It also applies to information about you and your vehicle we obtain from GM affiliates, GM dealers, GM licensees for consumer merchandise, GM credit card bank partners, and other sources such as those that provide lists of potential vehicle purchasers, current owners, or potential cardholders. We have also included answers to frequently asked questions about features of GM vehicles that record and transmit data regarding vehicle functions.

Information Collection

GM may obtain information about you and your vehicle in a number of ways: For example, our websites, Business Reply Cards, sweepstakes entries, test-drive incentive applications, surveys, vehicle sales records, and other public sources. While you may use GM's websites to learn about our products and services without disclosing any information about you or your vehicle, we may ask you to provide us with personal information including:

    *contact information (name, address, city, state and ZIP code, e-mail address, and telephone number)

    *vehicle information (vehicle identification number (VIN), make, model, model year, selling dealer, date of purchase or lease, etc.)

    *demographic information (age range, marital status, household composition, etc.)

    *non-credit-related marketing profile information (when you plan to purchase or lease; the vehicle in which you're interested, etc.)

    *relationships you have with GM not related to your vehicle (i.e., GM Card or OnStar)

Business Reply Cards and sweepstakes entries you complete at an event or in response to a marketing mailing we send may also ask you to answer some of these same questions so we can tailor what we send to you to your specific interests.

In limited circumstances, you may be asked to provide GM with your social security number. For example, if you win a sweepstakes or receive compensation from GM, GM is required to include your social security number on government tax forms. GM maintains technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality of your social security number, and to prohibit the unlawful disclosure of and restrict access to this information.

In addition, our GM affiliates, GM dealers, GM merchandise licensees, and other sources such as those that provide lists of potential vehicle purchasers or current owners may give the information they have regarding you or your vehicle to us so that we may serve your needs better.

Uses

Information about you or your vehicle may be used to respond to your requests for product brochures, to customize and improve communication content, or for marketing or product research. It may also be used to provide you with helpful offers and information on GM products and services.

We may share information about you and your vehicle within GM, with our affiliates, and with our dealers. GM may also share personal information collected with our suppliers for the exclusive purpose of providing services for us (for example, mailing information in response to your request for a vehicle brochure or conducting a research survey) and with our business partners to conduct joint marketing programs with GM. It may also be shared in connection with the sale, transfer or financing of a significant part of a GM business. Information regarding your GM Card will not be shared with GM dealers.

GM will not share information about you or your vehicle with other third parties for their independent use without your permission.

You may choose to forward information from one of our websites or e-mails to another person. E-mail addresses submitted to our E-card or other Forward to a Friend program will not be captured for later use in marketing unless that person consents.

We may disclose information about you or your vehicle as required by law, in conjunction with a government inquiry, or in litigation or dispute resolution.

III. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are "GM affiliates"?
A: As used in this privacy statement, GM affiliates are companies that are owned or controlled by GM, or those companies in which GM has a substantial ownership interest (for example, OnStar).

Q2: What is an example of a supplier that provides services to GM?
A: Suppliers are companies that provide services on GM's behalf, such as mailing you a brochure you request.

Q3: What is an example of a GM business partner?
A: By business partners, we mean independent companies that conduct joint marketing programs with GM. An example is Capital One N.A. which issues the GM Card, GM Flexible Earnings Card, and GM Extended Family Card. Another example is SiriusXM.

Q4: What do you mean when you say "independent use" or that you will ask for my permission before sharing my information?
A: By independent use, we mean for purposes unrelated to GM's and GM affiliates' products and services. For example, if you attend a Buick golf event and the co-sponsor of that event would like to receive the information from the registration form you filled out, you will be asked for your permission on the registration form.

Q5: What do dealers do with my personal information?
A: GM dealers may use your personal information to contact you about your interest in GM products and services and to provide you with information about upcoming events and vehicle incentives. For questions about your dealer's specific privacy practices, please contact your dealer directly.

Q6: If I opt out of receiving communications from my dealer, will I still receive communications from GM? How can I opt-out of GM marketing communications?
A: Yes, you may continue to receive communications from us. GM and GM dealers are separate legal entities with their own privacy practices. If you don't want to receive marketing messages from GM regarding our vehicles, you should call 1-866-MYPRIVACY (1-866-697-7482), or visit our Consumer Preference System website at www.gmcontactpreferences.com.

Q7: Will you use my personal information to send me e-mails?
A: Yes, we may. You can access our privacy statement from the gm.com website and opt out of unsolicited marketing e-mails. If you have subscribed to a particular e-mail newsletter or other communication (e.g., My GMLINK Service Reminders, etc.), you should follow the instructions in the e-mail or on their website to unsubscribe. You must contact your dealer separately.

Q8: How do I opt out of receiving unsolicited marketing communications from GM or change my opt-out preferences?
A: If you do not want to receive unsolicited marketing communications from GM or GM business units, please visit our Consumer Preference System website. This will allow you to opt out of telephone and e-mail communications and/or to change previously submitted opt-out preferences. You can also call 1-866-MYPRIVACY (1-866-697-7482) to opt out of direct mail communications, as well as telephone and e-mail communications, and/or to change previously submitted opt-out preferences.

Q9: How long will my opt-out preferences last?
A: Your GM telephone opt-out preferences will expire five (5) years from the date you submit them. Your GM direct mail opt-out preferences will expire two (2) years from the date of your submission. At this time your e-mail opt-out preferences will not expire. You can change or update your opt-out preferences by clicking here.

Q10: How will you obtain my permission to disclose information about me to a third party?
A: An example is information you provide in a BRC (Business Reply Card). We identify the third party on the card and ask for your permission to share that data with them.

Q11: Does my vehicle have a black box to record data?
A: GM vehicles, like other modern motor vehicles, have a number of sophisticated computer systems that monitor and control several aspects of the vehicle's performance. GM vehicles use on-board vehicle computers to monitor emission control components to optimize fuel economy, to monitor conditions for air bag deployment and, if so equipped, to provide anti-lock braking and to help the driver control the vehicle in difficult driving situations. Some information may be stored during regular operations to facilitate repair of detected malfunctions; other information is stored only in a crash event by computer systems, such as those commonly called event data recorders (EDR).

Q12: Does my vehicle have an RFID feature that transmits my personal data?
A: No, many GM vehicles contain sensing and transmitting devices using the same type of radio frequency transmission technology used in RFIDs that can contain personal information. These devices are used to perform functions such as checking tire pressure. The devices do not store or transmit personal data.
