We may also operate additional websites or mobile applications that are governed by their own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures for the collection, use and disclosure of your information and data on these Sites and the services available through them (Services).

Our Sites also contain a link to our Website Terms of Use which govern your use of these Sites and the Services available through them. You understand that by using these Sites or Services you agree to the terms of both this Privacy Policy and the Website Terms of Use.

The Personal Information we collect may include:

  • Information about your vehicle - such as sales and service history, vehicle payments, VIN, and mileage
  • Details about your online activity and other personal preferences when using our Sites and Services
  • Social media details and other information you choose to share on those platforms

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We collect Personal Information in a number of different ways and from a number of different sources, including:
  • Information you choose to provide through our Sites or Services
  • From our affiliates
  • From automotive manufacturers
  • From our subcontractors, vendors and other third party suppliers (our Suppliers)
  • Automatically, from devices you use to connect to or interact with our Sites and Services

As part of our Services, we may communicate with you via email, mail, call, chat or text. In this capacity, we would have the ability and authorization to read or listen and retain the content of those communications, including contact information.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your Personal Information to:
  • Provide our Services
  • Communicate with you and respond to your inquiries
  • Customize information we provide you
  • Promote and market our Services
  • Advertise to you on third party websites (e.g., Google, Bing, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram)
  • Operate our business and analyze our Sites and Services

We may also use your PI by combining it with non-personal information and aggregating it with information collected from others. We use this aggregated data in a number of ways, such as to improve the quality and value of our Sites and Services.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We may share your Personal Information with:
  • Our affiliates
  • Automotive manufacturers
  • Our Suppliers
  • In connection with an acquisition of our company or sale of our assets

Your PI may be shared with third parties, such as vehicle manufacturers, who may use that information to contact you. We also share your information with third parties that provide certain functions or services on our behalf, such as marketing and communications. We do not sell your data.

We have implemented procedures to help ensure that our Suppliers who may have access to PI operate in accordance with both industry standards and applicable law. While we have implemented policies and procedures to protect your Personal Information, we cannot control, and are not responsible for, the manner in which third parties use that information. Accordingly, you should review their privacy policies, as well.

EXTERNAL LINKS: DATA USE BY THIRD PARTIES

Our Sites and Services may contain links to other third-party websites. After you leave our Sites, we have no control over the information collected from or about you on those third-party websites. Our Sites and Services may also include third-party advertising and other programs offered by or in collaboration with third-party businesses (e.g. Google, Bing, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram). These third-parties may collect information from you when you interact directly with them or through their tracking technologies on our Sites. We are not responsible, and assume no liability, for the privacy policies and/or practices of any third-party and use of your information by third-parties is subject to their privacy policies and terms of use. Accordingly, we encourage you to visit their sites and review their policies.

COOKIES,ETC.

We use a number of technologies to automatically collect information, including cookies, tracking pixels and web beacons. “Cookies” are small text files sent from a web server that are stored on your device and enable a site to remember you or your preferences. We may use cookies to recognize you and optimize your experience when visiting our Sites and using our Services. Tracking pixels are small images utilized to track a user, typically for advertising or analytics purposes. Web beacons allow data to be exchanged between systems. Our Sites may also be monitored by third-party software that may capture information about your visit that will help us improve the quality of our Sites and Services. We may use one or more of these technologies on our Sites to transmit information to you or about you and connect information about you from different sources, websites, devices, and mobile applications.

You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Sites or Services. Some browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites and online services that you do not want to be tracked. However, as there is yet no accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we do not currently support DNT signals, other than cookies.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA

We employ data safeguards that comply with applicable law and industry standards to preserve the integrity and security of your Personal Information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of information you provide us with certainty or warrant it will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by unauthorized persons. We will make all legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your PI, in the manner and within the time periods required by applicable law.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your information for as long as it is necessary and relevant for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and as required by applicable law.

OUR POLICY TOWARDS CHILDREN

Our Sites and Services are not targeted to or intended for use by children. We are concerned about the privacy and safety of children when they use the internet. Accordingly, we will not knowingly request PI online from anyone under the age of 13 without prior, verifiable parental consent.

CORPORATE TRANSFERS

In connection with a corporate merger, acquisition, divestiture, asset sale, joint venture, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or any other similar transaction or proceeding, we may sell, divest, transfer, assign, share or otherwise engage in a transaction that involves some or all of our assets, including your Personal Information.
