are

This site belongs to Dusty's Diesel & Auto Services, a mobile mechanic business owned by Dustin and based in Scugog, Ontario. When this page says “we”, it means Dusty’s.

For anything about your information, email dustysdieselandautoservices@gmail.com or call 705-977-4086.

What you send, and why

The booking request

Your name, phone number and email, where the work is (the street address and the town or postal code), the vehicle or machine and its VIN if you give it, what’s going on, and the days and times that suit you. For fleets, the company name and fleet size. For boats, the engine type and where the boat is.

We use it to look over your request, confirm a time or suggest another, find you, and do the work.

Calls, texts and emails

What you tell us, and the number or address you reach us from. We use it to reply to you.

Records

We keep a record of requests and visits so we can see what was done before and answer questions about it later.

What's recorded automatically

  • Spam protection. A scrambled (hashed) form of your internet address may be kept to stop repeat or automated submissions. It can’t be turned back into the address.
  • How you found the site. The page you first landed on, the site that sent you, and any campaign or ad click tags in the link (such as a Google click ID) are saved with your request, so we can tell which ads are worth paying for.
  • Cookies. Necessary cookies keep the site working: your booking in progress, spam protection, your cookie choice, and our own login. Analytics and ads measurement cookies are only used as your cookie choices allow. Right now the site uses none.

Who helps run the site

A few outside companies help run this site. They handle your information only to do their part.

Measuring ads

If you agree to ads measurement, your email and phone number may be shared with Google in a scrambled (hashed) form, only to measure whether an ad led to your request. If you don’t agree, this doesn’t happen.

Ad personalization is switched off, so none of this is used to show you ads.

Keeping it safe

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email dustysdieselandautoservices@gmail.com with your name and phone number, and we’ll look after it.

In Ontario, Canada’s federal privacy law for businesses, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), applies to how we handle your information. If you’re not happy with how it has been handled, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
