Privacy Statement
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)Â For everyday business purposes, such as to process transactions,
maintain account(s), respond to court orders and legal investigations, or
report to credit bureaus.
B)Â 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)Â 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)Â 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.
