versions of the Site that IAAC co-brands with
its affiliates and other distribution partners
(collectively, "Affiliates"). For example, you
may have arrived at a co-branded version of the
Site from an Affiliate's website, in which case,
that Affiliate will be clearly identified at the
top of the home page of this Site. In this
Statement IAAC refers to those versions of the
Site as "Affiliate Versions." Please be aware
that an Affiliate Version is customized by IAAC
for the Affiliate, with whom IAAC may share any
information you submit through this Site, as
described below. Please note, during any of your
visits to any Affiliate Version, the Affiliate
may independently collect other information from
you.
This Statement does not describe IAAC’s
collection, use and disclosure of information
through means other than this Site (e.g.,
off-line) or the collection, use and disclosure
practices of any Affiliate or other third party.
For information on the privacy policy applicable
to an Affiliate's information collection, use
and disclosure practices, please review the
privacy policy on the applicable Affiliate's
website. Also, please note that this Site
contains links to other websites. IAAC and its
Affiliates are not responsible for the websites,

have read this Statement and agree that you are
subject to the IAAC Terms of Use Visitor’s
Agreement.
Collection of Personally Identifiable

You are not required to provide any personally
identifiable information to visit the Site. IAAC
automatically collects Usage Data (as described
below) and may collect ZIP codes and other
information in connection with your use of the
Site (e.g., the type of incentive you are
looking for). IAAC collects personally
identifiable information only when you choose to
provide it. Please note, the Site may require
you to provide personally identifiable
information to use certain services on the Site,
including, but not limited to, the “Request a
Quote,” “Visit a Dealers Site,” and “Dealer
information” (i.e. Company Name, Address, Phone
number, etc.) such identifiable information
commonly used for the consumers needs.
Additionally, you may voluntarily decide to
submit personally identifiable information

