Your Privacy
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.
