VIN Decoder Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 17, 2026

VIN Decoder is a Chrome extension published by Zilocar.com and operated by LLN Group, UAB in Lithuania. The extension is provided to decode vehicle identification numbers using the NHTSA vPIC API.

What information the extension uses

The extension uses only the VIN that a user enters into the popup.

How the extension uses that information

The extension uses the entered VIN for two purposes:

1. To request VIN decode data from the NHTSA vPIC API at https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/
2. To open a Zilocar vehicle history report link when the user clicks "See full history report"

If the user clicks the Zilocar link, the VIN is included in the destination URL:

https://zilocar.com/vehicle-history-report/generating?vin={vin}&utm_source=chrome-extension&utm_medium=decoder

What the extension does not do

• It does not require account creation or sign-in
• It does not store VINs in extension storage
• It does not run in the background
• It does not read content from web pages
• It does not collect browsing history
• It does not sell user data

Third-party services

The extension sends the VIN to the following third-party services only when triggered by the user:

• NHTSA vPIC API for VIN decoding
• Zilocar when the user clicks the history-report button

Each service handles requests under its own terms and privacy practices.
