We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information, including:

  • HTTPS encryption on the Site
  • Secure storage and access controls that limit who can see your information
  • Training for staff who handle customer information

No website or data storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of your information. Please do not send sensitive information, such as your Social Security number, by regular email; use our secure credit application instead.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. You must be at least 18 years old to apply for financing or buy a vehicle from us.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site links to and includes services run by other companies, such as our secure credit application, our online payment portal, maps, chat and social media pages. Information you enter in those services is also subject to that provider’s own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites and services we do not control.

12. Changes and Contact Information
