Your Rights Under the CCPA

1. Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold

Under the CCPA, you have a right to request that we disclose the categories of personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and sold. We call this as a “categories” request. You also have the right to request that we disclose the specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you, which we call a “specific pieces” request. These are referred to collectively as “Right to Know” requests under the CCPA.

2. Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information

You also have a right to delete the personal information we’ve collected about you. The “Right to Delete” is subject to several legal exceptions, such as when we are required by another state or federal law to retain your information.

3. Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Information

The CCPA provides consumers with the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information and sharing of their personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The CCPA defines a “sale” as disclosing or making available to a third-party personal information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. Cross-context behavioral advertising is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on the consumer’s personal information obtained from the consumer’s activity across businesses, distinctly-branded websites, applications, or services with which the consumer does not intentionally interact.

While we do not sell personal information for monetary value, we may disclose personal information to third parties, such as vehicle manufacturers, in such a way that may be considered a “sale” of personal information under the CCPA. We also share information with third-party advertising companies for cross-context behavioral advertising to identify and present advertisements tailored to your behavior (e.g., retargeting ads). To direct us to stop the sale or sharing of your personal information, click here to submit a request using our interactive web form.

We do not sell or share personal information of minors who we know are under 16 years of age.

4. Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Your CCPA Rights

You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA.

5. Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information

You have a right to correct any inaccurate personal information that we store on you.

6. Right to Limit the Use & Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

Under the CCPA, you have the right to limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you. Under California law, “sensitive personal information” includes, but is not limited to, your precise geolocation data, ethnicity, or social security, government-issued identification, bank account, or credit card number.

We may use and share certain categories of your sensitive information, such as geolocation data collected on our website, to infer characteristics about you. To direct us to stop the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information, click here to submit a request using our interactive web form.

Verification of Right to Know, Correction and Deletion Requests

To protect against fraud, identity theft, and the unauthorized disclosure or deletion of personal information, we require that consumers submitting requests under the CCPA first verify their identity. This may include a combination of SMS (text message) verification, email verification, and one or more questions regarding the consumer’s particular interaction or transaction with our dealership. If the consumer fails to verify their request via these methods, or the information provided by the consumer otherwise does not match our existing records, we will deny the request.

How to Submit a CCPA Request

To submit a Right to Know, Correct, Delete, Opt-Out, or Limit request, click here to access our online consumer request portal, or call our toll free number at (503) 255-7560 .

Authorized Agents

A consumer may designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on the consumer’s behalf. If a consumer wishes to authorize another person to act as an authorized agent on the consumer’s behalf, the consumer must provide the authorized agent permission to do so. An authorized agent can submit a CCPA request on behalf of a California resident by clicking here.

To help prevent fraudulent requests, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit proof that he or she has been authorized by the consumer to act on the consumer’s behalf. As proof that the agent has been duly authorized by the consumer to submit a CCPA request, the agent will be required to upload either (1) power of attorney signed by consumer, or (2) other signed permission from the consumer. Pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4300 to 4310, if an agent provides power of attorney signed by the consumer (“principal”) that purports to give the agent authorization to submit the request on the principal’s behalf, we may require that the agent provide information reasonably necessary or appropriate to identify the agent and principal and to facilitate the request. This includes, but is not limited to, identification of the agent and principal and the current and permanent residence addresses of the principal. If the agent provides some other signed permission from the consumer, we may require that the consumer (1) verify their identity directly with us through a combination of SMS (text message) verification, email verification, and one or more questions regarding the consumer’s particular interaction or transaction with our dealership and (2) confirm that he or she provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

How We Respond To Do-Not-Track Signals & Global Privacy Controls

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 Global Privacy Control (GPC), a specification 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. It consists of a setting or extension in the user’s browser or mobile device and acts as a mechanism that our websites can use to honor your privacy settings. 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. If your browser or device has enabled GPC, it will override your preferences selected in the cookie banner or privacy settings on this Site.

Use of Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and other similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, pixels, or 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 between visits. Cookies and any technology that serves a similar purpose as a cookie in the context of tracking, identifying, 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-party advertising companies may use “first-party cookies” or “third-party cookies” as described below.

First-Party Cookies. 

Many first-party cookies are necessary to facilitate essential website functions and enable you to navigate our Sites and use its features, such as remembering a consumer’s shopping cart or chat session across pages or multiple visits. Also, first-party cookies are used to improve the functionality of the Site (such as tracking errors) and may be used to improve the ability to market or advertise to our consumers strictly on our own Sites, such as building consumer interest profiles to improve the recommended products consumers see on our own Sites. By default, our Sites do not support an inherent mechanism to allow users to opt-out of these first-party cookies.

Third-Party Cookies. 

Third-party cookies refer to any cookie that shares or enables the sharing of information to an entity other than our own Sites. For example, some cookies used with third-party analytics providers will use a first-party domain but still share the collected information with the third-party provider. Our users can opt-out of certain third-party cookies by making the appropriate selection on our cookie banner that appears upon first visiting our Sites, using a browser or plug-in that supports Global Privacy Control (GPC), by submitting an opt-out request (see our Privacy Policy for more info), or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. We allow users to opt-out of the following types of third-party cookies:

• Cookies used to track consumers in order to serve ads to the consumer on other websites (e.g. retargeting ads that might appear on a search engine or social media that redirect you to our Sites).
• Cookies used to build consumer profiles to improve the overall ability to advertise to an individual or group of consumers across multiple Sites.
• Cookies used to track individual consumers to improve the ads they are served from a variety of advertisers (which may include the Dealership).

For some third-party cookies, our Sites do not offer an inherent mechanism for user to opt-out. This includes the following types of third-party cookies:

• Cookies used by our service providers or third-party advertising companies to perform an essential function solely on our own Sites. For example, they may use a cookie to remember a consumer’s chat session across pages or visits so that the customer service representative responding to the chat is aware of the previous questions asked by the specific consumer.
• Cookies used by our service providers to perform analytics solely for our own Sites.

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.

Except where prohibited by law, by using the Services you and Dealership agree that if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Services or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Privacy Policy or any part of it (hereinafter “Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute 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 settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to us at ATTN: 25300 SW Parkway Ave, Wilsonville, OR 97070 or 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. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON ANY INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

In the event of a conflict between this arbitration agreement and any other arbitration agreement between you and the Dealership such as an arbitration agreement contained in a retail installment sale contract, lease agreement, or repair estimate (hereinafter “Other Arbitration Agreement”), the terms of the Other Arbitration Agreement shall govern and prevail in each instance.

Venue And Choice Of Law
