Privacy Policy

Our Commitment

Guiding Principles

We respect the privacy of everyone who visits our websites, sends us email, or uses the features and services we offer online. Our approach to online privacy is built on the following principles:

  • A strict “no-spam” policy. Subscribers to our email services — or any other feature on our site — will not receive unsolicited messages from us.
  • Relevant, not excessive. We collect information online primarily to give you a more relevant experience, and make every reasonable effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant data collection.
  • Reasonable safeguards. We take reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial measures to protect what you share — data is stored in protected databases on secured servers with restricted access.
  • No sharing without your consent. We will not share information you’ve provided with anyone without your consent, other than to deliver a service you’ve requested.
  • Consent at the point of collection. When you register for a service, you’ll be notified of — and asked to consent to — any sharing with a third party necessary to provide that service.
What We Collect

Information We Gather

We collect two broad kinds of information: anonymous data about how our site is used, and information you choose to give us.

Non-Personally Identifiable Data

Any time you visit our website, we may gather certain non-personally identifiable information about how you access our site — such as the type and version of your browser, your service provider, your IP address, and any search engine you used to find us. We use this to help diagnose server problems, administer the site, and compile broad statistical data.

We also gather navigational information about where you go on our sites. This helps us learn which areas are visited most and tailor the site to the needs and interests of our online visitors. Such information is gathered in the aggregate and will not be associated with a specific individual without that individual’s consent.

Information You Voluntarily Provide

Any information you provide — such as your name or email address — when you enroll in one of our email reminder services, request information, or use any other interactive part of our sites is securely maintained on our web server and internal systems.

This information may be used to send you information you’ve requested about our company, products, and services, or to provide special notices. It may also be used to tailor your experience with content relevant to your interests and region. You may opt out of future communications at any time (see Your Choices below).

Information Collected from Other Sources

To help us better understand and respond to your needs, we may in the future receive information about you from other sources. We will ask any provider of such information to represent and warrant that it was gathered and maintained in accordance with all state and federal laws. Any such information will be maintained under the standards set forth in this policy, along with the other personal information you’ve provided.

How We Share

Use & Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information — other than in the limited circumstances described here, and never without your consent.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We understand the importance of your privacy. We collect and maintain the personal information of our customers for use by our dealership and our subsidiaries. We do not sell, rent, or trade customer information to third parties other than as described below, and never without your consent. Please note that third parties may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use this website.

Advertising & Analytics Partners

We work with third-party advertising and analytics partners to help us market our vehicles and services and understand how our sites are used. This may include deploying tracking technologies on our properties that collect and share information about you with these partners, or providing your name, email address, and other contact details to them for advertising, related services, and analytics.

To the extent we disclose information to such a partner, that partner may use the information in accordance with its own privacy statement. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any advertising or analytics partner whose services appear on our sites.

Business Partners

We may partner with select retailers and other companies from time to time to provide expanded services to our visitors. As part of such a relationship, we may share the use of certain interactive site functions (for example, an email reminder service). Information provided through those interactive functions may be available to both our dealership and our partners.

Agents

We may use other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf — for example, administering email services or running special promotions. These parties only have access to the personal information needed to perform their function and may not use or store it for any other purpose. Subscribers and visitors will never receive unsolicited email from agents working on our behalf.

Business Transfers

If we sell or transfer a portion of our business assets, customer information may be among the assets transferred as part of that transaction. If substantially all of our assets are acquired, customer information may be transferred as part of the acquisition.

Compliance with Law & Safety

We may disclose specific personal information based on a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to comply with or conform to the law, or that it is necessary to protect the users of our sites, the sites themselves, or the public.

With Your Consent

Other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, you will be notified whenever personally identifiable information about you may be shared with third parties, and you will be given the opportunity to decline to share that information.

Cookies & Tracking

Cookies & Do Not Track

Our sites use cookies to make your experience more convenient. You’re always in control of how your browser handles them.

Use of Cookies

We may use a browser feature known as a “cookie” — a small file placed on your device that helps us provide a customized browsing experience. Cookies save you from re-entering information such as user IDs and passwords during your visits, and can help us present information matched to your interests based on prior browsing on our sites.

The “help” section of most browser toolbars explains how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies entirely. Because our sites are designed to take advantage of cookies, if you configure your browser to decline them, certain features may not function correctly and you may be required to re-enter user IDs and passwords more frequently.

Browser-Based Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to a DNT signal, we do not currently respond to DNT signals on this website or on sites where we provide advertisements, content, or other services.

Your Choices

Your Choices & Data Security

You control the communications you receive from us and share responsibility for keeping your account secure.

Consent to Communications

By providing your information, or by texting or calling us directly, you agree to receive manual, automated, and pre-recorded texts, emails, and phone calls from Dean McCrary Kia and all affiliates, including our parent company, manufacturers, and distributor partners. These informational and marketing communications may be powered by artificial intelligence, tailored to give you the most guest-centric experience possible. Message and data rates may apply.

We offer a variety of reasonable ways to opt out or unsubscribe from all communications, including an opt-out form on our website. You can find this form in the navigation under the “About Us” section labeled “Unsubscribe,” at the bottom of the homepage, or via this privacy policy page. For more information, please Manage Communications or call (251) 471-3326.

Opt-Out Procedures

You may always opt out of receiving future communications from us. Our sites let you opt out at the point where personal information is requested, or through other means we identify. You can also update your preferences any time at our Manage Communications page.

Passwords

The personal data record created when you register on our site can only be accessed with the unique password associated with that record. To protect the integrity of that information, you should not disclose or otherwise reveal your password to third parties.

Public Forums

Our sites may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, or news groups available at various times. Unless otherwise stated, any information disclosed in these areas becomes public information, so please use caution when deciding to share personal information in them.

External Links

Our sites contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites. To help protect your privacy, we recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit through a link from ours.

Accessing Our Sites from Outside the United States

If you visit our site from a location outside the U.S., your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. Any information you provide during your visit will be processed and maintained on our web server and other internal systems located within the U.S.
