About This Policy and Our Business
Towing Asheville is a locally owned and operated towing and roadside assistance company based in Asheville, North Carolina. Our physical address is 1 Bennington Ct, Asheville, NC 28803-7604. We operate under North Carolina law and provide services throughout Buncombe County and surrounding areas.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website at towingasheville.com and through direct contact with our business by phone. It does not apply to third-party websites we may link to, which have their own privacy policies we do not control.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
When you call us to request towing or roadside assistance, we collect the information needed to dispatch a truck and complete the service. This typically includes your name, phone number, vehicle location, vehicle make and model, and a description of the problem. When you submit a contact form on our website (if applicable), we collect the information you enter in that form.
Information collected automatically through the website
Like most websites, our site collects certain information automatically when you visit. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you viewed, the time and date of your visit, and the referring website that sent you here. This information is collected primarily through standard web analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and is used to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. This data does not identify you personally in any way we can access or use.
Cookies and tracking technologies
Our website may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — and similar technologies. These are used for basic site functionality, analytics, and potentially for advertising purposes through third-party platforms such as Google Ads. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from calling us or receiving service.
How We Use the Information We Collect
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To dispatch towing and roadside assistance services to you
- To communicate with you about your service request, including estimated arrival times and pricing
- To follow up on completed service calls if necessary
- To improve and maintain our website
- To understand how visitors find and use our website
- To comply with applicable laws and regulations
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to providing towing and roadside assistance services and operating this website.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share your information with advertisers or marketing companies. In limited circumstances, we may share information with:
- Service providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate our business and website, such as web hosting providers and analytics services. These vendors are bound by confidentiality obligations and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes.
- Law enforcement or legal process: When required by law, court order, or other legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, comply with a legal obligation, or protect the safety of our customers or the public.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business assets, customer information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We would notify affected individuals before any such transfer takes effect.
Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Ads, and potentially social media platforms. These services have their own privacy policies and data practices that we do not control. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data to help us understand site traffic. You can opt out of Google Analytics data collection by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If you click on any ads associated with our website, those ad platforms may use cookies or tracking pixels to measure ad performance. This is standard advertising practice and does not give those platforms access to personal information you've shared with us directly.
Data Retention
We retain personal information collected during service calls for as long as is reasonably necessary for business and legal purposes — typically the period required by North Carolina record-keeping obligations for service businesses. Website analytics data is typically retained according to the default settings of the analytics platform being used (Google Analytics data is retained for a period we configure in the platform settings).
If you would like your personal information deleted and doing so does not conflict with our legal obligations, you may request deletion by contacting us at the information below.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you. North Carolina residents should be aware that NC data privacy law continues to evolve; we will update this policy as applicable laws change.

Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information transmitted to us online.

Privacy Policy — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Towing Asheville sell my phone number or personal information?
No. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third party for marketing or commercial purposes. The information you give us when you call — your name, phone number, location, and vehicle details — is used only to dispatch your service and communicate with you about your request.
What information does Towing Asheville keep after a service call?
We retain basic service records — the details of the call, service provided, location, and billing information — for the period required by North Carolina business record-keeping standards and our own operational needs. We do not maintain detailed profiles on individual customers beyond what's needed for legitimate business purposes.
Does this website use cookies or track my location?
Our website uses standard cookies for analytics purposes (Google Analytics) and may use cookies related to any advertising we run. These cookies do not collect your name, phone number, or personally identifying information — they collect anonymized usage data about how visitors interact with the site. We do not actively track your physical location through the website; location information is only collected when you voluntarily provide it during a service call.
Can I request that my information be deleted?
Yes. If you would like to request deletion of personal information we hold about you, and doing so does not conflict with our legal obligations (such as record-keeping requirements), please contact us by phone at 828-920-1126 or by mail at 1 Bennington Ct, Asheville, NC 28803-7604. We will respond to your request within a reasonable time.
Is this website secure? Is it safe to submit a contact form?
Our website uses HTTPS encryption for data transmitted between your browser and our server. We take reasonable technical precautions to protect data submitted through the site. That said, no internet transmission is completely risk-free. For sensitive situations or urgent needs, calling us directly at 828-920-1126 is always the most reliable option.
Does North Carolina have a specific data privacy law that applies here?
North Carolina has passed privacy-related legislation that continues to evolve. As a small local business, we handle very limited personal data and do not engage in data processing practices that typically trigger major compliance thresholds. We monitor applicable NC and federal law and update this policy accordingly. If you have specific concerns about your rights under applicable law, please contact us directly.
Terms of Service
Our Terms of Service cover the conditions under which we provide towing and roadside assistance services, payment terms, liability limitations, and how disputes are handled under North Carolina law.
