Web Site Collection and Use of Information
Information Collected Through Our Website, Methods of
Collection and How We Use This Information
All information on our site is free to browse at your
leisure without the need for you to provide us with any
personal information. North Shore Kia does collect
"aggregate" information, which is non-personally
identifiable information. This means that we do not track
these items on an individual basis that identifies you, but
rather accumulate this information on an aggregate basis
that includes all site visitors. Non-personal information
includes tracking the site pages visited or the amount of
time spent on our site.
Our primary goal in collecting aggregate information is to
be able to perform site metrics that allow us to improve the
functionality of the web site. We need to collect aggregate
information in order to track page visits, recognize peak
usage times and analyze potential site redesign.
When you visit our web site a server housing the pages
automatically generates a "session log." We use session logs
to help us determine how people travel through our site. In
this way, we can structure our pages so that the information
most frequently visited is easier to find. By tracking page
visits, we can also determine if the information we're
providing is being used. The data generally gathered is the
Internet Protocol (IP) address from which you came (which
contains no personal information), the web site that
referred you, the pages you visited and the date and time of
those visits. This data may be used to compile aggregate and
statistical data to help in web site design, to identify
popular features, to measure site activity, and to perform
analytics on your experience to improve our web site. Site
metrics for North Shore Kia may be shared within our family
of companies, and with service providers and vendors. The
information shared will be aggregate data and will not
include any of your personally identifiable information.
When you view one of our web sites or interactive
advertisements, we may use "cookies" to collect aggregate
data. A "cookie" is a small text file that helps us in many
ways to make your visit to our web site more enjoyable and
meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you having to
log in every time you come back to our web site. They also
allow us to tailor a web site or advertisement to better
match your interests and preferences. There are a couple
different types of cookies. A "session" cookie is stored
only in your computer's working memory (RAM) and only lasts
for your browsing session. When you close all your browser's
windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session
cookie disappears forever. A "persistent" cookie is stored
on your computer's hard drive until a specified date, which
could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now.
Persistent cookies stay on your computer until either a)
they expire, b) they are overwritten with newer cookies, c)
you manually remove them.
Most browsers can be configured not to accept cookies,
however, this may prevent you from having access to some
site functions or features.
Collection of Personal Information
We do not collect any personal information about you such as
your name, address, vehicle, telephone number, email address
when you visit our site unless you provide it to us
voluntarily. If you opt not to provide us with personal
information, you can still access our web site; however you
may be unable to access some site functions or features such
as booking a service appointment online, requesting a quote
online or receiving product information.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you
when you visit our web site is to provide you the
functionality and services that you need to have a
meaningful and customized experience while using the site
features. We also collect personal information in order to
fulfill your request(s) for services and products. For
instance, when you indicate the wish to have us contact you,
personal information such as name, mailing address, email
address, type of request and possibly additional
information, is collected and is used to fulfill the
request. In some of your requests, an email notification may
be generated to inform you of receipt of the request. This
is the case when you choose email as the method of
communication for fulfilling the request.
