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, we share information:  

A) 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) 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.
