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. Our
dealerships may collect information from cookies (see below) and other
technology to track your website usage and to provide you with
customized content, among other things.
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.
Use of Cookies
Penske
dealerships may use cookies or other tracking methods to recognize you
and your access privileges on the dealership site, to facilitate the
interaction between you and the dealership site, and to track site
usage. In addition, our dealerships may embed the services of third
parties to enhance the functionality of the dealership site, and those
third parties may use cookies or other tracking methods in order to
provide these services, track site usage, or for other reasons. You, of
course, have the option of refusing to accept cookies from this or any
other site by, for example, changing your browser preferences or using
commercially-available software. However, if you refuse the cookies from
these sites, you may find that some services do not function properly
or may be considerably slower.
"Cookies" are small strings of text
that are transmitted to a user's computer when the user accesses a
website, and then stored on the user's computer for future access by the
cookie provider. Cookies are part of the flow of information between a
user's computer and web servers, and are widely used on the web for,
among other things, customizing user interaction with websites. Our
dealerships websites do not respond to "do not track" signals or other
mechanisms that you may have utilized through your web browser to
exercise your choices regarding the collection of personally
identifiable information about your online activities. If you would like
to learn more about how to opt out of such programs, we encourage you
to visit the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Page or the Network
Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Tool.
Advertising / Online Tracking
Penske
dealerships may use online advertising networks to serve ads on
third-party websites. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from
many websites by using the opt-out tools available through the Digital
Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative. Please note
that if you opt out, you may still receive online advertising, but the
ads that you receive will be generic and not based on your online
preferences or behavior.
Security
The
security of customer information is very important to us and our
dealerships take a number of steps to safeguard it. Penske dealerships
maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply
with federal standards to guard non-public personal information about
you.
When our credit pre-approval form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as social security number), that information is
encrypted and is protected with 128-bit or greater SSL encryption
software, an industry standard for reputable organizations. While on a
secure page, such as our credit pre-approval application form, the
website address will begin with https://...
Furthermore, once the
information has been received, our dealerships use security procedures
and policies commensurate with industry standards to safeguard against
loss, theft, unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification and/or
disclosure.

privacy policy in effect at the time the information was collected.
