This Privacy Statement is for
general website visitors. If you choose
to complete an
auto loan application please read
the additional privacy statement
included on the application.
The HighwayFinance.Com. (HFC) service is
not available in every region. If you
choose to apply for an auto loan and
reside outside our service region you
will be redirected to an affiliate
website that services your region. HFC
is not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of such Web
sites. Please read their respective
Privacy Statements.
The policy of HFC is to respect the
privacy of all visitors to the extent
permitted by law. This privacy statement
is intended to inform you of the ways in
which we collect information, how we use
such information, and how we protect
such information.
There are four types of information that
this site may collect during your visit:
network traffic logs, web visit logs,
cookies, and information voluntarily
provided by you.
Information Voluntarily Provided by You
In the course of using this web site,
you may choose to provide us with
information to help us serve your needs.
For example, you may send us electronic
mail (through a mailer or a web form) to
request information, you may sign up for
a mailing list, or you may send us your
address so we may send you an
application or other material. Any
personally identifiable information you
send us will be used only for the
purpose indicated. Requests for
information will be directed to the
appropriate staff to respond to the
request, and may be recorded to help us
update our site to better respond to
similar requests. We will not sell,
exchange or otherwise distribute your
personally identifiable information
without your consent, except to the
extent required by law. We do not retain
the information longer than necessary
for normal operations. Each web page
requesting information discloses the
purpose of that information. If you do
not wish to have the information used in
that manner, you are not required to
provide it. Please contact us with
questions or concerns on the use of
personally identifiable information.
Network Traffic Logs
In the course of ensuring network
security and consistent service for all
users, HFC employs software programs to
do such things as monitor network
traffic, identify unauthorized access or
access to nonpublic information, detect
computer viruses and other software that
might damage our computers or the
network, and monitor and tune the
performance of our network. In the
course of such monitoring, these
programs may detect such information as
e-mail headers, addresses from network
packets, and other information.
Information from these activities is
used only for the purpose of maintaining
the security and performance of our
networks and computer systems.
Personally identifiable information from
these activities is not released to
external parties without your consent
unless required by law.
Web Visit Logs
HFC web sites routinely collect and
store information from online visitors
to help manage those sites and improve
service. This information includes the
pages visited on the site, the date and
time of the visit, the internet address
(URL or IP address) of the referring
site, the domain name and IP address
from which the access occurred, the
version of browser used, the
capabilities of the browser, and search
terms used on our search engines. This
site makes no attempt to identify
individual visitors from this
information: any personally identifiable
information is not released to external
parties without your consent unless
required by law.
Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information stored
by your web browser on behalf of a web
site and returned to the web site on
request. This site may use cookies for
two purposes: to carry data about your
current session at the site from one web
page to the next, and to identify you to
the site between visits. If you prefer
not to receive cookies, you may turn
them off in your browser, or may set
your browser to ask you before accepting
a new cookie. Some pages may not
function properly if the cookies are
turned off. Unless otherwise notified on
this site, we will not store data, other
than for these two purposes, in cookies.
Cookies remain on your computer, and
accordingly we neither store cookies on
our computers nor forward them to any
external parties. Unless otherwise
notified on this site, we do not use
cookies to track your movement among
different web sites and do not exchange
cookies with other entities.
HFC web sites provide links to other
World Wide Web sites or resources. We do
not control these sites and resources,
do not endorse them, and are not
responsible for their availability,
content, or delivery of services. In
particular, external sites are not bound
by the HFC's online privacy policy; they
may have their own policies or none at
all. Often you can tell you are leaving
a HFC web site by noting the URL of the
destination site. |