participating in online surveys, promotions,
contests and sweepstakes; (b) subscribing to
newsletters, editorial content, or promotional
content sent via email, (c) using the Site's
"Feedback" and "More Information" forms; and (d)
in connection with other products, services,
features, or requests made available through the
Site. The types of personally identifiable
information that you provide will depend on the
nature of the submission, but could include your
name, address, phone number, and email address.
You may be required to share your name, phone
number and email address with IAAC in order to
allow IAAC to process and maintain your dealer
administrative settings and uploads.
When you are asked for information while on a
IAAC site, you are sharing that information with
IAAC, its subsidiary, as well as its various
affiliates and sister companies, unless
specifically stated otherwise. As a result of
this sharing, you may receive communications
from any of IAAC's affiliates. In addition, some
services are provided in conjunction with
partner companies. If your personal information
is being collected by another company other than
IAAC, you will be notified at the time the
information is collected. If you do not want
your information shared, you can choose not to
allow the transfer of information by not using
that particular service or by not providing any
information at that time.
Please be aware that IAAC cannot control the
activities of third parties to whom we provide
data, and as such we cannot guarantee that they
adhere to the same privacy and security
procedures as IAAC.
Please be aware that advertisers or websites
with links to our site(s) may collect personal
information about you. And remember, this
Privacy Policy does not apply to, and cannot
control the activities of, those other
advertisers or websites.
Passive Information Collection
The Site automatically collects information and
may also customize your visit through technical
means, including the following:
Cookies: Cookies are small text
files that are placed on your computer's hard
drive by computers (or servers) to identify your
computer. Cookies allow IAAC to recognize you
when you visit the Site, to personalize your
experience and generally to serve you better.
For example, if you enter your name, address or
ZIP code on one of the Site's forms, it may be
stored in a cookie so you do not have to enter
it again on other forms on the Site. Cookies and
web beacons can tell us what advertising you
have seen on the Site, which allows IAAC to
offer you a more diverse selection of
advertising information and may also be used
together to measure the effectiveness of IAAC
advertising campaigns. Cookies, web beacons and
IP addresses are also used to compile data
regarding Site usage (what website you came
from, what pages of the Site you visit, how long
you were on the Site, what type of browser you
are using, what website did you go to, etc.).
Web beacons may also be included in emails sent
by IAAC to determine when and if such emails are
opened or forwarded. You can disable cookies or
otherwise manage them through tools provided
with your browser software and with third-party
software packages. If you turn off cookies, many
of the Site's features will not work as well or
at all. Anonymous information regarding Site
usage that is collected and/or aggregated by
IAAC through the use of such technical means or
otherwise is referred to in this Statement as
"Usage Data."
Web Beacons: Web beacons (also
known as pixel tags, Internet tags, clear GIFs,
or single-pixel GIFs) are electronic images
embedded into a webpage.
IP Address Logs: An Internet
protocol ("IP") address is the unique number
assigned to your server or Internet Service
Provider ("ISP"). IAAC may track such IP
addresses for system administration, to report
aggregate information, site tracking, security
purposes, or to prevent our servers from being
abused.
Information Use
Personally Identifiable Information. Personally
identifiable information that you submit on the
Site may be stored on IAAC servers or in a
cookie on your computer and may be used by IAAC
for any of the following purposes:
1. To confirm or fulfill a request that you make
(e.g., in order to send you a price quote or
other information you have requested, IAAC may
share your contact information with a
participating IAAC dealer and/or manufacturer).
2. To follow up on any request that you have
previously made (e.g., IAAC may contact you to
determine whether the dealer or manufacturer
responded to your original request).
3. To communicate with you regarding the IAAC
service (e.g., IAAC may send you emails to
confirm a price quote request or to notify you
that you have received a lead regarding a
vehicle you have advertised or to request that
you participate in a survey).
4. To send promotional materials, newsletters,
or other content via email or otherwise, but
only if you have indicated that you wish to
receive such materials (e.g., IAAC will send you
auto show newsletters and information regarding
how to sell your car on AutoIncentives.com if
you have indicated that you wish to receive such
newsletters and information).
5. To permit Affiliates or other third parties
to whom IAAC may disclose personally
identifiable information in accordance with this
Statement (including its partners or
advertisers) to send you promotional or
informational messages, but only if you have
first affirmatively agreed to receive such
messages.
6. To improve your user experience.
7. For Site administration, analysis, research,
development, optimization and other internal
purposes and to compile aggregate and anonymous
information.
Usage Data
Usage Data is used by IAAC for administrative,
analytical, research, optimization and other
purposes. For example, IAAC may use statistical
analyses of Usage Data in order to measure
interest in the various areas of the Site, for
development purposes and to inform advertisers
and partners in aggregate and anonymous terms
about consumers who click on their advertising
or other messages. IP Addresses are also used
for systems administration and troubleshooting
purposes.
With respect to promotional materials and
newsletters that IAAC may send from time to
time, IAAC will not continue to send you such
communications if you ask us not to, as
described below in the Section entitled
"Accessing, Changing or Deactivating Information
Collected by IAAC." However, please note that by
submitting your personally identifiable
information via the Site, you agree that IAAC
may send to you and you cannot opt out of,
communications of a transactional or
relationship nature, including, but not limited
to, communications regarding fraudulent or
illegal activity, the status of your Account,
changes to this Statement or the IAAC Terms of
Service, as well as communications to confirm,
fulfill and follow up on your Account
registration or a request submitted through the
Site.
Information Sharing
IAAC may share personally identifiable
information that you provide with third parties
in the following cases:
Affiliates. IAAC may share your
personally identifiable information with
Affiliates on the condition that the Affiliates'
disclosure and use of the information is
consistent with this Statement.
Site Requests. If you request
information or services from a third party
through the Site, you agree that IAAC may share
your personally identifiable information as may
be necessary for third parties to provide such
information to or perform such services for you.
For example, if you request a vehicle price
quote from a dealership through the Site, IAAC
will not share the information you entered with
any other dealership (or its designee) and any
other parties on that listing (e.g., if an
automobile manufacturer provides the listing to
us on behalf of the dealership). Similarly, if
through the Site you request additional
information from a financial institution, IAAC
will share your information with that
institution. Personally identifiable information
also may be included in reports to these third
parties, but only when you have already
submitted the information to the third party as
described above. After the information is
provided to such third parties, IAAC does not
control their subsequent use or disclosure of
information.
Sweepstakes/Promotions. In the
event that you participate in a sweepstakes,
contest, or other promotion on the Site that is
sponsored by IAAC and a third party, IAAC
reserves the right to share personally
identifiable information collected in
conjunction with the sweepstakes, contest or
promotion with the third party. After the
information is provided to such third parties,
IAAC does not control their subsequent use or
disclosure of information.
Direct Marketing. Except as
provided herein, it is IAAC's policy not to
disclose personally identifiable information of
our customers to third parties for the third
parties' direct marketing purposes. If you are
18 years of age or older and have affirmatively
agreed to receive third party direct marketing
materials, IAAC may share personally
identifiable information with third parties for
direct marketing purposes. Although IAAC will
notify all third-party direct marketers that the
information provided to them is confidential,
IAAC does not control their subsequent use or
disclosure of information.
Service Providers. IAAC may
work with third parties that provide analytical,
development, research and other services on its
behalf. For example, IAAC may ask that a third
party conduct an online survey or sweepstakes or
send newsletters on its behalf. In such cases,
IAAC asks that the third party maintain your
personally identifiable information as
confidential and use the information only to
perform the services specified by IAAC.
Email List Opt-Outs. In the
event IAAC sends promotional e-mails to you on
behalf of third-party advertisers and you inform
IAAC you wish to opt out of future promotional
e-mails from a particular third party, IAAC will
share your email address with that third party
so the third party may add you to its opt-out
lists.
Other. IAAC expressly reserves
the right to release any personally identifiable
information or other information you provide to
third parties under the following circumstances:
(a) when required by law or legal process, (b)
to investigate and/or take action against
illegal activity, suspected abuse, or
unauthorized use of the Site, (c) to protect the
property or safety of our users or others, (d)
to enforce our Terms of Service and (e) in
connection with any sale or other transfer of
ownership of all or a part of IAAC. Please note
that the messages that IAAC sends to you to
confirm, fulfill, or follow up on a request may
incidentally include promotional material or
other content from IAAC or its partners. In the
case of these messages, IAAC is not sharing your
personally identifiable information with those
third parties. IAAC reserves the right to share
Usage Data with any third party for any reason.
As with any business, your personal information
is also an asset of IAAC and will become part of
our normal business records. As such, we may
also disclose your personal information to a
third party if we decide to sell a line of
business to that third party, so you can
continue to receive service and information in
connection with that line of business with as
little disruption as possible. Similarly, in the
event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization,
bankruptcy, or other similar event, your
personal information may be transferred to IAAC
's successor or assign.
