Privacy Policy

The Bob Loquercio Auto Group and our stores ("we", "us", or "our") are committed to protecting your privacy.  We take your privacy seriously and we are committed to safeguarding your privacy online.  Because we do gather certain types of information from visitors to our sites, we have developed a privacy statement to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of that information.  This Privacy Policy discloses the types of information we gather, how it is used, and how you can gain access to and edit any data that we've collected about you at any time when you visit this website (the "Website") or use our services.  By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We maintain a strict "no-spam" policy.  Subscribers to our e-mail services (or any other feature/service found on our Website) will not receive unsolicited e-mail messages from us.  Our dealership collects information online primarily to provide our visitors with a more relevant experience on our sites.  When doing so, we will make every reasonable effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of data.  Our dealership will take reasonable physical, electronic and managerial measures to safeguard and secure any information you provide to us (e.g. data will be stored in protected databases on secured servers with restricted access).  We will not share any information you've provided to us with anyone without your consent other than to provide the service you've requested.  At the time you register for any such service, you will be notified of, and asked to consent to, the sharing of your information with any particular third party necessary to the provision of the requested service.

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with applicable U.S. federal laws, and state laws in the states where we do business (Illinois and Indiana) including the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (815 ILCS 530/), which governs the protection of personal information for Illinois residents, and applicable Indiana laws including the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act (IC 24-15-1-1) and the provisions of IC 24-4.9.

1.      Information We Collect

Any information you provide to us (i.e. name, e-mail address, etc.) when you enroll in one of our E-Mail Reminder Services, request information, or use any of the other interactive portions of our Website, is securely maintained on our Web server and internal systems.  This information may be used to provide you with information you've requested about our company, our products and our services, or to provide you with special notices.  You may opt out of receiving future communications at any time (see Opt-Out Procedures, below).  This data may also be used to tailor your experience on our sites by providing content that is relevant to your interests and geographic region.

Anytime you visit our Website, we may also gather certain non-personally identifiable information regarding the means you use to access our site.  This information may include the type and version of your browser, your service provider, your IP address and any search engine you may have used to locate the site.  We use this information to help diagnose problems with our server, administer the Website, and compile broad statistical data.  In addition, we gather certain navigational information about where you go on our Website.  This information enables us to determine which areas of the Website are most frequently visited and helps us to tailor the sites to the needs and interests of our online visitors.  Such information is gathered by us in the aggregate and will not be associated with a specific individual without that individual's consent.

c.       Information from Third Parties

To help us better understand and respond to your needs and interests, we may in the future receive information about you from other sources, such as social media platforms, analytics providers, or marketing partners, when permitted by law and in accordance with their privacy policies.  We will ask any provider of such information to represent and warrant that the information has been gathered and maintained in accordance with all state and federal laws.  Any such information will be maintained by us in accordance with the standards set forth in this privacy policy along with other personal information you've provided.

3.      How We Share Your Information

We understand the importance of your privacy.  We collect and maintain the personal information of our consumers for our use and our affiliates.  We do not sell, rent, or trade consumer information to third parties, other than as described below, and never without your consent.  However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers:  We may work with select retailers and other companies at various times to provide expanded services to our site visitors.  As part of such a relationship, we may share with these companies the use of certain interactive Website functions (i.e. the E-Mail Reminder Service).  Information provided by site visitors through the use of such interactive functions may be available to both our dealership and our service providers.  We may also share your information with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, payment processing, or analytics, under strict confidentiality agreements.  Such parties only have access to the personal information needed to perform these functions and may not use or store the information for any other purpose. Subscribers or site visitors will never receive unsolicited e-mail messages from agents working on our behalf.
  • Legal Requirements:  We may disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a court order, subpoena, or other legal process, or to comply with the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act or Indiana law in the event of a data breach.
  • Business Transfers:  If we sell, merge, or transfer our business or assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality protections.
  • With Your Consent:  We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly consent to such sharing.

4.      Data Security

We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.  For example, we use encryption for sensitive data (e.g., payment information) and maintain secure servers.  However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In accordance with applicable law, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities in the event of a data breach involving your personal information, as required by law.
