FCAPIC collects and uses the information you provide to us. We may also obtain information about you from outside sources. For example, we may obtain commercially available demographic information about you from third parties, get device ID information from mobile applications or advertisements or purchase e-mail or similar lists from third parties for advertising and marketing purposes. We may use or share your Personal Information where it is necessary for us to complete a transaction or do something that you have asked us to do, like to "get a quote" or to "find a dealer" or to send you products or vehicle information. We may also use this information for our internal research purposes as we develop our products and services. We may use Personal Information and data collected for our advertising or marketing purposes including on other websites or media and we may communicate with you to provide you with information we think may be of interest to you.

 

If you make a request for information, for example, we might need to provide your name, address, or email to one of our dealers or a service provider with whom we have a relationship so that they can help us respond to you. FCAPIC's or FCA Affiliates’ vendors and suppliers may process your personal data in accordance with our policies.

 

We collect and use information from you in certain ways including:

 

Website or Application Usage. We (or our service providers) may observe your activities, preferences, and transactional data (such as your IP address and browser type) as well as pages you have viewed during your use of our Website or Application. We may use this data for any purpose unless we tell you otherwise in connection with a particular Website or Application. While we may collect or log this information, we do not identify you except if we believe doing so will help us better respond to a request you have made such as for a quote, identification of a local dealer, or similar request. With the exception of Location-Data, described below, where such non-Personal Information is linked to your Personal Information we will treat such information as Personal Information.

 

Location Data. Some FCAPIC Websites or Applications may capture and record certain location-data regarding your use of that Website or Application and your travels in order to provide location-related functionality ("Location Data"). We may link that Location Data to other information that you provide to us or that may be accessed in connection with your use of such a FCAPIC Website or Application. Your use of, and our ability to offer location based functionality is then enabled through our use and disclosure to third parties of Location Data and associated information.

 

E-Commerce. When you interact with us or purchase a product online (for example, to get a quote or locate a dealer) you will be asked for information needed to complete your request. The information you provide is used, for example, to process your transactions, to create and share reports about these transactions, or to provide related customer service. When you shop online or buy direct from one of our online stores, these purchase transactions may be conducted through FCAPIC’s or FCAPIC Affiliates’ vendors and suppliers. Vendors and suppliers engaged by FCAPIC’s or FCAPIC Affiliates’ may have their use of your Personal Information limited by this Privacy Statement, contractual restrictions, or applicable law. However, if a particular Website or Application is co-branded or developed by a third party, it is possible that another party's Privacy Statement will govern the treatment of information on that Website or Application. FCAPIC (through its or FCAPIC Affiliates’ vendors or suppliers) may limit the acceptance of orders to particular jurisdictions and as permitted by applicable law.

 

Product Registration and Support. FCAPIC may allow customers to register online. Personal Information provided for such purposes may be used to carry out the request, service, or agreement for which the information is submitted. With your consent, we may also use the information you provide in online registration forms to notify you periodically about important things like an update to the Application, a change to our Privacy Statement or notice of a security breach, new  FCAPIC’s or FCAPIC Affiliates’ products and services, and special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you. Failure to register any  FCAPIC’s or FCAPIC Affiliates’ product will not diminish the rights you have under the applicable product warranty.

 

Events and Promotions. You may be asked to provide an email address or other Personal Information at an event or for entry into a particular promotion (including sweepstakes and contests). The specific rules and regulations governing promotions will vary and your participation constitutes your agreement to abide by those rules and regulations.

 

Certain promotions may be run by a  FCAPIC’s or FCAPIC Affiliates’ service provider or vendor or co-branded with one of our partners or run on a third party site like Facebook. In these instances the collection of your Personal Information may occur directly by the service provider or vendor or a third-party partner on their website. The promotion will state the policies governing the collection of such information if they should differ from this Privacy Statement.

 

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION, COOKIES, AND RELATED INFORMATION COLLECTION

 

Cookies and Related Technologies. Cookies are small lines of text/data that are written onto your computer by website. FCAPIC or others acting on our behalf may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons or other similar technologies in connection with the operation of our Websites or Applications. These technologies may collect and store non-Personal Information. We utilize these technologies to research and understand how our Websites and Applications are used, to develop our products and services, to personalize your online experience with FCAPIC and for general advertising and marketing purposes. We may share data collected from you on our Websites with our third party vendors or suppliers to advertise or market to you on other sites as you browse the web. At the end of your visit, session cookies used by FCAPIC are removed. However, in some instances some FCAPIC cookies may persist. For example, to customize your experience we may require registration to recognize your computer and enable you to log-in without having to enter your password. It is possible that Cookies placed by FCAPIC or its or FCAPIC Affiliates’ vendors or suppliers (as applicable) in connection with the operation of the Website or Application may remain stored on your computer until you remove them.

 

Our or FCA Affiliates’ service providers or vendors may also use cookies and related technologies in order to personalize your experiences and adapt a particular FCAPIC Website or Application's functionality to your preferences and for purposes such as those listed above. If you are visiting a URL other than our brand websites (www.chrysler.com,   www.jeep.com,   www.ramtrucks.com,   www.dodge.com,   www.fiatusa.com,   www.alfaromeousa.com,   www.mopar.com,www.drivesrt.com,   www.fcausllc.com) or other FCAPIC or FCAPIC Affiliates’ Websites or Applications, you should carefully review the privacy policies of those web sites or applications. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to refuse receiving it. You should be aware that this may interfere with or make you unable to use certain functionality on websites using cookies. For example, many websites will ask your permission to use a cookie that will enable you to automatically log onto the website. Disabling or removing cookies may require you to manually log on each time you wish to visit that website.

 

Do Not Track (DNT). Because there is no common understanding about how websites should handle "do not track" signals (DNT), FCAPIC currently does not respond to these requests. Once a recognized standard is established, we will reconsider our approach and update our privacy policy accordingly.

 

Children. FCAPIC Websites or Applications are not directed at children. If you are under 18 or otherwise would be required to have parent or guardian consent to share information with FCAPIC, you should not send any information about yourself to us. If a person under 13 submits information through any part of a FCAPIC Website or Application, and we learn the person submitting the information is a child, we will attempt to delete this information as soon as possible. Because we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from persons under 13, we do not use or disclose such information to third parties.
