Analytics Information: We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the website. These tools collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including the web pages you visit, your browser add-ons, your browser's width and height, and other information that assists us in improving the Website. The third-party analytics services may aggregate the data they collect with data they collect from other websites to enhance their offering of analytical services, but will not use any information they collect for any directed marketing purposes.

Cookies Information: When you visit the Website, we may (or we may authorize a trusted third party partner to) send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets us help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the website. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Website (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on the Website), and allow us or our business partners to track your usage of the Website over time.

Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by the Company. A device identifier may convey information to us about how you browse and use the Website. The device identifier information that we collect does not itself collect or transmit any Personally Identifiable Information to us, however, a device identifier may be used in conjunction with other information in a manner that may constitute Personally Identifiable Information. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device, to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Website.

The location data that we collect does not itself contain or transmit any Personally Identifiable Information to us, however, location data may be used in conjunction with other information in a manner that may constitute Personally Identifiable Information.

How Is Your Information Shared or Disclosed?

Personally Identifiable Information: We share you information with our trusted third party service providers who assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, servicing you, and marketing to you so long as those parties agree not to (1) sell personal information, (2) retain, use or disclose personal information for a need other than to perform business services, and (3) retain, use or disclose personal information outside of the direct business relationship. The CCPA defines a "sale" as disclosing or making available to a third-party personal information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for direct monetary compensation, we do disclose or make available personal information to motor vehicle manufacturers and others for marketing purposes and may receive services or benefits from them, including identifiers; customer records; commercial information; internet or other electronic network usage data; and profiles and inferences.

We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or property (3) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Website or the public.  We may at any time buy or sell/divest the company, or any combination of its products, services, assets and/or businesses. Personally Identifiable Information such as customer names and email addresses, and other user information related to the Website will likely be one of the items transferred in these types of transactions. We may also transfer or assign such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, dissolutions or similar transactions or proceedings.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: We may share Non-Personally Identifiable Information, including information obtained through tools such as cookies, log files, device identifiers, location data and clear gifs (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) and sales and service information, such as types of vehicles sold, locations of purchasers, and whether a sale is a loyalty or conquest sale, with our third-party business partners for the purpose of analyzing and understanding our sales, marketing, and communication effectiveness. We may also aggregate or otherwise strip data of all personally identifying characteristics and may share that aggregated, anonymous data with our third party business partners.

Online Advertising: We may also share Non-Personally Identifiable Information with our business partners to deliver online advertisements ("ads") for our products/services that may be of interest to you. These advertisements may appear on our own Website and on other websites.  We do not sell, rent, or share your Personally Identifiable Information with these business partners for such parties' own marketing purposes.
