This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and customers of our Sites, including those consumers and/or customers who apply for and/or receive financing for personal, family or household purposes. If you become an inactive customer, or if we close or suspend your account, we will continue to adhere to the Privacy Policy in place when we collected your personal information as long as we retain it in our databases. We may delete any or all of your information at any time without notice to you or for any reason or no reason unless we are otherwise required by law or retain it.

While the Dealership will review the consumer requests described below, it may not be required to fulfill them. If the Dealership chooses to honor some requests despite not being required to do so, that does not obligate the Dealer to honor other requests.

How We Respond To Do-Not-Track Signals & Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms

A “do-not-track” signal is a privacy preference feature in some web browsers that tells a website that a user does not want their online activity to be tracked. We currently support Do Not Track (“DNT”) and Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), specifications designed to allow internet users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, such as whether or not they want to be tracked or have their personal information sold or shared with third parties for targeted advertising. These specifications consist of a setting or extension in the user’s browser or mobile device and act as mechanisms that our websites can use to honor your privacy settings. If your browser or device has enabled DNT or GPC, it will override your preferences selected in the cookie banner or privacy settings on this Site.

You can learn more about DNT by clicking here. GPC is available for an increasing number of browsers and browser extensions, click here to view the options. If you want to use GPC, you can download and enable it via a participating browser or browser extension. More information about downloading GPC can be found by clicking here.

We are not responsible for the website, privacy practices or content of any third-party. If you have any questions about how these other sites use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

Security

We implement reasonable security measures to ensure the security of your personal information. However, no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure by nature. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you understand that any information that you transfer to us is done at your own risk. We may attempt to notify you electronically of any security system breach so that you can take appropriate steps. By using the Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services.

Children Under 13 Years of Age

Our Sites and Services are not intended for children under thirteen (13) years of age. Dealership does not knowingly collect or use and personal information from children under thirteen (13) years of age, and does not knowingly provide any personal information to any third party for any purpose whatsoever from visitors younger than thirteen (13) years old. If you are under thirteen (13) years old, please do not provide any information on our Sites or through our Services.

Use of Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and other similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, tracking pixels, scripts, fingerprinting, and local storage) to deliver content specific to your interests, track your website activity, help our Sites remember you, enhance your online experience with us, and provide you with information you’re most likely to need. Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers. Cookies and any technology that serves a similar purpose as a cookie in the context of tracking users/devices, identifying users/devices, processing information that users or their devices send to or through the Site, or building consumer profiles are included in our use of the term “cookie” for the purpose of this Privacy Policy. We, our service providers, or third-parties (e.g., advertisers and social media) may use and/or receive information from “first-party cookies” or “third-party cookies” as described below.

Cookies are first categorized by who places them or who is intended to receive information from them (first-party vs. third party), and secondly by their purpose.

1. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies.

First-Party Cookies refer to cookies that are created or placed by us. Many first-party cookies are essential cookies as described below.

Third-Party Cookies.

Third-party cookies refer to any cookie that is created or placed by a third-party. A third-party cookie often (but not always) shares or enables the sharing of information to an entity other than our own Sites.

We employ a holistic approach to determine if a cookie is classified as “first-party” or “third-party” including the domain that creates the cookie; the cookie’s domain attribute; and the domain of the server to which network requests that transmit information related to the cookie are sent. Accordingly, under this definition, even cookies with a first-party domain attribute may be classified as a “third-party cookie” if the cookie is set by, used by, or shared with a third party.

2. Cookie Purpose Categories

Essential Cookies.

Essential cookies refer to cookies that are critical for the functioning of a website. These cookies enable basic features such as page navigation, and access to secure areas of the website. Essential cookies are typically used to maintain a user's session, store authentication information, hold shopping cart items, comply with state or federal laws (e.g., accessibility or cookies preferences), and ensure the security of transactions. Without these cookies, a website may not work, or may not be able to provide certain basic services or features, and its performance may be affected. Essential cookies can be first-party cookies or third-party cookies. Our Sites do not support an inherent mechanism to allow users to opt-out of essential cookies.

Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the Sites to remember choices made by the user, such as language preferences, login details, or region selection, to provide a more personalized experience. These cookies also allow optional functionality, like chat modules, payment calculators, and service scheduling tools, to run. Functional cookies are also used to improve the functionality of the Site, such as by tracking errors. In the absence of these cookies, the website will still function, but certain features or enhancements may not be available or may have limited functionality.

Marketing Cookies: Marketing cookies consist of two subcategories of cookies:
- Analytics Cookies. These cookies that collect and transmit analytics and statistical information about how visitors use a website. These cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with their site. The information gathered may include the number of visitors to the site, the pages they visited, the average time spent on the site, and the referring websites. This data is then used to improve the website's performance, content, and user experience. By analyzing visitor behavior, website owners can identify areas that need improvement, optimize their site for better engagement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance their online presence. (Note: not all analytics cookies are used for marketing purposes.)
- Targeting Cookies. Also known as targeted advertising cookies and cross-context behavioral advertising cookies, these cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to users based on their interests and browsing behavior. These cookies collect information about a user's online activities (including by uniquely identifying the user and/or user’s browser and device), such as the websites they visit, the pages they view, and the links they click. This data can then be used to create a profile of the user's interests, which allows advertisers to display targeted ads that are more likely to be of interest to the individual. They are also used to limit the number of times an ad is shown and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Targeting cookies can also be used for retargeting, where ads for previously viewed products or services follow the user across different websites. The purpose of targeting cookies is to improve the effectiveness of online advertising by showing users ads that are more aligned with their preferences and interests.

