At CarSearch.com we take your privacy very seriously. Because of this we want to provide you with explicit information on how we collect, gather, and identify information during your visit to our site. This information may be expanded or updated as we change or develop our site. For this reason, we recommend that you review this policy from time-to-time to see if anything has changed. Your continued use of our site signifies your acceptance of our privacy policy.

Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, e-mail or postal address. In many cases we need this information to provide the personalized or enhanced service that you have requested.

The amount of Personally Identifiable Information that you choose to disclose to CarSearch.com is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us in conjunction with one of our services.

What information do we collect and how do we use it?
CarSearch.com collects information on our users by your voluntary submissions (for instance, if you request pricing or purchasing information on a vehicle or if you submit a classified advertisement to sell or purchase a vehicle or if you sign up for an e-mail newsletter or vehicle notification request) and/or surveys; sweepstakes and/or contest entries; and through cookie technology. In our effort to provide personalization for services, we may at times ask you to submit information such as your name or e-mail address. You never have to answer these questions, and you can decline this exchange of information on any site on the Internet - not just ours - at any time. However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent upon the collection of this information.

The information that CarSearch.com collects is used in a variety of ways for internal review; to improve and maintain the content and service of the site, thus making your user experience more valuable; to notify you about updates to the service; and to let you know about products and services that you may be interested in.

The "e-mail notification system" feature is an easy way for you to get notified of new vehicle ads through e-mail. The e-mail addresses that you supply to use this service will not be used for any other purpose without your consent.
