CarChief® may ask for personally identifiable information from you to better serve you.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, CarChief® shall not sell or disclose your personally identifiable information to any third parties, except to the participating dealer related to CarChief®.

CarChief® may use your Internet Protocol address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the CarChief® Portal. Your Internet Protocol address is used to help identify you for the duration of a session and to gather broad demographic information. By providing any information to the CarChief® Portal, all users fully understand and unambiguously consent to the collection and processing of such information. CarChief® shall, pursuant to valid legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order, allow access to your personally identifiable information, provided to CarChief® or the CarChief® Portal in order to comply with such process and to protect our rights and property. If warranted, at its sole discretion, CarChief® may also allow access to this information in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of the CarChief® assets.

This CarChief® Portal may contain links to other sites. Other sites may also reference or link to the CarChief® Portal.  CarChief® is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other sites. 

CarChief® takes security very seriously.  Due to the open communication nature of the Internet, CarChief® cannot guarantee that communications between CarChief® and you will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Visitors to the CarChief® Portal must use the CarChief® Portal at their own risk.

Our CarChief® Portal also uses cookies and other forms of identification (collectively, “Tags”) to distinguish you from other users of the CarChief® Portal. This helps us provide you with a good experience when you browse the CarChief® Portal and also allows us to improve our CarChief® Portal and our services.

In many cases, these Tags lead to the use of your device’s processing or storage capabilities. Some of these Tags are set by CarChief® itself, others by third parties; some only last as long as your browser session, while others can stay active on your device for a longer period of time.

Internet browsers allow you to change your cookie settings, for instance, to block certain kinds of cookies. You can therefore block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies.

The terms of this Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to conflicts of law provisions. For the adjudication of any and all disputes no matter their nature arising under these terms, you hereby consent to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue only in the Iowa District Court for Linn County or in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa (Cedar Rapids Division).
