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

standards set forth in this privacy policy along with other personal
information you've provided.

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.

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.
Business Transfers:
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.
Compliance with Law/Safety:

on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply
