Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. We believe that a full disclosure of our privacy policy is essential to our success and to your ongoing patronage. To make this Privacy Policy easy to find, we make it available on our home page and on every page where personally identifiable information may be voluntarily supplied or requested.
This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected or submitted on ClassicCars.com (the "Site") or The ClassicCars.com Blog (the "Journal"). We may refer to both websites collectively as "sites" or "web properties" throughout our Privacy Policy.
The Collector Car Network, LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on the Site and the Blog. We collect personally identifiable information from our users at several different points for both web properties.
In order to use certain features of the Site or the Blog, such as posting a comment or subscribing to email updates, you must complete a form in which you provide us with your contact information (such as your name and email address). We use this information to contact you about the services in which you have expressed interest.
We may give you the option of providing basic demographic information such as income, gender, and education to us. We strongly encourage you to share this information with us so we can provide our community with a better, more useful experience on the Site and the Blog. Providing any such demographic information is entirely voluntary and is identified as such at the time of data collection.
From time to time we may offer you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on the Site or the Blog. If you participate, we may request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and address) and demographic information (such as your age and postal code).
We use this information to gather feedback about our sites' features, notify contest winners, and/or to send participants an email newsletter.
We may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; any such company will be prohibited from using our users' personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice.
In an effort to foster community and conversation, we provide convenient links to major social networks throughout our sites. Each social network has its own privacy policy, which may differ significantly from ours. Your use of any social network is subject to its privacy policy.
If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about the Site or the Blog, or post on the Blog, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address. We will send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to view a vehicle listing or visit the Blog. We store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and for tracking the success of our referral programs.
Your friend may contact us using our feedback page to request that we remove this information from our database.
If you disclose your email address to us, we will occasionally send you information on new Blog features, services, special deals, and promotions. Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not to receive these types of communications. Please see "Choice and Opt-Out" below for more information.
If you wish to subscribe to our email newsletters, we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe with each newsletter we send.
Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we may send you a welcoming email and/or a confirmation email to verify your username and password. We will also communicate with you in response to your inquiries, to provide specific services you request, and to manage any other feature or service under which you are identified by your email address. We will communicate with you by email and/or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.
We may store information that we collect through cookies, server log files, tracking images, and third party sources to create a profile of your preferences. We may tie your personally identifiable information to information in the profile in order to provide you with tailored promotions and marketing offers and to improve the content of the Blog for you.
When you use our website, we share information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our identity partners/service providers, including LiveRamp Inc. LiveRamp returns an online identification code that we may store in our first-party cookie for our use in online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. To opt out of this use, please click here.
We share aggregated demographic information about our visitors with our partners, affiliates, and advertisers. This information does not identify individual users; rather, it provides our partners, affiliates, and advertisers with a description of our user base as a whole. Partners may include third parties with whom we have or may have a business relationship, such as sponsors.
We share personally identifiable information with select third parties:
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us.
We provide you with the opportunity to opt out of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes when we ask for this information. For example, if you register for an account with us but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our registration form.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication. Any such opt-out instructions may take up to ten (10) working days to process, during which time you may continue to receive newsletters and promotional communications.
You will be notified when your personal information is collected by any third party that is not our agent or service provider, so you can make an informed choice as to whether or not to share your information with that party.
As is typical of professionally managed websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data for each visitor to the Site or the Blog.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Site and the Blog, to track visitors' movements around our web properties, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Generally, we do not link this automatically collected data to personally identifiable information. IP addresses are, however, tied to personally identifiable information in conjunction with certain features such as comments in order to help protect our community from spam.
We use third-party tracking services that use cookies and tracking images called beacons to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors in the aggregate. We use this information to supplement the information we gather from analyzing our log files.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. We do not store any personally identifiable information in cookies, but we may link the information we store in cookies to personally identifiable information when required for technical reasons, such as in keeping track of your comments.
We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our web properties. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's documentation. More information about cookies can be found on Wikipedia.
We set a persistent cookie to help keep track of visits our users make to our web properties. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our sites. If you reject cookies, you may still use our sites, but your ability to use some features may be limited.
This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by The Collector Car Network, LLC only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers or other third parties. Some of our business partners (for example, advertisers) use cookies on our sites. We have no access to or control over these cookies. Please see "Third-Party Advertisers" for more information.
We and/or our third-party partners employ a software technology called tracking graphics (a.k.a. "Web beacons" or "Web bugs") that help us better manage content on our sites by informing us what content is effective. Tracking graphics are tiny, transparent images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, tracking graphics are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. As with cookies, we may tie the information gathered by tracking graphics to our users' personally identifiable information.
We use tracking graphics in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt out of these emails, you may do so by following the instructions included in every such communication.
Some of the ads appearing on our websites are delivered to users by one or more advertising partners. We may share aggregate website usage information about users with reputable third parties for the purpose of targeting our Internet banner advertisements on our websites. Additionally, these companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Third party advertisers may use cookies and/or tracking graphics, allowing them to recognize a user when a user visits the website. The information that such companies collect and share through this technology is not personally identifiable, nor is it under our control. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies for interest-based advertising, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

This privacy Policy applies only to information collected by The Collector Car Network, LLC. Our web properties may contain links to other websites that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website that you access using a link on one of our sites.
Portions of the Site or the Blog may include content or information provided by reputable third parties that is presented to you via HTML frames. These frames divide your Internet browser's screen into separate areas for purposes of facilitating navigation or for displaying content or advertisements. If you submit any information on such pages, your information is made available to that third party for purposes of providing you with the information or service you request. In such instances, it may not be obvious whether we or the third party are collecting your information. We will identify any pages on our sites that involve the framing of third-party websites. Generally, no personally identifiable information is shared on such pages. You may choose to not provide any information to the third party by navigating away from such areas of our sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information collected on those sites.
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on one of our sites, we encrypt that information using secure sockets layer technology (SSL). To learn more about SSL, read this Wikipedia entry.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially viable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about the security on our sites, you may submit questions via our feedback page.
In the event The Collector Car Network, LLC goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our sites for thirty (30) days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this page and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us and mention our privacy policy in your inquiry.
Last updated: April 3, 2014This privacy notice to the consumer is an addendum to the information contained in the Privacy Statement of Collector Car Network, LLC (collectively, "we," "us," or "our") and applies to visitors, users, and others who reside in the United States. We adopt this Privacy Notice to adhere to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and Nevada Senate Bill 220 (an Act relating to Internet privacy) and other California and other state privacy laws (all such laws are collectively referred to for purposes of this Privacy Notice as the "CCPA").

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
