The New England Acura Dealer Association (NEADA) provides this privacy statement for you to explain about the collection and use of personally identifiable information, in particular any such information that is collected at this website, located at
http://neacuradealers.com (the "Site"). This policy applies only to information collected on the Site, and does not apply to information collected from us elsewhere, nor does it apply to information collected or used by any one of the dealers that make up the New England Acura Dealers Association. It also does not apply to information we may collect from you elsewhere, such as through email messages or offline.
From time to time our information collection practices may change. You should check back on this page to see the most recent version of our Privacy Policy. This privacy policy is effective as of 3/17/2009.
Information Collection and Use
In many areas of this Site, you can browse without submitting personally identifiable information. Certain features, however, allow you to provide us with your contact information, such as our "get a quote" feature, where you can give us your name, email address and phone number. The information you submit is used as described when it is collected, for example to provide you with a quote on a particular car, to give you additional information about cars that might be available in your local area. Information you provide is also used for NEADA's legitimate business purposes, including sending you information about us, our member dealers, our products and services, or other products and services in which you may be interested.
NEADA may use passive tracking technologies, including cookies. These technologies are used to watch consumer behavior on this website, and to customize the content of the Site to the consumer in order to improve the consumer's online experience. These technologies may also be used to improve our Site features and functionality, to better understand our consumer, or for other legitimate business purposes.
Information Sharing and Links to Other Websites
NEADA may share information submitted or collected on this website with third parties, including vendors performing services on our behalf, with individual member dealers, or other parties related to NEADA. NEADA is made up of a collective of individual member dealers, namely Acura of Auburn (Auburn, MA), Acura of Boston (Brighton, MA), Herb Connolly Acura (Framingham, MA), Sunnyside Acura (Nashua, NH), Acura of Peabody (Peabody, MA), Prime Acura North (North Hampton, NH) and Prime Acura (E. Walpole, MA). Information collected on this Site may be given to any of these dealers. We may also share aggregate non-personal information to any of the above-listed entities, as well as to other third parties.
This website will provide you with the ability to visit any one of these dealer websites, the website of Acura, or other third party sites. Those third parties, as well as the individual dealers that make up NEADA, may have different policies than those of NEADA, and those third parties are not under NEADA's control. When you visit any of these other websites and submit information to those third parties, please keep in mind that information will be provided directly to the third parties, and their privacy policies and terms of use will apply. You should read those documents carefully before submitting information on those websites.
Information may be shared with third parties if we believe we are legally obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties, where we are working with a vendor or business associate who is performing functions on our behalf, or if we are jointly providing services with a business partner. In the unlikely event that we are sold or acquired, or part of our business is sold or acquired, your information will be transferred to the new owner. Your information may also be disclosed if we believe it is necessary to protect NEADA, one of our member dealers, or one of our users. If we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we may disclose any information about you to government officials; we may also disclose information in response to a subpoena or other governmental request.
