We value your privacy.
The Chevy Store has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site.
1. Normal Web Site Usage
You can visit The Chevy Store's web site to obtain product and company information or use our online tools without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. The only information we collect and store during normal web site usage is the name and internet protocol address of your Internet Service Provider, the web site that referred you to us, the pages you requested, the date and time of those requests and similar non-personal click-stream data (i.e., browser type, etc.). We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of customer visits. During normal web site usage we do not collect or store personally identifiable information such as name, mailing address, email address, phone number, social security number or vehicle identification number.
2. Collection of Personal Information
There are instances where The Chevy Store requests personally identifiable information to provide the web site visitor with a service or correspondence (i.e., additional information, promotions, etc.). This information, such as name, mailing address, email address, type of request and possibly additional information, is collected and stored in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data by The Chevy Store and is used to fulfill your request. If you provide personally identifiable information, you may receive future communications from The Chevy Store and affiliated companies. If you tell us that the information should not be used as a basis for further contact, we will respect your request. The information you provide is used by The Chevy Store and affiliated companies to improve the services we provide you and to process any request you have made. Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, it is never provided to any other company for that company's independent use without your consent.
To use The Chevy Store's online tools, such as information requests, etc., we require a certain amount of personally identifiable information (examples are: name, email address, telephone number, zip code, etc.) that we can use to verify you as a The Chevy Store customer or meet a request. We use this information to identify and access data in the existing relationship we have with you to provide you with the requested services.
3. Electronic Mail Sent to Us that Contains Personal Information
Internet users may decide to send The Chevy Store personally identifiable information, for example, in an email containing information about your car. The Chevy Store will only use this information to identify you as a The Chevy Store customer and to determine how to respond to the email.
4. Additional Privacy Protections for Children Using the Internet
The Chevy Store joins the industry in recognizing that children, including young teens, may not be able to make informed choices about personal information requested online. Accordingly, The Chevy Store does not knowingly target children or teenagers (under the age of eighteen years) for collection of information online. The Chevy Store does not solicit or collect personally identifiable information targeted at children and teenagers under the age of eighteen and does not allow anyone else to do so on The Chevy Store web site.
The Chevy Store encourages parents to take an active role in protecting the privacy and security of their children and to prevent the inappropriate use of information about their children.
