Privacy Policy

Cars Direct and its affiliated companies ("Cars Direct") are committed to respecting your online privacy.

This statement describes Cars Direct's policy and practices with respect to information collected via our website. By visiting our website, you consent to the terms of this policy. We encourage you to read it carefully.

As used in the privacy policy, personal information means personally identifiable information you provide to us via our website. Personal information includes information which may be used to identify an individual, such as a name, physical address, phone number, or e-mail address, whether at home or at work.

Collection of Personal Information
In general, you can visit our website without telling us who you are or giving us any personal information.

There are times, however, when you may wish to provide us with personal information. For example, Cars Direct collects information you may choose to provide us when you visit portions of our site. This may occur, for example, where you request information from us, ask us a question, provide us with feedback, or request access to a requested portion of our website.

You may choose not to provide us with your personal information. If you choose not to do so, you can still visit most of our website, but you may not be able to access or receive certain information, options, or other information.

If you give us personal information about a third party such as a co-worker or colleague, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.

Use of Personal Information
We will use the personal information you provide us for the purpose it was given to us, for example to provide information which you have requested or to provide you with access to restricted portions of our website.

We will also use the personal information you provide us to provide you with information and offers via e-mail. You may at any time opt-out of receiving these e-mails by following the opt-out instructions contained in our e-mails to you or by contacting us via one of the feedback mechanisms contained on our website.

We may also use the information you provide for various business purposes such as customer service, market research, improving our products and services, contacting you or your company, or providing you or your company or institution with offers that we believe may be of interest to you. You may at any time opt-out of these purposes by contacting us via one of the feedback mechanisms contained on our website.

Sharing of Personal Information
Cars Direct may share personal information with Cars Direct subsidiary and/or affiliated companies, which may be located in different countries or jurisdictions. When we do so, the other Cars Direct companies will use your personal information only as permitted by this policy.

We may also share your information with authorized third-party agents or contractors to provide a requested service or transaction. For example, if we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company. In these cases, we will endeavor to provide the minimum amount of personal information necessary to complete the requested service or transaction.

In some cases, we may share personal information with third parties who provide products and/or services which we believe may be of interest to you or your company or institution. When we do so, we will require the third party to use the personal information we share with them in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was shared.

In certain, limited circumstances we may share personal information with unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide personal information to third parties (i) at your request; (ii) to comply with a legal requirement, subpoena, court order, or the like; (iii) where requested by the police or other governmental authorities in connection with the investigation of a suspected illegal activity; (iv) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, or similar transaction involving Cars Direct; or (v) under similar circumstances. In these cases, we will take steps which are reasonable under the circumstances to protect your personal information.

We may also share information about visitors in aggregate, with personal information removed, with third parties such as advertisers, business partners and sponsors, to understand visitor trends and patterns, and to manage and improve our products and services.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties for marketing or similar purposes unless you have given us permission to do so.

Security
We intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the personal information you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
