Garrands Nissan collects information from
our users at several different points on our Web site. Garrands
Nissan is the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
We will not sell or rent this information to others. We will only
share this information with our affiliates, and marketing partners
contracted to do business on our behalf (e.g., brochure
fulfillment).
Garrands Nissan uses two types of user information: anonymous
information gathered from cookies and log files, and personal
information you provide us for certain services. See below for
definitions of each of these methods.
Anonymous Information - Cookies and Log Files
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no
way linked to personal information, until a user provides that
information (see below). If a user rejects or deletes the cookie,
he/she may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the
user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the
user will not be able to receive notification of special offers, or
participate in any contests that may take place. Cookies also enable
us to track and aggregate clickstream behavior data. By doing this
we can better target the interests of our users and enhance their
experience on our site.
Nissan also maintains standard web logs that record data about all
visitors to this Web site. These logs may contain:
• The Internet domain from which you
access this site.
• Your IP address (Your computer is
automatically assigned an IP address when you surf the Internet.
Your IP address is either static or dynamic. A static IP address may
be identifiable to you; a dynamic address is usually not
identifiable to you).
• The type of browser and operating system
you use.
• The date and time you visited this site.
• The pages you viewed on this site.
• The address of the Web site from which
you linked.
Nissan uses web log and clickstream information to help us design
our site, to identify popular site features and to make the site
more useful for visitors. Web logs are recorded in sequential files,
and we normally do not attempt to identify individuals from these
logs. However, we may use web logs to identify persons attempting to
break into, disrupt, or damage our Site. We may share web log
information with law enforcement personnel if we believe evidence
exists, or is likely to occur, of a violation of federal, state or
local laws or regulations. |

Volunteering Personal Information
Users may choose to volunteer personal information (name, e-mail
address, phone number, etc.) in order for us to provide them with
services such as brochure and information requests, surveys and
contests, site announcements, and special offers at the time of the
request or in the future. If you previously gave us your e-mail
address and no longer wish to receive e-mail announcements, you can
have your name removed from our e-mail list by sending an e-mail to garrandsnissansales@charter.net,
calling, or by sending regular mail (see contact information below).
Nissan does not sell or rent user information to any third parties.
We share user information with our affiliates and dealers, and
marketing partners contracted to do business on our behalf (e.g.,
brochure fulfillment). When the user signs up for certain services
and offers on our site, we will share names, or other contact
information necessary for any associate third party to provide these
services. Nissan will share user information in accordance with the
privacy policy in effect at the time the information is collected.
If a user's personal information changes, we will endeavor to
provide a way to correct or update that user's personal data
provided to us. This can be done by e-mailing garrandsnissansales@charter.net
