We use the information you provide about yourself when placing your

not share this information with outside parties except to the extent
necessary to complete your ad or registration. This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have
trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get
in touch with the user.
We further protect your privacy by allowing you to decide how registered buyers
contact you and what information you decide is displayed to them.
We use email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses
are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties,
other than those people wishing to contact you in order to assume your lease
or buy the vehicle you have posted on our site. We further limit access to
individually identifiable information by requiring those people interested in
purchasing a vehicle or obtaining a vehicle lease to pay a processing fee;
thereby, we further ensure through this process that the nature of their contact
with you is serious and related to your vehicle and their desire to assume
your lease or purchase it.

newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving

website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an
advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our
website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our
registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be
used to identify any individual.

also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such
unrelated uses.
