Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

iDeal Auto Sales ("iDeal Auto Sales," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and dealership, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have. By using our website or submitting a form, you agree to this Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you give us directly and information collected automatically:

• Contact information — name, phone number, email address, and mailing address you provide through our test-drive, contact, trade-in, or financing forms, or our AI assistant.
• Financing information — when you submit a financing or pre-qualification request, we collect employment status, income range, housing status, and the vehicle you are interested in. If you continue with a credit application, you or a lending partner may separately collect additional financial information (such as your Social Security number and date of birth) needed to process credit — we do not collect Social Security numbers through this website.
• Vehicle / trade information — details about a vehicle you wish to sell or trade, such as year, make, model, mileage, and condition.
• Automatically collected data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring URLs collected through cookies and similar technologies.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your inquiries and schedule test drives and appointments.
• To process financing pre-qualifications and connect you with credit-union and lending partners.
• To appraise and make offers on vehicles you wish to sell or trade.
• To contact you by phone, text message, and email about vehicles, financing, offers, and your requests.
• To operate, secure, analyze, and improve our website and services.
• To comply with legal, regulatory, and recordkeeping obligations.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as needed to serve you and operate our business:

• Lending & financial partners — banks and credit unions to obtain financing on your behalf, consistent with the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) where applicable.
• Service providers — vendors that host our website, manage communications, or provide the AI assistant and customer-relationship tools, bound to protect your information.
• Legal & safety — when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, customers, or the public.

4. Financial Privacy (GLBA)

Non-public personal financial information you provide in connection with a credit application is treated as confidential. We restrict access to those who need it to provide products and services to you, and we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect it. We do not disclose it except as permitted by law or as described in this Policy.

5. Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve performance. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function properly. We honor browser "Do Not Track" signals where required by law.

6. Data Retention & Security

We keep personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described here and to meet legal obligations, then delete or de-identify it. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

7. Your Choices & Rights

• Opt out of marketing texts (reply STOP) or emails (use the unsubscribe link) at any time.
• Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, subject to legal limits.
• Washington residents and residents of other states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.

To exercise any right, contact us using the details below.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for adults. 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.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
