# About

Wenmar Open is a free VIN decoder and vehicle catalog for auto repair shops. There is no account, no key and nothing to install.

## Who runs it

Wenmar Open is built and hosted by Wenmar Pro, shop management software for independent auto repair shops.

## What it keeps

There are no cookies, no accounts and no analytics scripts. The service's own log records the first 11 characters of a decoded VIN, which name the maker, model and plant, and not the serial number. The hosting proxy in front of the service keeps a request log of its own, with the address of each request and where it came from. The address of a decode, as a page or through the API, holds the whole VIN.
