Consent and Notification of Revisions
By accessing or using our Sites and/or Services, you consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service, please do not access or use the Site(s) or Services. We may periodically modify or update our Privacy Policy with or without notice to you by posting the most updated version on this page. Please see the “Revision Date” at the top of this document to see when the Privacy Policy was last changed. We will update the “Revision Date” in the privacy policy to notify you of any substantive changes to the way we collect and use information. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to obtain the most up-to-date information on how we are handling your personal information. If you do not agree to changes to this Privacy Policy, you must stop using the Sites after the last revision date of such changes.
Collection of Anonymous Information
We collect anonymous user information, such as data collected from tools like Google Analytics, which includes anonymous and aggregate details (such as pages visited and time spent on our Site) from all visitors to our Sites. This type of anonymous information is not directly associated with any of your personal details unless you voluntarily provide that information to us. This information helps us create statistical reports about the usage of our Sites.
However, if you accept the use of cookies and similar technologies through our site's cookie banner or other available mechanisms that control the use of online data shared with third parties, the above disclosure about anonymous information may not apply. In such cases, your data could be combined or linked in ways that might identify you.
How We Respond To Do-Not-Track Signals & Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms
A “do-not-track” signal is a privacy preference feature in some web browsers that tells a website that a user does not want their online activity to be tracked. We currently support Do Not Tack (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC), specifications designed to allow internet users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, such as whether or not they want to be tracked or have their personal information sold or shared with third parties for targeted advertising. These specifications consist of a setting or extension in the user’s browser or mobile device and act as mechanisms that our websites can use to honor your privacy settings. You can learn more about DNT by clicking here. GPC is available for an increasing number of browsers and browser extensions, click here to view the options. If you want to use GPC, you can download and enable it via a participating browser or browser extension. More information about downloading GPC can be found by clicking here. If your browser or device has enabled DNT or GPC, it will override your preferences selected in the cookie banner or privacy settings on this Site. When our site detects the DNT or GPC, we will automatically opt you out of the online sale and sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising (e.g., retargeting ads).
Third-party Links
This Privacy Policy applies only to our Sites and Services, and information collected for us or by us through various features and online offerings on our Sites. Our Sites contain links to other third-party sites, and our Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party site or service linked to our Sites or recommended or referred by our Sites or by our staff. We are not responsible for the website, privacy practices or content of any third-party. If you have any questions about how these other sites use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.
Security
We implement reasonable security measures to ensure the security of your personal information. However, no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure by nature. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you understand that any information that you transfer to us is done at your own risk. We may attempt to notify you electronically of any security system breach so that you can take appropriate steps. By using the Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services. We may post a notice via our website if a security breach occurs or send an email to you at the email address you provided. You may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing depending on where you live.
While we use encryption to protect online information, we also make all reasonable efforts to secure and protect your information offline. All of our customers’ information is restricted in our offices and only employees who need the information to perform a specific job function are granted access to this information. The services that store your personal information are housed in a secure environment.
Business Transfers and Related Activities
We may share or transfer your information in the course of any direct or indirect reorganization process such as, but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, bankruptcies, and sales of all or a part of our assets. Your information may be shared as a result of such transaction and/or during the assessment process pending transfer. In the event your information is transferred due to one of these events, know that your information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy or a privacy policy that protects your privacy to an equal degree as this Privacy Policy.

In addition to the information you may enter into the chat box or live chat feature, the categories of personal information include, but are not limited to, name, phone number, email, mailing address, and other identifiers you may provide.

Use of Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies and other similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, pixels, or local storage) to deliver content specific to your interests, track your website activity, help our Sites remember you, enhance your online experience with us, and provide you with information you’re most likely to need. Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers between visits. Cookies and any technology that serves a similar purpose as a cookie in the context of tracking, identifying, or building consumer profiles are included in our use of the term “cookie” for the purpose of this Privacy Policy. We, our service providers, or third-party advertising companies may use “first-party cookies” or “third-party cookies” as described below.
First-Party Cookies.
Many first-party cookies are necessary to facilitate essential website functions and enable you to navigate our Sites and use its features, such as remembering a consumer’s shopping cart or chat session across pages or multiple visits. Also, first-party cookies are used to improve the functionality of the Site (such as tracking errors) and may be used to improve the ability to market or advertise to our consumers strictly on our own Sites, such as building consumer interest profiles to improve the recommended products consumers see on our own Sites. By default, our Sites do not support an inherent mechanism to allow users to opt-out of these first-party cookies.
Third-Party Cookies.
Third-party cookies refer to any cookie that shares or enables the sharing of information to an entity other than our own Sites. For example, some cookies used with third-party analytics providers will use a first-party domain but still share the collected information with the third-party provider. Our users can opt-out of certain third-party cookies by making the appropriate selection on our cookie banner that appears upon first visiting our Sites, using a browser or plug-in that supports Do Not Track (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC), by submitting an opt-out request (see our Privacy Policy for more info), or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. We allow users to opt-out of the following types of third-party cookies:
Cookies used to track consumers in order to serve ads to the consumer on other websites (e.g. retargeting ads that might appear on a search engine or social media that redirect you to our Sites).
Cookies used to build consumer profiles to improve the overall ability to advertise to an individual or group of consumers across multiple Sites.
Cookies used to track individual consumers to improve the ads they are served from a variety of advertisers (which may include the Dealership).
For some third-party cookies, our Sites do not offer an inherent mechanism for user to opt-out. This includes the following types of third-party cookies:
Cookies used by our service providers or third-party advertising companies to perform an essential function solely on our own Sites. For example, they may use a cookie to remember a consumer's chat session across pages or visits so that the customer service representative responding to the chat is aware of the previous questions asked by the specific consumer.
Cookies used by our service providers to perform analytics solely for our own Sites.
Some web browsers offer settings that allow you to choose whether cookies are set by the websites that you visit. These controls vary by browser, but may allow you to disable all cookies, disable cookies for individual websites, or notify you whenever a cookie is set. Please note that if you disable cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some features or areas of the Site may be limited. Our Sites may use products, such as Google Analytics, to measure how you interact with our Sites and to improve your user experience. For more information on Google Analytics, its privacy practices, and opt-out mechanisms, please visit the Google Analytics Security and Privacy Principles page at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en. For Google’s privacy policy and instructions on opting-out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The Network Advertising Initiative also offers a means to opt-out of a number of advertising cookies. To learn more, please visit www.networkadvertising.org. Note that opting-out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It means that the company or companies from which you opted-out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your preferences and usage patterns.
Note that this site's cookie banner and privacy settings will only opt you out of the future tracking and sharing by cookies that are deployed by our Sites. In order to manage the information sharing and advertising cookies not deployed by our Sites (e.g., other third-party companies' cookies that are already tracking you), you may want to consider using one of the consumer choice tools created under self-regulation programs, such as the US-based https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN choices page.
