Disclosure of Personal Information

Your personal information may be shared with third-party business affiliates that we engage to help us provide services to you.

Protection of Personal Information

We take the protection of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification. Although Auto Clinch takes reasonable precautions, it cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be used, disclosed, or deleted in ways that are not described in this Privacy Policy due to the impossibility of completely eliminating all security risks.

Access and Correction of Personal Information

Individuals have the right to access and correct their personal information that we have collected and stored. We take steps to ensure that the personal information we hold is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. If you would like to update, correct, or request access to your personal information that we hold, please contact us in writing at the address listed at the end of this Privacy Policy. We may need to verify your identity before providing access to your personal information.

Retention of Personal Information

Auto Clinch will keep your personal information only for the duration that is necessary for the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy or as required by law to comply with Auto Clinch’s legal obligations or protect its legal rights. Once we no longer require your personal information, we will securely dispose of it in accordance with our internal policies and procedures.

Linked Sites

The Auto Clinch website may provide links to external websites or resources that may be of interest or convenience to you. However, please note that the presence of these linked sites does not indicate that Auto Clinch monitors or endorses them, as they are independent websites, online services, and businesses. We cannot assume any responsibility for the privacy practices, policies, or actions of third parties that operate these websites. Auto Clinch is not responsible for how such third parties collect, use or disclose your personal information. It's important to note that the products and services offered by these third-party websites are not provided by Auto Clinch, and we have no control over them. You should review the privacy policies and terms of use of these websites before providing them with personal information. If you have any questions, please contact the owner or operator of the website, service, or business.

Consent

By providing us with your personal information, you agree to let Auto Clinch collect, use, disclose, and store that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable law. If you no longer wish to give us this consent, you may withdraw it at any time, as long as there are no legal or contractual restrictions and you give us reasonable notice. However, please note that withdrawing your consent may prevent you from completing your intended interactions or transactions with Auto Clinch or receiving the full benefit of our products and services. You may withdraw your consent or opt-out of receiving communications from us at any time by contacting our Privacy Officer (their contact information is at the bottom of this Privacy Policy).

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly.
