It’s your car, your content, your copyright
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m always pretty reluctant to sign up to new websites.
Partly it’s because too many websites make it a hassle to do so. Fill in this screen, then this one. Oh and we forgot to tell you your password can’t be less than five characters. And so on (hopefully Autopendium should take not more than 30 seconds).
But mainly it’s because I’m wary about adding stuff into the black holes that many websites behave like (and that includes most of the big ones). Sure, they want you to add this, and that, many making it easy to do so.
But try getting the stuff you’ve added back out again (even assuming they’ve let you keep the copyright) and you’ll get a big fat NO.
So, I made the decision right at the beginning that if you add information about your cars or yourself, it belongs to you. And that means if you want it back, you can have it back. At any time. No questions asked.
What about if you want to leave the site? Again, no problem. And if you want to remove your details, your vehicles and your photos from the site too, we can sort that out as well.
I hope that you’ll find Autopendium a help in keeping records of your old cars, and increase your enjoyment of owning one. But I know there are alternatives out there, and I wouldn’t want you to worry that in a year or two’s time you might want to keep track of your cars in a different way, or on a different site, only to find out that you couldn’t transfer what you’d already done.
