Privacy
Our dealership takes your privacy seriously and is committed to protecting your online privacy. 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 collect, how it is used, and how you can access and edit any data we have collected about you at any time.

Our dealership respects the privacy of individuals who visit our websites, 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 website) will not receive unsolicited e-mail messages from us.

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 with anyone without your consent, except 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, sharing your information with any third party necessary to the provision of the requested service. No mobile opt-in or text message consent will be shared with third parties or affiliates.

Business Partners:
Our dealership may partner with select retailers and other companies at various times to provide expanded services to our site visitors.

Subscribers or site visitors will never receive unsolicited e-mail messages from agents working on our behalf.
Business Transfers:
If our dealership sells or transfers a particular portion of its business assets, consumer information may be included among the transferred business assets as part of the transaction. If substantially all the assets of our dealership are acquired, consumer information may be transferred as part of the acquisition.
Compliance with Law/Safety:
Our dealership may disclose specific personal information based on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with or conform to the law, or that it is required to protect the users of our websites, the sites themselves, or the public.
