Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At New Car Deals we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, process your enquiry, or protect our rights.

Online 365 (Pty) Ltd. ("Online 365") operates several websites and apps including this one. It is Online 365's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites and mobile apps. Whilst the term "website" is used throughout, it applies equally to mobile apps.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Online 365 collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Online 365's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use its website. From time to time, Online 365 may release non-personally-identifying information in aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on usage trends.

Online 365 also collects potentially personally-identifying information like IP addresses. Online 365 only discloses IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Online 365's websites choose to interact with Online 365 in ways that require Online 365 to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Online 365 gathers depends on the nature of the interaction — for example, when you make a vehicle enquiry we need your details in order for you to be contacted. In each case, Online 365 collects such information only insofar as necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the interaction, and does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Online 365 may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites — for instance, monitoring the most popular vehicles. Online 365 may display this information publicly or provide it to others, but does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Online 365 discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Online 365's behalf or to provide services available at or through Online 365's websites (e.g. the dealer your vehicle enquiry is intended for), and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Online 365's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Online 365 will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than as described above, Online 365 discloses such information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Online 365 believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Online 365, third parties or the public at large. If you have supplied your email address to Online 365, we may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or keep you up to date with New Car Deals. Online 365 takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of such information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Online 365 uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of our website, and their website access preferences. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Online 365's websites, with the drawback that certain features of the website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Online 365, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Online 365 goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Online 365 may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time it sends you an online advertisement, to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Online 365 and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Third Party Analytics Tools and Social Widgets

Third party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) or social media buttons for services like Facebook may use cookies for tracking and operational purposes. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Online 365 and does not cover the use of cookies by any third party.

Data Processing

Your personal and other data may be held and processed in countries other than South Africa.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Online 365 may change its privacy policy from time to time, in Online 365's sole discretion. Online 365 encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this privacy policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
