Effective date: October 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GP Autohaus Inc. (“GP Autohaus,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) may collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit GPAutohaus.com, contact us, or inquire about auto leasing, vehicle purchase brokerage, or financing options. This Policy describes the information practices of our website and services.
1. Information we may collect
Depending on how you use the website or contact us, information may include:
- Identifiers and contact details, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, online identifier, and IP address.
- Vehicle and transaction information, such as vehicles viewed or requested, preferred terms, trade-in details, purchase or lease history, and communications with us.
- Internet or network activity, such as pages visited, referral source, browser or device information, and interactions with website features. Cookies or similar technologies may collect some of this information if enabled.
- Approximate location inferred from an IP address or device settings, if available through website tools.
- Sensitive information only when necessary for a specific transaction and submitted through an appropriate secure channel, such as a driver-license number, Social Security number, account credentials, or financial information. Do not send this information by ordinary email.
We may receive information directly from you, your device, vehicle sellers or lessors, service providers, financing sources, or other parties involved in a transaction. The categories collected depend on the service you request and the tools active on the website.
2. How we use information
We may use personal information to respond to inquiries; identify vehicles or services you request; communicate with you; provide personal guidance and transaction paperwork support; coordinate vehicle purchase or lease inquiries with sellers, lessors, and financing sources; verify identity and prevent fraud; maintain website security; operate and improve the website; comply with legal obligations; and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. We will not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you.
3. How we disclose information
We may disclose information to service providers that support website hosting, communications, security, customer management, analytics, payment processing, or document handling; and to vehicle sellers, dealers, lessors, lenders, insurers, registration providers, or other transaction participants when needed to respond to your request or complete a transaction. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not authorize service providers to use personal information for their own unrelated purposes.
We do not sell personal information for money. If our use of advertising or analytics technologies constitutes “sharing” under California law, we will provide the required opt-out method and honor applicable opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control.
4. California privacy rights
If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (“CCPA”), applies to our business and your information, California residents may have the right to know/access, correct, or request deletion of personal information; to receive information in a portable format; to opt out of sale or sharing; to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right. These rights are subject to identity verification, exceptions, and other limits permitted by law. Some information handled in connection with financial products or services may be subject to separate federal privacy laws or exemptions.
To submit a request, email sales@gpautohaus.com with the subject “California Privacy Request,” call (800) 555-0147, or write to GP Autohaus Inc., Your Street Address, City, State ZIP. Please identify the request you want to make and provide enough information for us to verify it. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity or authority. An authorized agent may submit a request as allowed by law. We aim to respond within the period required by applicable law.
If we engage in sale or sharing covered by California law, use the website’s “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” control, where provided, or contact us using the methods above. We will process recognized Global Privacy Control signals as required by law. If we do not engage in a covered sale or sharing, an opt-out request will not change the ordinary disclosures described above that are necessary to provide a service you requested.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use cookies or similar tools for essential functions, preferences, security, analytics, or advertising. You can adjust browser settings to block some cookies, though portions of the website may not function correctly. If advertising or analytics tools share data for cross-context behavioral advertising, the applicable opt-out control will be available and functional.
6. Retention and security
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining business records, meeting legal requirements, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods depend on the information and the transaction. We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
7. Children and external websites
The website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 16 for a vehicle transaction. The website may link to third-party websites; their privacy policies and practices govern information they collect.
8. Updates and contact
We may update this Policy when our practices or legal requirements change. The revised version will appear on GPAutohaus.com with a new effective date. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to sales@gpautohaus.com, (800) 555-0147, or Your Street Address, City, State ZIP.
