If you turn off cookies, many of the Site’s features will not work as well or at all. Anonymous information regarding use of our Site and services that is collected and/or aggregated by or on behalf of Carpliciti through the use of such technical means or otherwise is referred to in this Statement as “Usage Data.”

You agree that the seller or other third party may use an autodialer to text or call, and that a portion of any call may be pre-recorded.

For example, Carpliciti may use statistical analyses of Usage Data in order to measure interest in the various areas of the Site, for development purposes and to inform advertisers and partners in aggregate and anonymous terms about consumers who click on their advertising or other messages. IP addresses are also used for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes.

However, you agree that Carpliciti may send to you, and you cannot opt out of, communications of a transactional or relationship nature, including, but not limited to, communications regarding fraudulent or illegal activity and changes to this Statement or the Carpliciti Terms of Service
Mobile-specific information we may collect
Carpliciti collects mobile information such as your device and hardware IDs and device type, the request type, your carrier, your carrier user ID, and the content of your request, which does not by itself identify you, though it may be unique or consist of or contain information that you may consider personal. Carpliciti may collect geo-location information (this may include when you use location-based products and services on the Site, and/or turn on location-based services on your mobile device). This information may reveal your actual location, such as GPS data, or it may not, such as when you submit a partial address to look at a map of the area. All requests may be sent through your mobile carrier’s network and your carrier may have access to it. For information regarding your carrier’s treatment of your information, please consult your carrier’s privacy policies.
Information Sharing
Carpliciti shares the personally identifiable information that you provide with third parties in the following cases:
Affiliates. Carpliciti may share your personally identifiable information with affiliates in a manner consistent with this Statement.
Requests. If you request information or services through the Site, you agree that Carpliciti may share personally identifiable information with third parties as may be necessary to provide such information to or perform such services for you. For example, if you use the Site’s “Email the Dealer” form in a vehicle listing to request a price quote from a dealership, Carpliciti will share the information you entered with that dealership (or its designee). If that vehicle listing was provided by an automobile manufacturer on behalf of a dealer, Carpliciti may also share the personally identifiable information you submit as part of the request with the automobile manufacturer and/or its affiliates. Similarly, if through the Site you request additional information from a financial institution, Carpliciti will share your information with that institution. Personally identifiable information also may be included in reports to these third parties, but only when you have intended to submit the information to the third party as described above. After the information is provided to such third parties, the subsequent use or disclosure of such information is subject to those third parties’ privacy policies and practices and Carpliciti does not control their subsequent use or disclosure of information.
Direct Marketing. Except as provided herein, it is Carpliciti’s general practice not to disclose personally identifiable information of our customers to third parties specifically for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. If you are 18 years of age or older and have affirmatively agreed to receive third-party direct marketing materials, Carpliciti may share personally identifiable information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. Although Carpliciti will notify all third-party direct marketers that the information provided to them is confidential, the subsequent use or disclosure of such information is subject to those third parties’ privacy policies and practices.
Service Providers. Carpliciti may work with third parties that provide services on its behalf, including, among others, providers of analytical, attribution, development, promotional, research, credit card processing, technical and other services. For example, Carpliciti may ask that a third party conduct an online survey or sweepstakes or send newsletters on its behalf. Similarly, if you make a payment to Carpliciti by credit card, Carpliciti may share your personally identifiable information and credit card information with a third party in order to process credit card transactions, or such information may be collected directly by the credit card processing service provider on Carpliciti’s behalf. In such cases, Carpliciti asks that the third party maintain your personally identifiable information as confidential and use the information only to perform the services specified by Carpliciti.
Email List Opt-Outs. In the event Carpliciti sends promotional emails to you on behalf of third-party advertisers and you inform Carpliciti you wish to opt out of future promotional emails from a particular third party, Carpliciti may share your email address with that third party so the third party may add you to its opt-out lists.
Other. Carpliciti expressly reserves the right to release any personally identifiable information or other information you provide to third parties under the following circumstances: (a) when required by law or legal process, (b) to investigate and/or take action against illegal activity, suspected abuse or unauthorized use of the Site, (c) to protect the property or safety of our users or others, (d) to enforce our Terms of Service and (e) in connection with any sale or other transfer of ownership of all or a part of Carpliciti. Further, if you make any personally identifiable information publicly available on the Site, Carpliciti reserves the right to disclose such information to third parties, including, without limitation, insurance companies and Carpliciti’s affiliates and third- party distribution partners.
Please note that the messages that Carpliciti sends to you to confirm, fulfill or follow up on a request may incidentally include promotional material or other content from Carpliciti or its partners. Carpliciti reserves the right to share Usage Data with any third party for any reason.
