We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the information or product and to confirm delivery.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. We may also use these email addresses to provide order status and order tracking information, and to respond to inquiries you may submit.
We may also maintain information you submit in a database of potential customers. We may use that information to formulate sales and marketing campaigns. We may reach out to you with information about forthcoming products and services. We may provide our lists of potential customers to third parties who conduct mail, email, and other customer contact events on our behalf.
We may offer gift cards by which you can personalize a product you order for another person. Information you provide to us to create a gift card is only used for that purpose, and it is only disclosed to the person receiving the gift.
You can register with our website if you would like to receive updates on our new products and services. We may use any information you provide to us in connection with that registration for our own marketing and market research purposes, as well as to make contact with you later.
We may use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website, to develop our product offerings, and to share with our advertising and marketing agencies and other suppliers in connection with their engagement by us. For example, we may tell an advertising agency that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form. We may also from time to time share with those agencies and suppliers information from which you could be personally identified, but only for use in connection with our programs, products, and services.
If you choose to register or receive information, products, or materials from us, or to otherwise give us personal information, we may store some or all of that personal information and use it for market research and marketing purposes, which may include sharing it with our affiliated retailers and with various suppliers that provide marketing, research, or other services for us. If you choose to save information, such as a vehicle configuration, on our Website, we may contact you to follow up on your interest in our cars.

"Cookies" are small items of data that some websites either write to your hard drive upon your visit to their site(s) or store in the browser. These data files contain information the site can use to organize the pages you have visited on a particular website. Our Website uses "cookie" technology to measure site activity and tailor information to fit your personal interests. In this way, we can deliver tailor-made information suiting your personal interests upon your next visit to our Website. Our use of "cookie" technology is intended to provide you with a better experience.
If you do not want your browser to accept "cookies," you will need to adjust the privacy settings in your browser. You will still be able to visit our Website and use many of its features, but your experience may be less than optimal. This is not our responsibility.
We may use "pixel tags," which are small graphic files that allow us to monitor the use of our websites. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie (please see "A Word about 'Cookies,' above) previously placed by that server on your computer. When corresponding with you via HTML-capable email, we may use "format sensing" technology, which allows pixel tags to let us know whether you received and opened our email.
Because your privacy is important to us, we have installed safeguards to secure any credit card information we collect online. Our e-commerce site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology supported by most popular browsers to protect your online transactions. SSL encrypts your credit card number, name, address, and phone number before they travel over the Internet. We also use additional technologies and measures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure appropriate use of this information.
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from persons we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
The e-commerce portion of our Website allows you to access and maintain all your personally identifiable information. Please click on the "Account Information" section of our Website. You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
