6600 Dealership Website Hack? - SpinCar At It Again? Clarivoy "hack the dom"

Great conversation! I particularly find it interesting when @Tognetti says, "As a dealer, why should I give up my lead form data to 3rd parties like Clarivoy?" Are dealers aware of this? Probably not... if I were a dealer, I'd be seeking legal advice.

I agree with Tognetti, how is he being "defamatory?" Laughable... I knew cease and desists were gonna' fly. I should have noted it, before the conversation went any further. "What are they going to do when privacy measures go global (US)," asked @Alex Snyder. These companies are going to be D-E-A-D or they are going to get the shit sued out of them. It's coming and something @Jon Berna mentioned earlier in his explanation of the death of attribution and why he avoided the overall mechanism in the first place.

Filthy!

Ohhhh... just a reference, know that SpinCar has been busted for this previously and that was also discovered by Jeffrey Tognetti of Dealer X notoriety.

A dealer raised concerns that SpinCar's product secretly collects and sells dealership website visitor data to third parties like Criteo and Clarivoy without dealer knowledge, potentially compromising paid search investments. SpinCar's CTO and Clarivoy's representative disputed the claims, arguing the original post demonstrated a misunderstanding of JavaScript functionality and that data sharing only occurs when dealers explicitly opt-in, though technical evidence presented by other forum members suggested tracking code was indeed active. The thread remained unresolved, with the original poster noting SpinCar's script was subsequently removed, implying the allegations had merit despite company denials.
