Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 15, 2023
Use of this web site signifies your acknowledgment and consent to this privacy policy. Please read this privacy policy carefully before using this web site.
Thank you for visiting our dealership website, including our mobile device-ready version. The dealership and our affiliates (together, "Fogg's Automotive", “dealership”, “us” or "we") strive to make our website a useful tool and a rewarding experience for our customers by tailoring the content to your personal needs and interests. This way, the content of our website will be as relevant as possible for you, the customer. We hope that you find our website to be a useful part of your car-buying experience. To accomplish this, we responsibly collect and utilize personally identifiable information. We respect your privacy, and this Privacy Policy documents our commitment to safeguard and treat your privacy and the personal information that we collect online with reasonable care and in strict compliance with applicable law for the protection of personally identifiable information.

This policy was implemented as of February 14, 2023, and applies to information collected on this website and those of our affiliates (together, "our website" or "the website") and covers the following areas:
  • What personally identifiable information is collected by the dealership or by any third party through our website.
  • How the dealership uses this information.
  • With whom the dealership may share this information.
  • What choices are available to you as a user of our website with respect to collection, use and distribution of the information;and
  • What types of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control.

Guiding Principles

This Privacy Policy applies only to our website and information collected for us or by us through our website and through various features and online offerings on our website. It does not apply to any third-party site or service linked to our website or recommended or referred by our website or by our staff. Further, it does not apply to any other type of online site or online service operated by the dealership or its affiliates, or to any of our offline activities.

Information Collection and Use

The dealership collects two different types of information through our website: anonymous information and personally identifiable information.

Anonymous Information

First, we collect and store anonymous, aggregate information (such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, search engines, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks) from all visitors to our website. You may search our website for car models, prices and other information provided through our website without ever submitting your name, email address or any other personally identifiable information. The anonymous information that we do collect from your visit is never linked to any of your personally identifiable information until you voluntarily submit that personal information, in which case some otherwise anonymous information may be connected to your website activity and personal account. Otherwise, the anonymous information is only used in the aggregate to analyze trends, administer the website, diagnose any problems, track a visitor's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may provide this anonymous information in aggregate form to other parties or use it for our own insight or marketing purposes. Our ability to use this information is not restricted in any way.

We also use "cookies" and "image tags" to collect certain usage information from all customers and visitors to our website. A "cookie" is a small text file that a website can place on your computer’s hard drive or on your mobile device’s memory in order to collect information about your activities on our website. An "image tag," also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, works together with cookies and is a small image file that may be located in various areas of our website. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you have the option to change your browser setting to decline them.

Accepting cookies in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you, since cookies are not used to identify anonymous website visitors. Our cookies enable you to proceed smoothly through our website and know whether you’ve used it before, so as to eliminate some steps that apply to new visitors. Cookies also give us usage data like how often you visit, where you go on our website, and what you do while here.

Similarly, a cookie may be placed by our third-party advertising companies. These companies may use aggregated statistics about your use of our website and third party media in order to provide you with advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. The information they collect does not include your personal information.

The third-party advertising companies may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of ads. Any such information is anonymous. They may use this anonymous information about your visits to this and other sites to provide advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. No personal information about you is collected during this process. The information is anonymous and does not link online actions to an identifiable person.

The dealership partners with third-party advertising company Google to collect information about how users navigate our website, and we use many or all their products to enhance our website experience. Like the dealership, Google is very much committed to consumer protection, to maintaining the privacy of your personal information and to making ads safe, unobtrusive, and relevant for you.

Google uses this information only to generate anonymous visitor profiles, which do not contain personally identifiable information. These anonymous profiles are used to provide you content specifically tailored to you. To learn more about how Google collects and manages information, or to opt out of Google’s collection of information about how you navigate our website, please visit Google's privacy policy.

Google’s technologies and products, including AdSense, AdWords, Google Analytics, and a range of DoubleClick-branded services, also use cookies. When you visit a page that uses one of these products, various cookies may be sent to your browser.

Among the Google products we use is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website (including your shortened IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and stored there. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity for our website operators and to provide other services related with the website and internet use. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law, or where third parties process these data on behalf of Google. For more information about Google Analytics and how it collects and processes data, please go to How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps. You can also opt out of Google Analytics.

To help us manage our advertising and website, Google offers many products in addition to Google Analytics, including Google’s Analytics for Display Advertisers, AdSense, AdWords, and a range of DoubleClick-branded services. The dealership participates in an integrated version of Google Analytics and DoubleClick products or services and/or other Google display ad products or services, known as Google Analytics for Display Advertisers. As with Google Analytics, you can learn more about Google Analytics for Display Advertisers, or you can opt out of these tools.

