Village Motors ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.
Information we collect
We collect information in three ways:
Information you give us. When you contact us, request a quote, ask about a vehicle, apply for financing, schedule a test drive, or submit a review, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and details about the vehicle you're interested in.
Information about financing applications. If you apply for financing, we may collect additional information needed to process your application, which can include sensitive information such as your date of birth, driver's license number, Social Security number, income, and employment details.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at our site. We collect this using cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies and analytics" below).
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
respond to your questions and requests, and provide quotes and vehicle information; process and follow up on financing applications and purchases; arrange delivery or pickup of a vehicle; send you updates, new arrivals, and offers if you've asked to hear from us (you can unsubscribe at any time); operate, maintain, and improve our website; and comply with the law and protect against fraud or misuse.
How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share it only as needed to run our business, including with:
Financing and lending partners, when you apply for financing; service providers who work on our behalf, such as our website host, email and form providers, and analytics tools; shipping and logistics companies that deliver vehicles; and government, law enforcement, or other parties when required by law or to protect our rights, our customers, or others.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own targeted advertising.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose. You can control cookies through your browser settings; turning them off may affect how parts of the site work.
How we protect your information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take protecting your information seriously.
Your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights — such as the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain sharing. To make a request, contact us using the details below, and we'll respond as required by applicable law.
Financing and credit information
Information collected as part of a financing application may be subject to additional federal and state financial-privacy laws. If those laws apply to us, we will provide a separate financial privacy notice describing how that information is handled.
Children's privacy
Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top of this page.

Comments
Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
Suggested text: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Suggested text: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
