Third Party Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Site. These companies use non-personally identifiable information regarding your visit to this Site and other websites, such as the user IP address, pages viewed, date and time of your visit, and number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, address, or other personal information), to serve ads to you on this Site and other websites which may interest you. In the course of serving advertisements to this Site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. In addition, we use clear GIFs, or pixel tags to help manage our online advertising. These clear GIFs enable our ad serving company to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits this Site.

You agree that we may contact you at any time with updates and/or any other information that we may deem appropriate for you to receive in connection with your continued use of the Site. We also reserve the right to release current or past member information in the event that we believe that the Site is being or has been used to commit unlawful acts, if the information is subpoenaed, to comply with any law, regulation, audit or court order, if we are sold or acquired or when we otherwise deem it necessary or appropriate. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you hereby consent to the disclosure of any record or communication to any third party when we, in our sole discretion, determine the disclosure to be appropriate including, without limitation, sharing your e-mail address with other third parties for suppression purposes in compliance with the requirements of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not use your Financial Information for any marketing purposes, or transfer same to any third party, other than, and exclusively, to third party sellers where necessary to effectuate the purchase of products and/or services that you applied for.
In addition, you agree that by submitting your personal information at the Site, such act constitutes a purchase, an inquiry and/or an application for purposes of the Amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR §310 et seq.

We also may disclose non-public personal information about you to non-affiliated third parties as permitted by law.

When you submit a financing application, your name, residential address, date of birth and Social Security Number will be used to verify your identity. In addition, as part of the request process, we may verify the information that you provide, or obtain omitted address or other contact information from third parties.

Updating or Deleting Your information
You may update or delete your information at any time prior to submitting any request to us. Once a request form is completed and submitted, you will not be able to change any of the information. Additionally, please be advised that once you have submitted your request and the information has been received by lender/brokers, dealers, or other third parties, this information is no longer under our control.
Security
All collected information is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. When our registration/application process asks users to enter sensitive information (such as Financial Information), and when we store and transmit such sensitive information, that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. Access to this information is strictly limited, and not accessible to the public. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees that need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personal information. Our employees are dedicated to ensuring the security and privacy of all CanadaAutoGroup.com user information. Employees not adhering to our firm policies are subject to disciplinary action. In compliance with applicable federal and state laws, we shall notify you and any applicable regulatory agencies in the event that we learn of an information security breach with respect to your personal information. You will be notified via e-mail in the event of such a breach. Please be advised that notice may be delayed in order to address the needs of law enforcement, determine the scope of network damage, and to engage in remedial measures.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change, modify, add and/or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. All Privacy Policy changes will take effect immediately upon their posting on the Site. Please check the Site periodically for any changes.
