Privacy Policy & Notice of Collection

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 or text messaging services will not receive unsolicited 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. 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 (such as your name, email address, or phone number) when you sign up for email or text reminders, request information, or use any interactive feature on our website is securely stored on our web servers and internal systems. We use this information to respond to your requests, provide updates about our company, products, and services, and to personalize your experience based on your interests and location. You may opt out of future communications at any time — see Opt-Out Procedures below.

Information Collected from Other Sources:

We may receive information about you from third-party sources to better understand and serve your needs. We require any such provider to confirm that the information was collected in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). Any information received from outside sources will be handled in accordance with this privacy policy.

Disclosure of Personal Information:

We collect and maintain your personal information for use by our dealership and our affiliated subsidiaries. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to unaffiliated third parties except as described in this policy or as required by law.

We may share your information with:

  • Lenders and financing partners to process credit applications and financing or lease transactions you initiate
  • Mitsubishi Motors and other manufacturers for warranty, recall, and vehicle registration purposes
  • Service vendors and agents who perform functions on our behalf, such as email or text message delivery and promotional services, who are contractually prohibited from using your data for any other purpose
  • Successor entities in the event of a sale or transfer of our dealership assets
  • Law enforcement or government agencies when required by law or to protect the safety of our customers or the public

Please note that third-party advertising and analytics providers may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites when you visit our site. This activity is governed by those third parties' own privacy policies.

Protection of Financial Information (GLBA Notice):

If you apply for financing or a lease with us, federal law requires us to protect your nonpublic personal information (NPI). This includes sensitive information such as your Social Security number, income, credit history, and account information. This information will only be shared as necessary to complete your transaction or as permitted under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. You have the right to opt out of certain sharing of your financial information with nonaffiliated third parties — see Opt-Out Procedures below.

We retain your financial information for as long as required by applicable federal and state law, even after your transaction with us is complete.

Business Partners:

Our dealership may work with select companies to provide services to our site visitors, such as email reminder or scheduling tools. Any information shared with these partners is limited to what is necessary to provide the requested service. These partners are not permitted to use your information for any other purpose.

Agents:

Our dealership may use other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf, such as administering email or text 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. You will never receive unsolicited messages from agents working on our behalf.

Business Transfers:

In the event that our dealership sells or transfers a portion of its business assets, consumer information may be one of the 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 that 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 such disclosure is necessary to protect the users of our Web sites, the sites themselves, or the public.

In the event of a data breach affecting 500 or more customers, we will notify the Federal Trade Commission within 30 days and will notify affected customers as required by applicable federal and state law.

With Consent:

Other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, you will be notified when any personally identifiable information about you may be shared with third parties, and you will be given the opportunity to decline to share that information.

Use of Cookies:

Our dealership may use a browser feature known as a "cookie." Cookies are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing you with a customized browsing experience. We use cookies to provide you with the convenience of not having to re-enter information multiple times during your visits, and to help provide you with content targeted to your interests.