We have or may enable interest-based advertising features, including remarketing, with Google Analytics in connection with other Google services. This kind of advertising based on consumer interests and your precise geographic location may, in addition to remarketing, include Google’s AdWords product features known as: interest categories, similar audiences, other types of interest-based advertising and demographic and location targeting. DoubleClick advertising cookies or mobile advertising identifiers, associated with your use of our website, are or may be employed by us in all aspects of remarketing in online advertising.

"Remarketing" is simply a feature of interest-based advertising that lets us reach people who have previously visited our website. Remarketing helps us match interested people, like you, with a relevant message on our website or even when you search on Google using our keywords, use Google products like Gmail, or visit other websites. We gather information through cookies for remarketing, and similar audiences feature in AdWords, simply to make your visits relevant and allow us both to pick up where we left off on your last visit.

Our partners, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to our website and to show our ads on sites across the Internet. You can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, we may use Google DoubleClick's remarketing pixels to participate in remarketing and create a remarketing list of potential customers (this involves adding a remarketing tag, a small snippet of code that we get from Google’s Ad Exchange, across all our website pages). In such case, instead of the previous link, you can opt out of DoubleClick's use of cookies by visiting the DoubleClick opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Finally, you can opt out of any other third-party advertising partner's use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

With respect to unrelated, third-party web sites, such as third-party online retailers, advertisers, or unrelated sites that we may happen to link to, or web sites that link to our website, those third parties may collect personal information directly from you. The information policies and practices of these unrelated parties are not covered by this privacy policy. We do not control the privacy policies of third parties even if we may provide hyperlinks or other access to their web sites. We are not responsible or liable for their independent policies and practices. Please review their privacy policies and practices. It is your responsibility to review them and decide if you are satisfied with their protections.

Some browsers have a "do not track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.

Personally Identifiable Information

Second, we require the submission of certain personally identifiable information when you use some services available on our website. For example, your use of your first name, last name, email address and phone number allows us to identify you as our customer who is seeking information in connection with our products and services. Our website uses a variety of contact forms and tracking phone numbers for visitors to request information, products, and services. We collect a visitor's contact information (like his or her email address or phone number) and in some cases, demographic information (like his or her zip code). In limited circumstances, such as when a visitor fills out an online credit application, we collect unique identifiers (like a social security number), and/or financial information (like age, income level, bank account or credit card numbers). We use this information to get in touch with our prospective customers about their requests, and to send them additional information about our products and services.

Note that once you have created an order or otherwise voluntarily provided personally identifiable information to us, we may use cookies to help identify you. Personally identifiable information received from you (such as IP address, phone number, email address, zip code, etc.) may be contained in or linked to a cookie. The only time that we receive such personally identifiable information is when you volunteer it by submitting it to us.

We may use cookies with personally identifiable information so that our website can remember you, enhance your online visit with us, and provide you with the information you're most likely to need. For instance, cookies allow our website to remind you of your past vehicle search interests and website activity and to suggest similar products and services. In some cases, cookies may improve your shopping experience and we use information gained through cookies to track your website activity and to deliver you content specific information.

Any financial information we collect is used to check the qualifications of our prospective customers and bill for products and services ordered. If you apply for financing or wish to purchase or lease a car through our online system, we may collect personal information such as your name, address, driver's license number and state, social security number and other credit information. This information goes into a secure database and is used solely to provide the service you requested. The collection, use and storage of your financial information for credit checks, for arranging credit and loans or for purchasing products and services may be subject to additional privacy policies and if so, you will be notified of them at the time of any such collection, use or storage of your financial information as required by law.

Our online surveys may ask visitors for contact information (like an email address or phone number) which they may voluntarily provide. We also may run contests on our website in which we ask visitors for similar contact information in order to participate. We use contact information from our surveys and contests to send information about products and services to these participating visitors.

Our Use Restrictions on Your Personally Identifiable Information

The dealership does not sell, rent, or share personally identifiable information to or with any third party not affiliated with or owned by the dealership, except service providers who may assist us in such areas as our promotions, credit checks, data storage and order processing (See Agents and Vendors below). The dealership will never give or sell your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties to be used for the purposes of sending you unsolicited commercial offers, such as spam. We may, however, use your personal information to send you commercial offers in e-mails from the dealership or its affiliated companies, which do not relate to the products or services you have ordered. You may altogether avoid or opt out of these marketing campaigns (see "Opting Out" below).

