Nissan
North America collects information from our users at
several different points on our Web site. Nissan North
America is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site (except that our subsidiary Nissan Motor
Acceptance Corporation owns information collected from
credit pre-approval applications). We will not sell or
rent this information to others. We will only share this
information with our affiliates and dealers, and
marketing partners contracted to do business on our
behalf (e.g., brochure fulfillment).
Nissan North America 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
unsubscribe@NissanDriven.com,
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
privacy@NissanDriven.com
or by contacting Nissan Consumer Affairs as outlined
below.
Security
Nissan takes all reasonable precautions to protect our
users' information, both while the information is being
transmitted and after it is received by us.
When our credit pre-approval form asks users to enter
sensitive information (such as social security number),
that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL
128-bit encryption software, an industry standard for
reputable organizations. While on a secure page, such as
our credit pre-approval application form, the lock icon
on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as
opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just
"surfing." For more information on the Nissan Motor
Acceptance Corporation (NMAC) privacy notice, see "NMAC
Privacy Policy" below.
Furthermore, once the information has been received by
us, we use security procedures and policies commensurate
with industry standards to safeguard against loss,
theft, unauthorized access, destruction, use,
modification and disclosure. If you have any questions
about the security of our Web site, you can send an
e-mail to
privacy@NissanDriven.com
.
Notification of Changes
We retain the right to change this privacy policy at any
time. We will post those changes to this page so that
users are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose
it. We will use, share, and disclose all information in
accordance with the privacy policy in effect at the time
the information was collected.
Certain Disclosures
Nissan may disclose any data, whether personally
identifiable or not, to any person performing audit,
legal, operational or other similar services for Nissan.
Whenever possible, we will require any recipient of
personal information for these purposes to agree in
writing to hold the information in confidence, to use
the information only for the permitted purpose, and to
return or destroy the information when the services are
completed.
We may also disclose any data, whether personally
identifiable or not, when required to do so by subpoena,
court order, or warrant. Whenever feasible, Nissan will
notify the effected user by e-mail that such disclosure
will or has occurred.
We may also disclose any data, whether personally
identifiable or not, when we reasonably deem it
necessary to protect the safety of (i) an individual,
(ii) the public, or (iii) the security and reliability
of Nissan and/or this Web site.
Children
Nissan does not knowingly allow anyone under the age of
13 to participate in any services offered on our Web
site which requires the submission of user information.
If we learn that a user is under 13 and has submitted
user information to us, we will delete that information
as promptly as possible.
