Cookies
Like many websites, The Beechmont Automotive Group uses cookies. A cookie is a text file ("cookies.txt" on a PC and "magic cookies" on a Macintosh) placed on the user's hard drive by a website's server. This cookie contains information about the user's session. The Beechmont Automotive Group' cookies serve two purposes:
- to allow The Beechmont Automotive Group to understand, in aggregate, the usage patterns of the website, and
- to allow users to return to non-public areas of the website from the same PC without re-registering. Cookies contain no personally identifiable information. You may set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when our site is attempting to place a cookie. If you reject the cookie, you will be limited to the areas of our site you may use.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, analyze site traffic, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
In addition, we work with a few carefully selected, third-party vendors to implement The Beechmont Automotive Group's customer programs. These vendors are provided name and contact information in order to execute these customer programs on our behalf. Our vendors are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services, and they are contractually bound not to resell or share this data with anyone.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that The Beechmont Automotive Group is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by The Beechmont Automotive Group.
Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for your email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time, our site requests information from users via surveys or 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 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.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - Secure Socket Layer, or SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order 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."
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to toyotasales@beechmonttoyota.com
Special Offers
We will occasionally send information on services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to decline these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt/out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send customers updates regarding the status of their vehicle purchase via phone, email or both. Customers are not able to un-subscribe to these email notifications, which contain important information about their vehicle's status. However, you may tell your Customer Care Specialist that you prefer phone contact exclusively.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If your personally identifiable information changes (such as your email), or if you no longer desire our service, you may email us the information at toyotasales@beechmonttoyota.com
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an "opt-out" mechanism so users who register with our site, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by emailing us at toyotasales@beechmonttoyota.com and letting us know what you desire.
Users of our site are always notified when information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so you can make an informed choice as to whether you should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
