In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means information about an identifiable individual, such as an individual’s name and email address, but does not include (to the extent permitted by law) information that is publicly available in a telephone directory or that is business contact information that enables an individual to be contacted at a place of business.

In those circumstances, you can choose not to provide certain requested personal information, but then you might not be able to proceed with your intended interaction or transaction with the Canada Prime Autos Company or otherwise receive the full benefit of the desired product or service. Telephone calls between you and the Canada Prime Autos Company will be recorded to ensure accuracy and quality assurance, and may be disclosed to third parties to verify the Canada Prime Autos Company is compliant with its contractual obligations to third parties. You can choose not to have the telephone call recorded, and communicate by writing or electronic transmission.
(b) Automated Collection Canada Prime Autos Company may automatically collect certain information regarding your use of the Canada Prime Autos Company’s website or online service, such as the dates and times that you access the website or online service, the browsers, operating systems, software and devices that you use to access the website or online service and details of your use of the website or online service.
Canada Prime Autos Company’s websites, online services, email messages and advertisements may use technologies (e.g. cookies, web beacons, tokens, pixels or tags) to collect information that assists the Canada Prime Autos Company to improve its products, services, customer communications and advertising and to prevent fraud.

You also acknowledge and agree that any dealers or other persons or organizations to which we have disclosed your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, may request a credit report for any legitimate purpose associated with your application for credit, extending credit, modifying the terms of your credit agreement, collection on your account, or similar services or products.

By providing your personal information to a Canada Prime Autos Company, you consent to the transfer of the personal information to facilities located in other countries and the processing and storage of the personal information at those facilities.

Canada Prime Autos Group creates and collects non-personal information (information that is not about an identifiable individual), including personal information that has been aggregated or otherwise depersonalized so that the information no longer relates to an identifiable individual. Canada Prime Autos Group may use, disclose, transfer and retain non-personal information for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy amends any of those other agreements.
(b) Changes to this Policy: A Canada Prime Autos Company may change this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a new version of this Privacy Policy on the Canada Prime Autos Company’s website.
