When We Disclose Your Personal Information
We disclose Personal Information to third parties and others. Specifically, in the last 12 months, we have disclosed your Personal Information to:
• Companies You Choose. We may offer you the option to have us send certain information to third parties or give them access to it.

We disclose Identifiers, Consumer Records, Commercial Information, and Marketing and Communication Information to our retailers and authorized vehicle service providers. We provide them this information as needed in connection with your reservation, to honor your request for more information, a price quote, schedule your test drive, or provide repairs or services. We also provide retailers with the foregoing information so they can contact you in their regular course of business.

When We Sell or Share Your Personal Information
We may provide your Personal Information to retailers, vehicle service providers, and business partners who can use that information for their own business purposes. Some jurisdictions consider that disclosure a sale because we get something of value in return. We also allow our advertising partners to collect limited information about you when you interact with our Web Properties so that they can provide you with more relevant advertising based on your online interactions with us and others. This is commonly known as targeted advertising. But some states consider the practice to be “selling” or “sharing” your information.
In the last 12 months, we sold or shared the following categories of Personal Information: Identifiers, Consumer Records, Protected Characteristics, Commercial Information, Audio and Visual Information, Internet or Network Activity Information, Geolocation Data, Marketing and Communications Information, Sensitive Personal Information, and Inferences. And we did so to collect data to personalize your experience, provide products and services, perform research and development, and facilitate retailers’ and partners’ offerings.
We do not have actual knowledge that we sold or shared Personal Information on anyone who is younger than 16 years old that has visited our website.
If you do not want us to sell or share (in other words, make available for certain targeted advertising) your Personal Information, you can opt out by visiting our opt-out page or following the instructions below in the section describing your privacy rights. Additionally, consistent with our goal of offering you choices regarding your information, we are also providing you other ways you can prevent our partners from collecting your information for targeted advertising. You can use the opt outs provided by the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance. Alternatively, you can configure your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) to delete and/or control the use of cookies.
Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature (DNT) that signals to websites you visit that you do not want them tracking your online activity. Many websites and applications, including the Web Properties, do not currently respond to web browser DNT signals because those signals are not yet uniform. But you can limit their tracking using the options described above.
