Vehicle Service Contract Providers/Financing Companies/Joint Marketing Partners. The Vehicle Service Contracts, Mechanical Breakdown Contract and ancillary products made available through this Site are provided by our Business Partners. We will share information we collect about you with those parties, which will use the information to facilitate our ability to provide the Services you purchase from us.

If you choose to finance your product, we will provide your information to a separate Business Partner, which will collect payment from you and handle the financing of your purchase. Also, we may jointly market other products and services on this Site with other companies. If you choose to purchase a product or service with a company we collaborate with on this Site, we will share personal information that is necessary for these companies to provide those products or services. This policy does not cover the use of your personal information by these other companies. Please review their privacy policies for a description of how they may use the information that we share about you.

Service Providers. We will disclose the information we collect about you to Business Partners, including vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform functions on our behalf. For example, these Business Partners may assist us in directing traffic to our Site, managing our Site and our Services, providing customer service, delivering contracts, shipping items, processing credit cards, for research, marketing, data processing or to verify your identity and your VIN number. These companies are contractually bound not to use your personal information except as necessary to provide these services, and they may not sell your data.

Business Transfers. If we are acquired by or merged with another company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may transfer the information we have collected about you to the acquiring company. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website, of any change in ownership, material uses of your personal information, and choices you may have regarding your personal information that result from a business transfer.

In Response to Legal Process. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We also may disclose the information that we collect about you to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court order or other legal process, such as in response to a subpoena.

To Protect Us and Others. We also may disclose the information we collect about you where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or violations of our Terms of Use.

We and our Business Partners use cookies or similar technologies to track user activity and collect website and application data. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our website. We may combine this data with the personal information we have collected from you.

Cookies. Cookies allow a web server to transfer data to a computer for recordkeeping and other purposes. We and our service providers use “cookies” on this Site to, among other things, better serve you with tailored information and facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the Site. There are two types of cookies: session-based and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged in to the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through this Site.

Persistent cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, which may be combined with other user information.

Third-Party Cookies. We also engage third parties to serve advertisements tailored to your interests. To do so, we may permit third parties to apply cookies to users of our Site, which you may opt-out of as described above and below. We also use the data collected by such third parties to help us administer and improve the quality of the Site and to analyze site usage. Such third parties may combine the information that we provide about you with other information that they have collected.

Web Beacons, Pixel Tags and Other Technologies. We use web beacons, such as clear GIFs, web bugs or pixel tags, which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs in connection with our Site to, among other things, track the activities of website visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about website usage, and tailor advertisements to your interests. We and our service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, identify when our emails are viewed and track whether our emails are forwarded. We use technologies such as scripts in analyzing trends, administering the website and tracking users’ movements around the site. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis.

Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer you can edit your browser options to block them in future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to this Site who disable their web browsers’ ability to accept cookies will be able to browse the Site; however, many site features, such as certain Services will not function properly if you do not accept cookies.

Site Analytics. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data. We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer you and to improve site functionality.

Third-Party Advertising Services. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Sites and other websites you have visited. This enables us and these third parties to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Third party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs) and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content to you. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. We may provide these third-party advertisers with information about your usage of our Site and our Services, both personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information. If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising, please see information below.

When We Advertise on Third-Party Sites. When you visit a site on which we advertise and click through our advertisement, we may place cookies on your computer or use pixel tags.

Do Not Track. We do not currently support the capability to respond to web browser “do not track” signals.

Social Media Widgets. Our website includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button, and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our website. These Features may collect your Internet protocol address, which page you are visiting on our website, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing it.

Third party links may be available on the Site. When you click on a third party’s link from the Site, you will enter that third party’s site, over which we have no control. We are not responsible for third party sites. You should carefully review the privacy statements of any other sites you visit because those privacy statements will apply to your visit to such other sites and may be very different from this Privacy Policy.

We may change or supplement this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy, we endeavor to notify you of the change by posting prominently on the Site in this Privacy Policy and/or by emailing registered users of the change.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from individuals under 17 years of age. Our services are not intended for individuals under 17 years of age. No one under 17 years of age should submit or post personal information through our services. We may collect personal information regarding individuals under 17 years of age from their parents or legal guardians, but only as necessary to provide our products and services.
