Your personal information may be used by us to provide products and services to you such as: to obtain a licence for your vehicle, to obtain a credit report if you are financing or leasing your vehicle, to obtain appropriate financing of your vehicle for you, to provide you with a reminder that your vehicle requires servicing and to provide you with updates and information regarding products and services that we have to offer and which we think will be of interest to you.

Sometimes we have to share your personal information with others

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share some or all of your personal information with third parties such as the manufacturer of your vehicle and its related companies, the providers of products and services relating to your vehicle, credit reporting agencies, financial institutions or financing companies, your insurance agent or company and companies which provide or insure warranties relating to your vehicle.

If the information relates to the service or repair of your vehicle we retain the personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to address any issues arising from the service or repair of the vehicle or as may be required by law.
