Our Website, Platform, and other publicly facing Services and applications are primarily intended for interaction in the business environment. Our information collection practices are focused on the business context, and the careful and limited identification of leads and prospective clients for our Clients’ targeted sales efforts. These data include:

This includes:

Lead Data

If an individual interacts with a Client, for example, to inquire about a product, service, promotion, contest, event, etc., the visitor becomes a lead. In these cases, the Client’s Brand Ambassador will submit information about that lead to us via our Platform and we will collect the information that the Brand Ambassador provides to us. The information is provided directly and voluntarily by the individual. Depending on the circumstances, the information may include:

  • First and Last Name
  • Email address
  • Street address, city, state, province and/or country
  • Telephone number
  • Mobile Number
  • Vehicle of interest
  • Looking-to-Purchase Date
  • State of driver’s license, state of issuance, and expiration date

When a Client has purchased the Service, we create an account on our Platform, in the name of the Client. The Client has the ability to create one or several accounts. For each authorized Brand Ambassador allowed to use these accounts, we request:

  • First and Last Name
  • Name of the company for which the Service is purchased
  • Email address
  • Street address, city, state, province and/or country
  • Telephone number

To access the Client account, the registrant is required to choose a password.

 

Communications to Users / CAN-SPAM

Unless we are prohibited by applicable law from using cookies and a user has not otherwise opted out or disabled our use of Log or Traffic Data that comes to us in the form of first- or third-party cookies, we insert cookies in some of our correspondence with users. In that case, when we send an email message to a user, our message contains images or links, which when viewed or clicked, will register an event with us that allows us to know whether the user has accessed or declined to open our message. This action may also store a cookie which will allow us to count unique clicks or visits and potentially track the recipient.

This information is needed for our legitimate business purposes, because it helps us understand how the individual reacts to our communications and limit the amount and nature of information provided. We believe that such means are fair, lawful, and proportional to the legitimate interest and needs of our business, and that our methodology fairly addresses each user’s legitimate rights and expectations in view of the context and purpose for the collection and use of the information collected.

The information is collected in connection with our marketing efforts and is retained so that we can continue or elect to stop interaction with the lead.

If you receive commercial electronic communications from us, you can unsubscribe from the receipt of future commercial electronic communications from us by clicking on the “unsubscribe link” provided in such communications.

Please also note that if you do opt out of receiving commercial electronic communications from us, we may still send you important administrative and transactional messages (such as updates about your account or service changes and information about your requested transactions), and you cannot opt out from receiving these messages.

 

Surveys and Contests

From time-to-time, we invite users to participate in surveys or contests. Participation is voluntary. These surveys are organized for the purposes of marketing efforts on behalf of our Clients.

When a user participates, we request certain personal data such as name and email address. This is necessary to ensure that responses are categorized properly and are not duplicated.

Depending on the nature of the survey or contents, we also use this information to send the survey results to the user participants, or, if applicable, to notify contest winners and award prizes.

We use the information obtained from these surveys and contests in aggregate form, for analytics purposes, to understand our market, to monitor Website traffic or app usage, or to modify our Platform or our Services to meet the needs or interests of users.

If we use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys, the information collected by the service provider may be subject to both the service provider’s privacy policy and Company’s. We will provide information about the applicable privacy policies with the survey rules and will seek your explicit consent to these rules when required by law. You should read the terms of the survey or contest to understand the extent to which the service provider is allowed to use or reuse the information collected.

 

Social Media

Our Platform offers integrations with third-party social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Vimeo. These services collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Platform. They may set a cookie to enable their features to function properly. Social media features and widgets are hosted by a third party or directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature.

Your use of these services is optional. If you elect to use them, you will be deemed to have expressly consented to the collection of personal data by these services according to their terms.

 

How Information is Collected 

The information is collected through several different means described below. We believe that such means are fair, lawful, and proportional to the legitimate interest and needs of our business, and that our methodology fairly addresses each user’s legitimate rights and expectations in view of the context and purpose for the collection and use of the information collected.

However, please be assured that we do not want to intrude in your busy life or waste your time. If at any time you wish that we cease any form of collection or processing of information about you, please contact us as indicated in the “Contact Us” section.

Security 

Security of Personal Data

We use commercially reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect information within our control against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, modification, destruction, processing or disclosure, and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. We believe that these measures are reasonably adapted to the nature of the information in our custody.

We limit access to our users’ Personal Data to only those employees who reasonably need access to it to perform the activities attached to their job responsibilities. However, due to the realities of data security, no security system or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% effective or secure. Thus, we cannot guarantee that any information provided to us or collected by us will not be accessed, hacked, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by unauthorized parties.

 

Breach of Security

In the event that we become aware of a security breach which we believe has resulted, or may result, in the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of non-public personality identifying information, as that term may have more specific definition under applicable privacy laws, we will promptly investigate the matter and notify the applicable parties of such breach. Such investigation will be without delay, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement; (ii) measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach; (iii) efforts to identify the individuals affected; and (iv) steps to restore the reasonable integrity of our Platform.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us might have been compromised, or if you suspect someone else is using your account, please let us know immediately by contacting us as indicated in the “How to Contact Us” section.

 

Lost or Stolen Information

You must promptly notify us if your credit, bank, other financial institution information, username, or password is lost, stolen, or used without permission. In such an event, we will assist you in updating your details, including account details if possible.

 

Data Retention

We will retain personal data we collect from you where we have justifiable business need to do so, and/or for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required by law, such as for tax, legal, or accounting purposes.

You can request deletion of your personal data at any time, and we will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws.

When we have no justifiable business need to process your personal data, we will either delete it or anonymize it, or if it not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

California Residents: Rights under California Law

California requires operators of websites or similar services to make certain disclosures to users who reside in California regarding their rights, specifically:

 

Shine the Light

Under California law, a business that has an established business relationship with an individual, and has, within the immediately preceding calendar year, disclosed personal data that is primarily used for personal, family or household purposes to third party for the third party’s direct marketing purposes, must disclose to its California users, upon request, the identity of any such third party, along with the type of personal data disclosed.

You can contact us to as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section. Please note that under California law, businesses are only required to respond to a user’s request once during any calendar year.

 

Do-Not-Track

Some browsers give individuals the ability to communicate that they wish not to be tracked while browsing on the Internet. California law requires that we disclose to users how we treat do-not-track requests. The Internet industry has not yet agreed on a definition of what “Do Not Track” means, how compliance with “Do Not Track” would be measured or evaluated, or a common approach to responding to a “Do Not Track” signal. Due to the lack of guidance, we have not yet developed features that would recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals in response to California law.
