  • CLASSIC.COM also collects, stores, and uses aggregated data such as vehicle sale amounts and other statistical information.  Once aggregated, the data can no longer be used to identify an individual, household, or device.  This aggregate data may be shared with and used by third-parties to help CLASSIC.COM and its suppliers better understand and serve our Customers.
    • Categories of Personal Information Recipients
    We disclose your Personal Information with the following categories of recipients.  They are granted access to your information only to perform the tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
    Service / Fulfillment Providers :  We employ data hosting and website services, companies, individuals, and agents under contract with CLASSIC.COM to facilitate and help us provide our Services to you (“Service Providers”).  These Service Providers perform tasks or functions on our behalf, provide fulfillment and other services, or assist us in analyzing how our Services are used or delivered.  For instance, you may be asked to share your name and address with our payment card processors to complete your vehicle transactions, or with us to directly to process other Services.  We also disclose your Personal Information to our database and cloud storage providers that help us maintain our Websites, our Apps, and other systems.
    Marketing Partners :  We may provide your Personal Information to our Marketing Partners to help us provide information about our Services to you, including vehicles we think you may be interested in.  Often this information is masked in such a way that it does not directly identify you; however, we may share your Personal Information with such Marketing Partners on occasion.
    Categories of Personal Information Disclosed for CLASSIC.COM Business Purposes
    For our business Customers, not for private Customers, business related data is collected.  In such cases, the majority of information shared is your business information or device and Website interaction information as it relates to your role within your company.  Frequently, business information identifies you as an individual as well, such as if your business is a proprietorship, or if you use your personal cell phone or email for business purposes.  Sharing such business information becomes equivalent to sharing your Personal Information.  Most importantly, we need to share your name, address, payment information, the items you have requested to purchase, and any other information related to your vehicle listings with those providers necessary to complete your Services (such as our payment processor).  We may at times need to share certain device, App, and Website interaction information, such as your IP address and/or browser information, in relation to maintaining our Apps and Websites, providing you with ads or other marketing material, or providing other Services.  This Business Information or device and Website interaction information may be used in a manner that may reasonably identify or be linked to you as an individual, household, or device.
    Categories of Personal Information Shared or Sold
    CLASSIC.COM does not sell its Customers' Personal Information or business information for monetary gain.   In some jurisdictions, CLASSIC.COM’s sharing of personal data with advertising networks solely for CLASSIC.COM marketing and advertising, may fall under broad definitions of selling.  As described in the Cookies & Tracking Data section above, third-party cookies and other tracking technologies may be deployed on our Apps and Websites to collect device and interaction information.  You may opt out of these third-party cookies and tracking technologies designed to deliver targeted advertising by using the methods provided in the Your Cookies and Tracking Data Choices section above.  CLASSIC.COM does not knowingly collect the Personal Information of minors under the age of 16.
    Please note that a “sale” of Personal Information does not include instances when such information is part of a merger, acquisition, or other transaction involving all or part of our business.  If we sell all or part of our business or make a sale or transfer of assets or are otherwise involved in a merger or other business transaction, we may transfer your Personal Information to a third-party as part of that transaction.  If such a transaction affects the manner in which your Personal Information is processed, we will notify you of such a change prior to its implementation.
    Data Retention
    Your Personal Information will be retained in accordance with our Record Retention Policy.  Generally, we will only keep your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.  Our Retention Policy for Personal Information is based on several factors including the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which your Personal Information is collected and processed, legal obligations, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
    We also may retain log files in alignment with information security best practices, internal analysis and legal compliance purposes.  These log files are generally retained for a brief period, except in cases where they are used for App or Website safety and security, to improve App or Website functionality, or where we are legally obligated to retain them for longer periods.  We may be required to keep your Personal Information longer due to legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.  We may also retain your Personal Information longer if there is a complaint or if we can reasonably anticipate a legal dispute arising from our relationship with you.  If a specific regulation applies to the retention of your Personal Information, that regulation takes precedence over our Retention Policy.
    In some circumstances, we will anonymize or aggregate your Personal Information for research or statistical purposes as permitted by data privacy laws.  Once Personal Information is anonymized or aggregated, it can no longer be associated with an individual person, household, or device.
    Data Transfer
    CLASSIC.COM’s Services are hosted and operated in the United States (“U.S.”) through CLASSIC.COM and its service providers.  If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer and store the data, including Personal Information, in the United States and process it there.  The data protection laws in the United States are likely different from the country where you live.  If you are located in the European Union, be aware that U.S. data protection laws are deemed by the European Commission to provide inadequate protection of Personal Information as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  Your submission of such Personal Information represents your agreement to that transfer.
    Data Security
    The security of your data is important to us and you should be aware that no method of data transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.  While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.  By using our Websites, Apps, and Services, you acknowledge that there are data security and privacy limitations inherent to the use of the Internet, and that the security, integrity, and privacy of the Personal Information exchanged between you and CLASSIC.COM, or between you and other related entities, cannot be guaranteed.  Therefore, any information you transmit to us or that we store, and you do so at your own risk.
    We use third-party payment processors to process any transactions you make with CLASSIC.COM via our Websites and Apps.  The processing of those transactions is governed by the payment processors' privacy statement and security practices.  CLASSIC.COM is not responsible for the third-party payment processors' data security practices.
    State Specific Policies

    Submitting a Data Subjects’ Rights Request to CLASSIC.COM
    As mentioned above, certain state residents have certain rights to access, delete, or otherwise control the use, collection, and/or disclosure of their Personal Information.  CLASSIC.COM will respond to an individual's “verifiable request” to exercise their rights under such laws - that is, where CLASSIC.COM has received a request purporting to be from a particular individual, and CLASSIC.COM has been able to verify the individual's identity.  The need to verify an individual's identity is critical to protecting your Personal Information and ensuring that your Personal Information is not shared with anyone pretending to be you or someone who is not authorized to act as your agent on your behalf.
    You may submit a verifiable request to us as specified in the “Exercising Your State Law Privacy Rights” section below or as otherwise provided on our Websites and Apps (if such means are available).  CLASSIC.COM will ask you to provide information about yourself so that we can verify your identity as part of this process.  This information may include your name, your address, your account information, and any other information deemed necessary by CLASSIC.COM to reasonably verify your identity, to ensure that your information is not shared with anyone impersonating you.  Once we have verified your identity, we will work to fulfill your request in a timely manner.  Please note there may be some situations in which we are unable to fulfill your request, such as if we cannot find any information about you within our systems, if your information is necessary to fulfill your order with us, or meet a legal obligation.  We will inform you whether we can fulfill your rights request.
    We may ask for additional information if we have difficulty confirming your identity.  We will not share your information or honor other requests in those situations in which we are unable to verify your identity.
    Under certain state laws, a consumer can appoint an “authorized agent” to make certain verifiable requests on their behalf, such as the right to know what information we collect about the consumer or to request deletion of the consumer's information.  Because the security and privacy of your information is paramount, we will ask that you identify and provide permission in writing for such persons to act as your authorized agent and exercise your applicable rights under relevant law in such situations.  This may require us to contact you directly and alert you that an individual has claimed to be your agent and is attempting to access or delete your information.  We will also independently verify your identity to ensure that an unauthorized person is not attempting to impersonate you and exercise your rights without authorization.  We will not share your information or honor any other requests in those situations where you cannot or do not grant permission in writing for an identified authorized agent to act on your behalf, or where we cannot independently verify your identity.
