PRIVACY
STATEMENT:
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for loweryourcarnote.com. Lower Your Car Note promotes the use of fair information practices.
Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we
have agreed to disclose our information practices.
INFORMATION
COLLECTION AND USE:
Lower Your Car Note is the sole owner of the information collected on this
site. Lower Your Car Note will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this privacy
statement.
FINANCING
APPLICATION:
In order to obtain a quote, a user must first complete a Quote Request
Form. A user is required to provide personal information (such as
name, address, telephone number, Social Security number and email
address). This information is used to contact the user and provide
the quote or other information that has been requested. The user must
provide financial information so that Lower Your Car Note can review and
qualify the user for financing. All customer information obtained
via the quote request form is encrypted for security purposes and
stored on a secured server.
SHARING:
We may share demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is generally not linked to any personal information that can
identify any individual person. However, Lower Your Car Note may send E-mails
or mail to users about special offers or information that may be of
interest to the user based on the information we collect.
We may partner with another party to provide specific services. Only
when the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or
other contact information that is necessary for the third party to
provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these
services.
LINKS:
This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that
Lower Your Car Note is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of every web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
SURVEY AND
CONTESTS:
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or may offer contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such
as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes
of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
NOTIFICATION
OF CHANGES:
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
here so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
SECURITY:
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, the information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our quote request or order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as a social security number), that information is
encrypted and is protected by what we believe to be the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our
application form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such
as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked,
as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.
All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, has restricted access at Lower Your Car Note. Only employees who need
the information to perform a specific job (for example, loan officer,
sales representative or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Access to the information
is made via a password-protected program. Each time an employee who needs
access to information, they must enter their password to gain access to
the information. Furthermore, employees are kept up-to-date on our security
and privacy practices. Employees are periodically notified and/or reminded
about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure
our customers' information is protected.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send
an email to customerservice@loweryourcarnote.com
SUPPLEMENTATION
OF INFORMATION:
In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our
customers, it may be necessary for us to supplement the information
we receive with information from 3rd party sources. For example, to
determine if our customers qualify for financing, we use their name
and social security number to request a credit report or approval
from a lending institution. By completing the application, you are
giving us permission to obtain your credit report and to provide your
personal information to industry relations.
SITE AND SERVICE
UPDATES:
We may send the user site and service announcement updates which contain
important information about the service. We communicate with the user
to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their
account via email or phone.
CORRECTING
/ UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your
address or E-mail), or if a user no longer desires to receive information
from Lower Your Car Note, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct,
update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can
usually be done by emailing our Customer Support at
customerservice@loweryourcarnote.com.
