Important Privacy Information
Introduction
As a valued customer, we want to ensure your private information is kept private
and only shared with those companies who are authorized either by yourself or as
allowed or required by law. This document explains our privacy policy, gives
you reasons why we ask for the type of information we do, and if we do reserve a
right to share information with non-affiliated third parties, lets you "opt-out"
of our reservation to do so. Please take a moment to read this entire policy.
Collection of Information
The purchase of a motor vehicle requires considerable accumulation of nonpublic
personal information. For example, if we sell or lease you a vehicle - extending
you credit at your request - we will receive information from you in order to
determine your creditworthiness. We may also obtain information from a
credit-reporting agency. We may also obtain information from third parties such
as employers, references and insurance companies.
Some of the information we obtain from you may be required by state of federal
agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Internal Revenue Service.
This information may be required even if you were to pay cash for your vehicle.
Examples would be a driver's license or social security number.
Protecting Your Information
We safeguard nonpublic personal information according to established industry
standards and procedures. We maintain physical and electronic safeguards that
comply with state and federal law. We restrict access to nonpublic personal
information about you to those employees and outside contractors who need to know
the information to provide product or service to you. We prohibit our employees
and agents from giving information about you to anyone in a manner that would violate
any applicable law or our privacy policy.
Information Sharing
Unless we have indicated our desire to share your nonpublic personal information
with non-affiliated third parties (by checking the box in the section below), we
share information:
A) As permitted by federal or state law.
B) For purposes of processing a sale or lease transaction as your request or
authorize, such as submitting information to third party financial institutions
that may be requested to take an assignment of the contract or verifying insurance
coverage information.
C) When using outside service providers to help us provide you with products and
services. Before providing information to our service providers we enter into
contractual agreements prohibiting them from disclosing or using the information
other than for the purpose it was disclosed.
D) With "Affiliated" companies. Companies that are affiliated with us include any
company that controls us, any company we control, or any company under common
control with us.
