  • Deal Jackets & Finance Docs: Retained for 7 years to comply with tax and finance regulations.
  • Marketing Data: Retained for 24 months unless you opt out.

3. Your California Privacy Rights (Effective 2026)

Under California law, you have the following verified rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to Know (Access): You may request we disclose the specific pieces and categories of PI/SPI we have collected about you (looking back to January 1, 2022).
  • Right to Delete: You may request we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., safety recalls, warranty records, legal hold).
  • Right to Correct: You may request we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: You have the right to direct us to stop "selling" (monetary) or "sharing" (targeted advertising) your PI.
  • Right to Limit Use of SPI: You have the right to direct us to stop using your Sensitive Personal Information (e.g., precise geolocation, SSN) for any purpose other than those necessary to perform the service you requested (e.g., financing a car).
  • Right to No Retaliation: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy rights.

4. Exercising Your Rights (How to Submit a Request)

You may submit a verifiable consumer request to us via:

  1. Toll-Free Phone: (866) 756-1587
  2. Online Portal: Link to Webform
  3. Email: privacy@fahrneygroup.com

Important Verification Distinction (Enforcement Precedent)

  • For Opt-Out or Limit Requests: You do NOT need to provide extensive documentation or verify your identity. Submitting your name and email is sufficient.
  • For Access/Deletion Requests: We may require information such as your name, dealership account number, or VIN to verify your identity before processing.

Authorized Agents: If you use an authorized agent (such as a third-party privacy tool), they must provide your signed permission. We cannot require you to confirm directly with us if the agent is submitting an opt-out request.

5. Cookie Management & Online Tracking

We use cookies for analytics and advertising. Effective January 1, 2026, we strictly adhere to the following:

  • Symmetrical Choice: Our cookie banner gives equal visual prominence to "Accept All" and "Reject Non-Essential." It is not easier to say "Yes" than "No."
  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal (or you use a privacy-focused browser like Brave), we will treat this as a valid opt-out of sale/sharing for that specific browser session.
  • Confirmation: You may see a banner stating "Opt-Out Request Honored" at the top of our site after we detect a GPC signal.

6. Advertising & "Do Not Sell or Share"

We do not sell your data for money. However, we share online identifiers with advertising partners (e.g., Meta, Google, TikTok) to show you vehicle inventory advertisements on other websites. This is defined as "Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising" under the CPRA.

To opt out of this, please:

  1. Click the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our website footer.
  2. Toggle the "Advertising & Targeting" cookies to OFF.

7. Financial Incentives (Loyalty Programs)

We offer Service Discounts and Dealer Discounts/Specials programs. When you sign up, we collect your email address and VIN to send service reminders. You can opt in by checking the appropriate box. You can opt out at any time by clicking "Unsubscribe." The value of your data is reasonably calculated based on the expense associated with offering the discount.

8. Dealership-Specific Compliance (GLBA)

Because we facilitate financing and extend credit, we also comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). We provide you with an Initial Privacy Notice at the time of credit application and an Annual Privacy Notice regarding your non-public personal information (NPI).

9. "Shine the Light" (Cal. Civ. Code ยง 1798.83)

If you are a California resident and have an established business relationship with us, you may request information about our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Please send requests to:
