PRIVACY POLICY AND NOTICE AS FINANCIAL COMPANY

FACTS—WHAT DOES DEALERSHIP DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Why? Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

What? The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information can include:

Social Security number and income

Credit history and credit scores

Employment information and checking account information

When you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.

How? All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share their customers’ personal information; the reasons we choose to share; and whether you can limit this sharing.

Reasons we can share your personal information	Does Dealership share?	Can you limit this sharing?
For our everyday business purposes — such as to process your transactions, maintain your account(s), respond to court orders and legal investigations, or report to credit bureaus	Yes	No
For our marketing purposes — to offer our products and services to you	Yes	No
For joint marketing with our financial companies —	Yes	No
For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes– information about your transactions and experiences	Yes	No
For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes– information about your creditworthiness	No	We don’t share
For nonaffiliates to market to you	No	We don’t share

How does Dealership protect my personal information? To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

How does Dealership collect my personal information? We collect your personal information, for example, when you:

• Give us your contact information
• Show your driver’s license
• Apply for a lease or financing
• Provide employment information

We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.

Why can’t I limit all sharing? Federal law gives you the right to limit only sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes (information about your creditworthiness), affiliates from using your information to market to you or sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing.

Definitions

Affiliates: Companies related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies. Our affiliates include financial companies such as Infiniti of Ontario, Metro Nissan of Montclair, Puente Hills Mazda and Fontana Mazda.

Nonaffiliates: Companies not related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies. We do not share with nonaffiliates for them to market to you.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, by using the Services, you and DEALERSHIP agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Services or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Policy or any part of it (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to:

• DEALERSHIP, at the address below or
• You, at the address we have on file for you.

Both you and DEALERSHIP agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available, or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Policy, including any claim that all or any part of this Policy is void or voidable.

CHOICE OF LAW

This Policy has been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles. Any disputes or claims not subject to the arbitration provision discussed above shall be resolved by a court located in the State of California and you agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action.

As COVID-19 continues to affect so much of daily life, we want to assure you that Metro Nissan Redlands is working diligently to minimize any disruptions to our business. We have a solid continuity plan in place, and our retail business and ability to perform our job duties still remains strong. We have a duty to our customers to continue business as usual to the best of our abilities as we navigate this current new reality. We have taken extreme measures to protect the safety of our employees, customers, and future customers from contracting the Corona Virus. We have enacted an in store policy that requires all employees to thoroughly wash and disinfect their hands several times a day. Every hour on the hour we will wipe down and disinfect all our desks, computer equipment, customer lounges, meeting areas, and all other areas of the dealership that our customers have access to. Our dealership is equipped with hand sanitizers throughout the showroom that our customers may use freely. We will for the time being not shake hands with customers or physically touch in any way any customers and patrons of our dealership. We hope that this will help alleviate any concerns that you may have about your safety and ability to visit our dealership.

We will continue to monitor and assess how the situation evolves, and how COVID-19 is impacting our customers, colleagues and communities. If anything arises that we need to share with you, we will.

As always, we appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you soon.