Users may opt-out of cookies as described in the cookie banner that appears when first visiting our Sites. Additionally, users can opt-out of marketing cookies by using a browser or plug-in that supports Do Not Track (“DNT”) or Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), by submitting an opt-out request (see this Privacy Policy for more info), or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

Additional Information about Cookies.

Some web browsers offer settings that allow you to choose whether cookies are set by the websites that you visit. These controls vary by browser, but may allow you to disable all cookies, disable cookies for individual websites, or notify you whenever a cookie is set. Please note that if you disable cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some features or areas of the Site may be limited.

Our Sites may use products, such as Google Analytics, to measure how you interact with our Sites and to improve your user experience. For more information on Google Analytics, its privacy practices, and opt-out mechanisms, please visit the Google Analytics Security and Privacy Principles page at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en. For Google’s privacy policy and instructions on opting-out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The Network Advertising Initiative also offers a means to opt-out of a number of advertising cookies. To learn more, please visit www.networkadvertising.org. Note that opting-out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It means that the company or companies from which you opted-out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your preferences and usage patterns.

Note that this Site's cookie banner and privacy settings will only opt you out of the future tracking and sharing by cookies that are deployed by our Sites. In order to manage the information sharing and advertising cookies not deployed by our Sites (e.g., other third-party companies' cookies that are already tracking you), you may want to consider using one of the consumer choice tools created under self-regulation programs, such as the US-based https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN choices page.

Dispute Resolution, Arbitration Agreement, Class Action Waiver

Initial Dispute Resolution Procedure

Notice of Dispute, Requirement to Attempt to Resolve Disputes Informally.

By visiting the Sites and/or using the Services you and Dealership agree that if there is any controversy, claim, action, proceeding, demand, or dispute arising out of or related to your visit to the Sites, use of the Services, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Privacy Policy or any part of it (hereinafter “Dispute”), both you and we shall first try in good faith to resolve such Dispute informally by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) calendar days in which to respond to or resolve the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to us at ATTN: Audi Bridgewater 701 US 202/206, Bridgewater, NJ 08807 , and to you at the address or email we have on file for you. Both you and the Dealership agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. This notice and informal resolution requirement will not apply to the extent it is prohibited by law.

Arbitration, Class Action Waiver.

IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE INITIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, WE BOTH AGREE THAT THE DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

This means that if you and we have a Dispute that is not resolved in the informal process described in section 3.1 above, we both agree to resolve it through arbitration. Arbitration means that a neutral third party will hear both sides and make a decision. This is different from a court trial, where a judge or jury hears the case in a formal court setting and makes a decision. We both agree not to sue each other in court.

This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The arbitration will be before a single arbitrator and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on both of us.

This means that you or we cannot join together with other people who have a similar problem to bring a single case against the other party. You also cannot be part of a class action lawsuit (or class action arbitration) against us, and we cannot be a part of a class action lawsuit (or class action arbitration) against you.

Foureyes® Supplemental Privacy Notice

We use the analytics and reporting system and/or customer communications hosted system and service called Foureyes®, (the "Tool") provided by our website analytics vendor, Foureyes, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

When used in this Foureyes® Supplemental Notice ("Foureyes Privacy Notice"), "we," "us," and "our" may refer to us, Audi Bridgewater ("Dealer"), and/or Foureyes, its affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively, ”Foureyes”), as applicable. This Foureyes 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 Foureyes Privacy Notice and any Additional Privacy Notices, the terms of this Foureyes Privacy Notice will control with respect to the tool. However, this Foureyes Privacy Notice applies only with respect to the Tool, and not any other features or functions of the site.

This Foureyes Privacy Notice describes how the Tool works when you visit this site, engaging on phone, email or text communications with us through the Tool and how it collects, uses, and discloses your personal information. Please read this Foureyes Privacy Notice carefully. We may also update or modify this Foureyes 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 Foureyes Privacy Notice.

How the Tool Works. For each visit to the site, the Tool: (1) identifies the traffic source for the visit; and (2) 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 or chat functions 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.

Foureyes 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, depending on what you provide, may include a user's name, personal phone number, home address, email address, and similar information provided by the user, whether or not this information is complete or partially entered by the user. If you consent to receiving text messages we collect the phone number that you provide and when you send messages through the Tool, we will also collect your messaging history and any information included in those messages. 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 Foureyes 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 responding to your communications to us and for the purposes of marketing products or services to you. In particular, where it is lawful to do so (please see additional note below on Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation), 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 Foureyes to the following category of third parties or as otherwise authorized or required by law:

(i) OEMs: Foureyes partners with various automotive manufacturers ("OEMs") as a part of their respective certified marketing programs and their affiliates.

(ii) Third Parties: Foureyes 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. Foureyes 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 Foureyes' customers.

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@foureyes.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,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.

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.

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 support@foureyes.io, or by clicking the unsubscribe link on any such email marketing communication you receive.