We may also need to contact you for purposes other than marketing, for example to provide notice about the status of our website or the specific services you have requested. We also use this information to the extent necessary to enforce our website terms of service and to prevent imminent harm to persons or property. You may not opt-out of these kinds of communications. Consistent with our change policy (see "Your Consent and Notification of Changes" below), we will post any updates or notices about material changes in our policies on collection and use of your personally identifiable information to this Privacy Policy page.

Third Party Information About You

Our website supplements the information that you provide with information that we obtain about you from third parties, such as credit bureaus and other sources. To the best of our knowledge, we only deal with reputable providers who gather and maintain information in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws. Any such information will be maintained by us in accordance with the standards set forth in this Privacy Policy along with other personal information you've provided.

Our Agents and Vendors

The dealership may use other companies and/or individuals to perform any functions described in this Privacy Policy, on our behalf. Examples include marketing, credit checking, data and network hosting, service reminders, verification of sales, order processing and fulfillment, administering contact information and e-mail services and running special promotions. Such parties only have access to the personal information needed to perform these functions and may not use or store the information for any other purpose. We obtain commitments from these agents and vendors working on our behalf to refrain from using any information provided by the dealership to send you unsolicited e-mail messages from third parties or similar communications and from sharing your information with unrelated parties.

Disclosure of Personal Information as Required by Law or Otherwise

We will disclose personal information when required by law, or if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us or to comply with the request of a law enforcement agency, (b) protect and defend our rights, or (c) protect the rights, property, and other interests of our users or others.

External Links

This web site contains links to other sites. Our dealership is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites. To help ensure the protection of your privacy, we recommend that you review the privacy policy of any site you visit via a link from this web site.

Security

The dealership takes commercially reasonable precautions to protect your personally identifiable information. For example, we encrypt communications through our website with commercial strength encryption generally used by our industry. However, given the nature of the Internet and the fact that network security measures are not perfect, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. If we are required to provide notice to you of a data security breach, the notice will be provided in electronic form.

Your Consent and Notification of Changes

By using any of our website or submitting information to us online, you agree that we may collect and use this information as stated in this Privacy Policy at the time we collect the information. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy in any material way, for a reasonable time we will post a concurrent notice to this Privacy Policy page on our website to alert you about the change in our privacy and information collection practices. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that affect your personally identifiable information already stored in our database, we apply those changes to the personally identifiable information in our possession only as permitted by applicable law.

Opt-Out Procedures

Visitors and customers can opt-out of receiving specific types of communications from us and our partners, such as e-mail, by not providing personally identifiable information at the point where our website requests such information about you. In addition, you may unsubscribe or opt out of all future e-mails from us, that do not relate to the products and services you have ordered, by clicking the unsubscribe link on any email marketing communication you receive.

Further Information about Our Privacy Policy and Practices

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and customers of our website. We may delete any or all your information at any time without notice to you for any reason or no reason unless otherwise required by law to retain it. You may have other privacy protections under state laws, and we will comply with any applicable state laws when we disclose information about you. This Privacy Policy replaces any previous policy on this topic and any statements or disclosures to you about our information practices.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change and update this Privacy Policy. These changes will be made when appropriate, in a timely manner. We encourage you to examine our Policy from time to time to ensure you are aware of any changes we may have made. Your continued use of this site and affiliated sites after any such update indicates your agreement to the same.

Data Retention

We keep information associated with your user profile for as long as we think is necessary or advisable to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and we reserve the right to retain it to the full extent permitted by law. If required by law, a governmental order, or similar legal process, we will disclose your information.

Children

The site is intended for adults who have reached the age of majority in their state, province or territory of residence. The site is not directed at children under age 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 16, and if we learn that the Tool has collected information of a child under age 16, we will delete the information.

Adomatic Supplemental Privacy Policy

We use the analytics and reporting system, Adomatic, (the "Tool") provided by our website analytics vendor, Adomatic LLC.

When used in this Adomatic® Supplemental Notice ("Adomatic Privacy Notice"), "we," "us," and "our" may refer to us, Fogg's Automotive ("Dealer"), and/or Adomatic, its affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively, “Adomatic”), as applicable. This Adomatic Privacy Notice may be posted or displayed separately on the site or may be appended to another privacy notice or policy posted or displayed on the site (“Additional Privacy Notices”). To the extent an inconsistency or conflict arises between the terms of this Adomatic Privacy Notice and any Additional Privacy Notices, the terms of this Adomatic Privacy Notice will control with respect to the tool. However, this Adomatic Privacy Notice applies only with respect to the Tool, and not any other features of the site.

