Our dealership takes your privacy seriously and is committed to
safeguarding your privacy online. Because we do gather certain types of
information from visitors to our sites, we have developed a privacy
statement to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding
the collection and use of that information. This statement discloses
the types of information we gather, how it is used, and how you can
gain access to and edit any data that we've collected about you at any
time.
Guiding Principles:
Our dealership respects the
privacy of individuals who visit our Web sites, send us e-mail, or
participate in features/services we offer online. Accordingly, our
policy regarding online privacy has been developed using the following
guiding principles:
Our dealership maintains a strict "no-spam"
policy. Subscribers to our e-mail services (or any other
feature/service found on our Web site) will not receive unsolicited
e-mail messages from us. Our dealership collects information online
primarily to provide our visitors with a more relevant experience on
our sites. When doing so, we will make every reasonable effort to avoid
excessive or irrelevant collection of data. Our dealership will take
reasonable physical, electronic and managerial measures to safeguard
and secure any information you provide to us (e.g. data will be stored
in protected databases on secured servers with restricted access). Our
dealership will not share any information you've provided to us with
anyone without your consent other than to provide the service you've
requested. At the time you register for any such service, you will be
notified of, and asked to consent to, the sharing of your information
with any particular third party necessary to the provision of the
requested service.
Non-Personally Identifiable Data:
Anytime
you visit our Web site, we may gather certain non-personally
identifiable information regarding the means you use to access our
site. This information may include the type and version of your
browser, your service provider, your IP address and any search engine
you may have used to locate the site. We use this information to help
diagnose problems with our server, administer the Web site, and compile
broad statistical data. In addition, we gather certain navigational
information about where you go on our Web sites. This information
enables us to determine which areas of the Web sites are most
frequently visited and helps us to tailor the sites to the needs and
interests of our online visitors. Such information is gathered by us in
the aggregate and will not be associated with a specific individual
without that individual's consent.
Information Voluntarily Provided:
Any
information you provide to us (i.e. name, e-mail address, etc.) when
you enroll in one of our E-Mail Reminder Services, request information,
or use any of the other interactive portions of our Web sites, is
securely maintained on our Web server and internal systems. This
information may be used to provide you with information you've
requested about our company, our products and our services, or to
provide you with special notices. You may opt out of receiving future
communications at any time (see opt-out Procedures below). This data
may also be used to tailor your experience on our sites by providing
content that is relevant to your interests and geographic region.
Information Collected from Other Sources:
To
help us better understand and respond to your needs and interests, we
may in the future receive information about you from other sources. We
will ask any provider of such information to represent and warrant that
the information has been gathered and maintained in accordance with all
state and federal laws. Any such information will be maintained by us
in accordance with the standards set forth in this privacy policy along
with other personal information you've provided.

Our dealership may partner
with select retailers and other companies at various times to provide
expanded services to our site visitors. As part of such a relationship,
we may share with these companies the use of certain interactive Web
site functions (i.e. the E-Mail Reminder Service). Information provided
by site visitors through the use of such interactive functions may be
available to both our dealership and our partners.
Agents:
Our
dealership may use other companies and individuals to perform certain
functions on our behalf. Examples include administering e-mail services
and running special promotions. Such parties only have access to the
personal information needed to perform these functions and may not use
or store the information for any other purpose. Subscribers or site
visitors will never receive unsolicited e-mail messages from agents
working on our behalf.

In the event
that our dealership sells or transfers a particular portion of its
business assets, consumer information may be one of the business assets
transferred as part of the transaction. If substantially all of the
assets of our dealership are acquired, consumer information may be
transferred as part of the acquisition.

dealership may disclose specific personal information based on a good
faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with or
