Last Updated: Apr 26, 2017

AutoMall.com adopted the following privacy policy with a fundamental respect for our customers' right to privacy and to guide our relationships with our customers. This Privacy Statement discloses the privacy practices for all products and services owned by AutoMall.com.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

AutoMall.com collects information from our website users, subscribers and other customers. In this section of our Privacy Statement, we describe the type of information we collect and how we use it to provide better services to our customers.

Nonpublic personal information

When signing up for certain selected services (such as credit application), we collect nonpublic information which may include but not be limited to Name, Address, Monthly Income, date of birth and Social Security number (SSN).

We request your authorization to receive information from a consumer reporting agency (credit bureau). The authorization is transmitted to a participating lender in our network, who may be a separate entity in the case where you are applying for a vehicle loan and are contacting a specific dealership using a single contact form. The lender will actually request and receive your credit report.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)

AutoMall.com, LLC does not itself directly contact its customers using auto dialers or per-recorded telemarketing calls. However, some of its partners (e.g., auto dealers, insurance providers, loan providers, credit scores and credit services, etc.) may.

By filling out a contact form, providing a phone number and clicking on the submit application or contact link(s) on AutoMall.com's website, you agree to the following statement: I hereby consent to receive autodialed and/or per-recorded telemarketing calls from or on behalf of the AutoMall.com, LLC partner with which I have initiated contact. I understand that consent is not a condition of purchase.

Communications with Us

We have features where our customers can submit information to us (such as our contact information page). Where such submissions include requests for service, support or information, we may forward them to our agents, as needed, to best respond to the specific request. In addition, we may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve customers better.

Automatic Data Collection

Our web sites, and certain other products and services have features that automatically collect information from customers, to deliver content specific to customers' interests and to honor their preferences. This information assists us in creating products and services that will serve the needs of our customers.

For example, we may use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies benefit the user by requiring login only once, thereby saving time while on our web site. If users reject the cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of our web site. Additionally, we may note some of the pages the user visits on our web sites. The use of cookies, pixels and web beacons enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our sites and via our email newsletters.

In addition, some of our business affiliates use cookies on our web sites and in ads or promotions. However, we have no access to or control over these business affiliates' cookies; we urge users to read their privacy policies for information. In particular, we use third-party advertising technology to serve ads for AutoMall.com products and services when you visit certain AutoMall.com web sites. This technology uses information about your visits to these AutoMall.com web sites (not including your name, address, or other personal information), to serve our ads to you. In the course of serving our advertisements to you, a unique third-party cookie may be placed or recognized on your browser. In addition, we use web beacons, provided by our ad serving partner, to help manage our online advertising for AutoMall.com products and services. These web beacons enable our ad server to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits these sites and to learn which banner ads bring users to our Web sites. The information used in this process is not personally identifiable.

For our internal purposes, we gather date, time, browser type, navigation history and IP address of all visitors to our web sites. This information does not contain anything that can identify users personally. We use this information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information about our user base for aggregate use.

We may combine demographic information supplied by a customer at registration with web site usage data to provide general profiles, in aggregate non-personally identifiable form, about our customers and their preferences in the content of the site and advertising. We may share this composite information with our advertisers and business affiliates to help them better understand our services.

WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED

Access to the information we obtain about you resulting from credit application submission is restricted to only those service providers who need to know that information for the purpose of purchasing an automobile or obtaining credit.

Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally identifiable information with other companies, apart from those acting as our agents in providing our product(s)/service(s), and which agree to use it only for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential.

We may share aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable, with others. This information may include usage and demographic data, but it will not include personal information.

SECURITY

We use reasonable precautions to protect our customers' personal information. Sensitive information that is transmitted online (such as Social Security number) is encrypted and is transmitted securely.

This is where it pays to think ahead before you get your loan. Long-term loans have lower payments (good from a cash flow perspective) but cost more in interest (bad, if over time, the car becomes worth less than you owe and you need to sell it). Financial experts say 12-15% of your monthly take-home pay is appropriate for a car loan payment. Use this number to gauge the highest sticker price you will pay for a car. Try working the numbers for a loan amount you can afford, and will pay off in three or four years.

You can enter any rate here or use interest rates based on your Credit Score.

This is your monthly after-tax take home pay. You can find this information on your pay stub if you're not sure.

This is the amount you'd like to finance. Most likely, the price of the car you're interested in.

This is the amount you can afford to pay per month after all other payments such as mortgage/rent, credit card, etc., are paid first.

If you have bad or poor credit, lenders charge higher interest rates and loans cost more, to save money, consider getting help to improve your credit score.
