How we use it
We use information to respond to vehicle requests, verify identity and application details, arrange or evaluate vehicle financing or leasing, prevent fraud, maintain records, comply with law, protect our systems, and communicate about a requested transaction.
When we disclose it
For a requested financing or leasing transaction, we may disclose application information to banks, credit unions, finance companies, prospective assignees, consumer-reporting agencies, and service providers that help us process, secure, store, or deliver the transaction.