This Adomatic Privacy Notice describes how the Tool works when you visit this site and on our phone system, and how it collects, uses, and discloses your personal information. Please read this Adomatic Privacy Notice carefully. We may also update or modify this Adomatic Privacy Notice at any time by posting it to this site. Please refer to “Effective Date and Modifications” below for the effective date of this Adomatic Privacy Notice.

By using this site or our phone system, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described herein. If you do not consent, you may opt-out of the use of the Tool (as set out below). You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice, by contacting the office of our Privacy Officer using the contact information set out below.

How the Tool Works

For each visit to the site, the Tool:
  • identifies the traffic source for the visit; and
  • issues a unique visitor ID number and visitor traffic number.
As the user navigates the site, the Tool may track and store the pages visited and features used. The Tool also may collect and link information provided through forms featured on the site or during phone calls with a visitor ID number. Using local storage, the Tool may also store data in the user's Internet browser or in a data repository on the user's device for purposes of associating the user with his or her user profile. The Tool operates only on the site and our phone system – it does not track information regarding your use of other sites or activities on other sites.

Purpose of collection

Using the Tool, we collect personal information for purposes related to managing, marketing and developing our businesses as further described herein and including:
  • establishing and managing business relations with you
  • providing us with information in order to allow us to analyze usage of the site, improve the site, the Tool, and for development of new services and products;
  • marketing products and services to you; and
  • for other purposes related to the management of our relationship.
Adomatic further collects personal information for purposes of operating and administering the Tool for subscribers of the Tool, such as the Dealer and other third parties.

Information Collected and Usage of Information

The Tool creates a user profile including the user's visitor ID number and any information the user directly provides through the site or other interactions with the site and/or the company associated with the site (e.g., phone calls and chats). This information may include a user's personal information, such as name, personal phone number, home address, email address, and similar information, whether or not this information is complete or partially entered by the user. We will not ask for or knowingly associate financial information with your user profile. Unless the user provides us personal information, the information we collect using the Tool and which is associated with the user profile is limited to information automatically collected as a user browses and interacts with the site, such as the user's browser type, available plugins, Internet service provider, Internet protocol ("IP") address and/or mobile device ID, and pages visited, features used, and activities performed on the site. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the information collected and associated with a user profile is used, maintained and disclosed in accordance with the restrictions, consents, and permissions in this Adomatic Privacy Notice and any Additional Privacy Notices (if any), including obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on disclosure to third parties.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that the information associated with your user profile may be used to understand and analyze the usage of the site, and for the purposes of marketing products or services to you. In particular, where it is lawful to do so, the Tool may automatically generate and send email marketing communications to you (to the extent you have provided your email address as part of your interactions with the site and/or the company associated with the site). The content of those email marketing communications may be based on the pages that you have visited and/or the features you have used on the site. To opt-out of receiving the email marketing communications generated by the Tool, please see the Opt-Out instructions below.

Third Party Disclosure

Unless required or permitted by law, the information associated with your user profile will not be used or disclosed to third parties other than for the purpose for which it was collected, without the user's prior consent.

For purposes of clarity and in addition to any disclosure to third parties described in any Additional Privacy Notice, the information collected by the Tool and/or associated with your user profile may be disclosed by Adpearance to the following category of third parties or as otherwise authorized or required by law:
  • OEMs: Adomatic partners with various automotive manufacturers ("OEMs") as a part of their respective certified marketing programs and their affiliates.
  • Third Parties: Adomatic is party to certain agreements with third parties with whom it conducts business regarding the Tool and/or the information collected by the Tool and/or associated with your user profile. Adpearance may disclose your personal information to such third parties who may provide services that facilitate the operation of the Tool, assist us in providing an improved customer experience to you, or assist us in providing improved services to Adpearance’s customers.
  • marketing products and services to you; and
  • for other purposes related to the management of our relationship.

Blocking and/or Disabling the Tool

The Tool gathers information about the user's computer hardware and software configurations to identify the user each visit and associate the user with their existing user profile. Unlike a "cookie", and except for local storage discussed below, the system does not store a file on the user's computer; therefore, the user information gathered is not deleted when the user clears their cache and/or deletes their cookies. In order to disable the tool, see the Opt Out instructions below.

