Your
privacy on the Internet is as important
to us as your safety when driving a BMW,
which is why we at Century West BMW believe
in an active approach to safeguarding your
privacy on-line. You can interact and remain
assured that you are protected by confidentiality,
security, and your individual right to
change your mind.
In
certain areas of this site you may choose
to share personal information with
us, such as your name, address or even
your driving interests. We may use this
information for marketing research and
other marketing and service related purposes
like sending brochures you request and
keeping in touch by e-mail. Any personal
information you choose to share with us
will not be disclosed to anyone outside
of Century West BMW, our related companies,
or our business partners who are contractually
obligated
to keep personal information confidential,
unless required by law. We will never exchange
or sell your personal information to any
other company. Customer telephone calls
may be recorded to protect you and our
staff.
We collect anonymous information about
every visit to our site by tracking Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses on an aggregate
basis. We do not link IP addresses to any
personal information associated to the
individual visitor. We use this information
only to determine how to make future visits
more convenient and productive for all
BMW enthusiasts. We also collect browser
type, access time, and the URL where a
user is entering or exiting the site.
Cookies
produce a luxury and convenience similar
to that of memory seats. They save
you the trouble of reentering certain information
in some registration areas, help to deliver
content specific information to you, and
track which sections of the site are most
popular. The cookies we use are elements
of data stored by your browser on your
hard drive. Usage of a cookie is in no
way linked to any personally identifiable
information.
Our use of cookies is controlled and guided
by our policy on confidentiality shown
above. We only use cookies for statistics
purposes and not for collecting information
about specific people.
You
will only receive e-mails or mailings
from Century West BMW if you have requested
to be on our correspondence list. If you
are currently on our list and do not wish
to receive further information from us,
simply tell us.
Though our site contains links to other
sites, we are not responsible for the content,
links or privacy on any of those sites.
We use e-mail links throughout the site
to allow you to contact us directly with
any questions or comments you may have.
We read every message and try to reply
promptly to every one. Information in the
message is used to respond directly to
your comments or questions. We may also
file your comments to improve the site
and programs, or review and discard the
information. Your personal information
is not shared with third parties without
your explicit permission.
Q. Will BMW Financial Services retain
and collect my personal information?
A. We collect, retain and use information about you only where we reasonably
believe that it will help administer our business. We must be able to identify
and distinguish you and your products and services to prevent unauthorized
entities from accessing your personal financial information.
Q. What should I do when I have finished
accessing confidential data?
A. When you have finished using a secure
area of the BMW Web site, make sure you
always click on the "Log Out Button." When
you click on it, you will be given the
option to end your secure session. No further
secure transactions
can be conducted without re-entering your User-ID and password.
Q.
Why can I still see some of my account
information even after I have pressed the "Exit
Secure Area" link?
A. Browser software often "caches" pages
as you look at them, meaning that some
pages are saved in your computer's temporary
memory. Therefore, you
may find that clicking on your back button shows you a saved version of a previously
viewed page. Please keep in mind that caching in no way affects the security
of your confidential User-ID or password. If you use your computer in a public
place, please read below.
Q.
What should I do if I am using a "public" computer?
A. If you use a computer that others also work and you are uncomfortable that
they may view "cached" pages after you have left the station, quit/exit
your browser software before leaving. This will decrease the possibility
of anyone viewing confidential information. No other users will be able to
access your account information online without your User-ID and password.
