2. Information We Collect

We may collect several categories of information from and about users of the Site. The types of information we gather depend on the nature of your interaction with the Company and the services you request. We categorize the information we collect into personal information, technical information, and usage information as described below.

This information is collected through server logs and may also include your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and geographic region based on your IP address.

Usage Information

We collect data about how you interact with the Site, including the pages you view, the links you click, the duration of your visits, the sequence of pages you navigate, search queries you enter, and features you engage with. This helps us understand user behavior patterns, improve site usability, and identify content that is most relevant to our audience.

3. How We Collect Information

We employ a variety of methods to collect the information described in the previous section. The primary collection channels include direct submission by you, automated tracking technologies, and information received from third-party sources as outlined below.

Direct Collection: We collect information directly from you when you voluntarily provide it through the contact form on the Site, email communications, telephone conversations, service inquiry submissions, newsletter sign-ups, account registrations, surveys, and any other interactive features of the Site that require input. You are never required to provide personal information to browse publicly accessible pages of the Site, but certain features and services may be unavailable without it.

Automated Collection: As you navigate through and interact with the Site, we use automatic data collection technologies such as cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and server log analysis to gather technical and usage information. These technologies help us understand how visitors use the Site, identify technical issues, measure the effectiveness of our content, and improve overall user experience. Detailed information about our use of cookies is provided in the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section below.

Third-Party Sources: In some cases, we may receive information about you from third-party partners, including analytics providers, advertising networks, business directories, social media platforms, and publicly available sources. When we obtain information from these sources, we ensure that the third party has obtained appropriate consent for sharing such data and we handle it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

4. Use of Collected Information

The information we collect serves multiple purposes, all of which are designed to enhance your experience, deliver our services effectively, and fulfill our business obligations. We use the collected information in the following ways:

• Service Delivery: To provide, operate, maintain, and improve the services you request, including responding to inquiries, generating project proposals, delivering technical consulting, and managing client relationships.

• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and governmental requests; to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal demands; and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
• Business Operations: To facilitate mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, or other business transactions involving the Company, including due diligence processes and post-transaction integration.

We will not use your personal information for any purpose that is materially different from those described in this policy without providing you with prior notice and, where required by law, obtaining your consent.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

Zastrow Auto Group, LLC does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the limited circumstances described below, and we require all third-party recipients to maintain appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party vendors, contractors, and service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, data storage and backup, cloud computing infrastructure, email delivery, payment processing, analytics, customer support, and IT services. These providers have access to personal information only as necessary to perform their designated functions and are contractually obligated to protect the data and use it solely for the purposes we specify.

Business Transfers: If Zastrow Auto Group, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, reorganization, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you via the Site or by email of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information, and your choices regarding the handling of that information.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or the public; to detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or to enforce our Terms of Service and other agreements.

With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when you have given us explicit consent to do so, such as when you authorize us to share project details with a technology partner or subcontractor as part of a service engagement.

Aggregated or De-Identified Data: We may share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data that does not reasonably identify an individual with partners, researchers, or the public for purposes such as industry analysis, marketing, or demonstrating our capabilities. Such data is not considered personal information under this policy.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period depends on the nature of the data and the context in which it was collected. Generally, we apply the following retention guidelines:

Client account information and service engagement records are retained for the duration of the business relationship plus an additional period of seven years following the termination of services, consistent with standard business recordkeeping practices and applicable statutes of limitations for contract claims. Communications and correspondence, including emails and contact form submissions, are retained for a period of three years from the date of the last interaction. Technical and usage data that has been aggregated or de-identified may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

When personal information is no longer needed for the purposes described in this policy and there is no legal requirement to retain it, we will securely delete, destroy, or anonymize the data. You may request earlier deletion of your personal information by contacting us as described in the Contact Information section, subject to our need to retain certain information for legitimate business or legal purposes.

7. Data Security

We implement and maintain a comprehensive set of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal information in our possession. These measures are consistent with industry standards for computer systems design firms and are regularly reviewed and updated to address evolving security threats.

Our security practices include the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for data in transit, secure server configurations, firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, regular vulnerability assessments, access controls with least-privilege principles, multi-factor authentication, encrypted data storage at rest, and ongoing security awareness training for all personnel with access to personal information.

We also maintain incident response procedures that enable us to quickly identify, contain, and remediate security incidents. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and relevant regulatory authorities as required by applicable law, providing details about the nature of the breach, the types of information affected, and the steps we are taking to mitigate potential harm.

Despite our efforts, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You also play a role in protecting your information by maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized activity.

8. Your Privacy Rights

9. Privacy for Children

The Site is not directed toward or intended for use by individuals under the age of sixteen. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from anyone under the age of sixteen, and we do not offer services designed for or marketed to children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under sixteen without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records and terminate any associated accounts.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us without your authorization, please contact us immediately using the details in the Contact Information section.

10. International Data Transfers

Zastrow Auto Group, LLC is headquartered in the United States, and our data processing activities primarily occur within the United States. If you access the Site or use our services from outside the United States, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. The data protection laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those of your country of residence and may not offer the same level of protection.

By using the Site or providing personal information to us, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your information to the United States and other jurisdictions as described in this policy. We take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that any international transfer of personal information complies with applicable legal requirements, including the use of standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other recognized transfer mechanisms where required.

You may request additional information about these safeguards by contacting us as described in the Contact Information section.

13. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers and devices offer a Do Not Track (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites indicating the users preference not to be tracked.

However, we provide you with choices regarding the collection and use of your information as described throughout this Privacy Policy, including the ability to manage cookie preferences through your browser settings and to exercise your privacy rights as outlined in the Your Privacy Rights section. We will continue to monitor developments in DNT standards and may update our practices in response to evolving industry norms and legal requirements.