Opt-Out

The Tool's opt-out functionality is cookie based, so for it to work for you, your browser must allow third party cookies. If you change computers or browsers or delete this cookie, we will no longer know you have opted out, so you will need to opt-out again. To opt out, click here. Note that opting out of cookies on the Dealer’s site will not be an opt out with respect to the Tool.

You may also opt-out of, or withdraw your consent to (where the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation applies) receiving email marketing communications generated by the Tool by sending a request to support@adomatic.io, or by clicking the unsubscribe link on any such email marketing communication you receive. Please note that clicking the unsubscribe link may only result in your no longer receiving marketing communications generated by the Tool; you may still receive other email marketing communications from the Dealer. If you opt out or withdraw consent with the Dealer or on the Dealer’s site, you will still also need to opt-out or withdraw your consent regarding the Tool as set out in this paragraph.

As noted above, the Tool may also collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage and application data caches. Browser web storage enables websites to store data in a browser on a device. When used in "local storage" mode, it enables data to be stored across sessions. Similarly, an application data cache is a data repository on a device. You may stop local storage from being used by modifying your Internet browser settings, but stopping local storage may result in the site having impaired or limited functionality. Furthermore, disabling local storage will not block the Tool from operating; rather, it will only prevent the Tool from collecting and storing information locally on your device. To disable the Tool, see the Opt-Out instructions above. Further, you should refer to the help provided by your Internet browser for the most up-to-date and accurate instructions on disabling local storage.

Do Not Track Signals

If you do not want the tool to gather information about your user profile and site visit, now and for future browsing sessions on this device, please refer to the opt-out procedures above or refrain from using the site. We do not currently respond to do not track (DNT) signals.

Accessing, Correcting, Updating Your Personal Information

You have a right to know what personal information we have about you and correct any inaccuracies. To review your information that is collected using the Tool, contact Adomatic by email at info@adomatic.io or by regular mail addressed to Adomatic, LLC, 3730 Dr. MLK Jr St N, Saint Petersburg, FL, 33704.

Data Retention

We keep information associated with your user profile for as long as we think is necessary or advisable to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and we reserve the right to retain it to the full extent permitted by law. If required by law, a governmental order, or similar legal process, we will disclose your information.

Children

The site is intended for adults who have reached the age of majority in their state, province or territory of residence. The site is not directed at children under age 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 16, and if we learn that the Tool has collected information of a child under age 16, we will delete the information.

Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation

We are committed to complying with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation and will only send you email marketing communications (or other commercial electronic messages, as defined in Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation) where it is lawful to do so. If you have consented to receiving marketing materials from us, you can withdraw your consent to receiving email marketing communications generated by the Tool by sending a request to info@adomatic.io, or by clicking the unsubscribe link on any such email marketing communication you receive. Please note that clicking the unsubscribe link may only result in your no longer receiving marketing communications generated by the Tool; you may still receive other email marketing communications from the company associated with the site.

European Union and United Kingdom Privacy

If the processing of your information in connection with the Tool is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("EU GDPR") or the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") (collectively, the "GDPR"), we have additional obligations and you have additional rights under the GDPR. These rights and obligations are as follows:

We will process your personal information using the Tool in order to support our provision of services in connection with your use of the site. The lawful bases for processing your personal information may include:
  • When you have given consent;
  • When processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract;
  • When processing is necessary to protect Adpearance's or our legitimate interests or that of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights;
  • When processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we or Adpearance are subject; and
  • When processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

You have many rights with respect to our processing of your personal information. Depending upon the lawful basis of processing, you may have the right to withdraw consent or object to our processing your personal information.

You have the right to be informed about your personal information and how it is being processed, to access, correct and erase personal information, to restrict further processing, to obtain and reuse your data for your own purposes across different services and to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant EU or United Kingdom supervisory authority.

If we transfer your personal information to a recipient in a country outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we will do so in compliance with applicable laws with respect to such transfer.

Storage in the United States

The Tool is operated and controlled from offices in the United States. If you access the site from locations outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. Your access to the site constitutes your agreement to our storage of your personal information within the United States. You understand that your personal information may be stored and/or processed in the United States, notably at the address indicated above, that it may be subject to the laws of the United States and that it may be accessible to tribunals, courts, law enforcement and regulatory agencies in the United States.

Effective Date and Modifications

This Adomatic Privacy Notice is effective on September 15, 2023. We may amend this Foureyes Privacy Notice from time to time. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, our only notification will consist of posting a new policy.
