What information do Penske dealerships collect?

Penske dealerships may collect information that you provide on applications, forms, surveys and other correspondence such as your name, email address, social security number and income. Our dealerships may also collect information about your transactions with us or others. Our dealerships receive information from consumer reporting agencies, credit references, employers and insurance agencies such as your credit history, credit worthiness and information that our dealerships obtain to verify employment history or that insurance coverage is in force.

Disclosure of information to others
Penske dealerships will not rent or sell your name, address, email address, credit card information or other personal information to any third party. Our dealerships may use and disclose some or all of your information to third parties as set forth herein. We require these third parties to keep your personally identifiable information secure in accordance with federal requirements such as the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, where applicable. Our dealerships may use and disclose some or all of the information in accordance with applicable law as follows:

Service Providers/Marketing Partners - Penske dealerships provide information to third parties to assist in servicing accounts, administering and enforcing accounts, providing services to our dealerships or our customers and responding to customer inquiries. Our dealerships also may use marketing and other firms to assist in our own marketing efforts. These third party service providers may use customer information to perform contracted services at our request. We require these third parties to keep your personally identifiable information secure in accordance with federal and other applicable requirements, and our contracts with these third parties require that your information be used only to perform the contracted services.
Others - Penske dealerships are required to report sale related information to our manufacturer partners and government agencies. In addition, we may buy and sell assets or businesses such as automobile dealerships. When this occurs, customer information generally is transferred to the acquirer. Our dealerships also disclose information about you to third parties in certain other circumstances, as permitted by law, or to process a transaction requested by you. This privacy policy does not apply to the use of your information by third parties.

Audits/Judicial Proceedings - Penske dealerships reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when our dealerships believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our dealerships' rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on our dealership website.
Does this policy apply to Penske Automotive Group's affiliates or other sites that are linked from this site?
No, this policy applies only to Penske dealership website properties. As described above, our dealerships may share information obtained from this site with our partners and other third parties. While we expect that these others will respect your privacy in a manner consistent with our policies, we cannot guarantee that they will do so.

Advertising / Online Tracking

Security

While on a secure page, such as our credit pre-approval application form, the website address will begin with https://...
