This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you interact with our Website and business. By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy, subject to any rights or requirements provided by applicable law.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us, submit a Website inquiry, request vehicle information, ask about selling or purchasing a vehicle, schedule or inquire about automotive services, or otherwise communicate with our business.

Depending on your interaction with us, this information may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, vehicle information, service requests, appointment preferences, and the contents of communications you send to us.

If you inquire about purchasing a vehicle or obtaining financing, we may collect information reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or facilitate the transaction. Any financial, credit, identity, employment, income, or other sensitive information required for a financing application will be collected through appropriate processes and handled in accordance with applicable laws and the relevant financing documents.

If you request automotive repair or maintenance services, we may collect information about your vehicle, including its make, model, year, mileage, vehicle identification number, service history provided to us, reported mechanical concerns, and requested repairs.

We may also collect information necessary to process vehicle purchases, sales, trade-ins, repair orders, payments, title transfers, registration matters, and other related transactions.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, certain information may be collected automatically through your browser, device, server logs, cookies, or similar technologies. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, device information, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring website addresses, and general Website usage information.

We may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, and similar technologies to maintain Website functionality, understand visitor activity, improve performance, and evaluate the effectiveness of our Website.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or availability of some Website features.

Information Received from Other Sources

We may receive information from third-party websites, vehicle marketplaces, auction platforms, service providers, business partners, or other sources when you interact with those services in connection with Coral Breeze.

For example, if you contact us through a third-party vehicle listing or social media platform, we may receive the contact details and inquiry information you submit through that platform.

We may also obtain vehicle-related or transaction-related information from appropriate sources when reasonably necessary to verify ownership, confirm vehicle details, complete a transaction, or comply with legal requirements.

Information obtained from third parties will be handled in accordance with applicable law and any relevant contractual or privacy obligations.

How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to respond to inquiries, communicate with prospective and existing customers, provide vehicle information, evaluate vehicle purchase or trade-in requests, coordinate vehicle inspections, schedule repair services, prepare estimates, perform authorized repairs, process transactions, and provide customer support.

We may also use personal information to administer vehicle sales, purchases, financing inquiries, payment arrangements, title and registration processes, warranty matters, and other services requested by customers.

Additional uses may include maintaining business records, verifying information, preventing fraud, protecting the security of our Website and business, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, complying with applicable laws, and responding to lawful requests from governmental authorities.

Where permitted by applicable law, we may use contact information to send information about our services, business updates, promotions, or other offerings. Where consent is required for marketing communications, we will obtain that consent before sending the applicable communications.

Vehicle Sales and Financing Information

Coral Breeze may purchase and sell used vehicles and may offer or arrange buy-here-pay-here financing or other financing options for eligible vehicle purchasers.

When you inquire about financing or begin a vehicle purchase transaction, we may collect or process information necessary to evaluate your inquiry, communicate with you, prepare transaction documents, verify information, administer an approved transaction, and satisfy legal and regulatory requirements.

Depending on the transaction, this information may include identity information, contact details, income or employment information, credit-related information, payment information, and vehicle or transaction records.

Information used in connection with credit applications, financing decisions, retail installment sales contracts, payment collection, or related activities will be handled in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, including applicable consumer credit and financial privacy requirements.

Submitting an inquiry through the Website does not itself constitute a credit application or authorize a credit check. Where a credit report, consumer report, or other regulated information is requested, obtained, or used, we will comply with applicable authorization, disclosure, and permissible-purpose requirements.

Automotive Repair and Maintenance Information

When you request automotive repair, maintenance, inspection, or diagnostic services, we may use the information you provide to evaluate your service request, identify your vehicle, prepare estimates, obtain authorization, perform the requested work, communicate about repairs, maintain service records, process payments, and address warranty or follow-up matters.

We may retain repair orders, estimates, invoices, vehicle information, customer authorizations, and related records as reasonably necessary for business operations, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping obligations.

Where necessary to perform authorized services, we may share relevant information with parts suppliers, service providers, warranty administrators, or other parties involved in completing the requested work, subject to applicable law.

How We Share Personal Information

We do not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration as part of our ordinary Website operations. We may disclose personal information to third parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide requested services, complete transactions, or fulfill legal obligations.

These parties may include Website hosting providers, information technology providers, customer communication platforms, payment processors, professional advisers, accounting providers, vehicle service providers, parts suppliers, warranty administrators, and other vendors performing services on our behalf.

If you pursue a vehicle purchase, sale, trade-in, or financing transaction, we may share relevant information with financial institutions, financing partners, credit reporting agencies, title and registration providers, insurers, or other transaction participants, as permitted or required by applicable law and as necessary to facilitate the transaction.

We may disclose information to governmental authorities, regulators, law enforcement agencies, courts, or other parties when required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights, property, customers, or business.

We may also disclose information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of business assets, or similar corporate transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Third-party service providers are permitted to use personal information provided to them only as authorized by the applicable service arrangement, applicable law, or other lawful basis.

Text Messages and Electronic Communications

If you provide your email address or telephone number, we may use it to respond to your inquiries, coordinate appointments, communicate about vehicle purchases or repairs, provide transaction updates, and deliver other communications reasonably related to your requests or transactions.

If Coral Breeze offers a text messaging program, participation in marketing messages will be subject to the applicable consent requirements and any separate Mobile Terms and Conditions we provide.

Where applicable, message frequency may vary, and message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP where supported. For assistance, reply HELP where supported or contact team@coralbreezautocenter.com.

We do not treat the provision of a telephone number for a general inquiry as blanket consent to receive automated marketing calls or text messages where separate consent is required by law.

Text messaging opt-in data and consent records will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. This restriction does not prohibit disclosures to service providers that support our messaging operations, to the extent necessary to deliver the requested service and subject to appropriate restrictions, or disclosures otherwise required or permitted by applicable law. All other categories of personal information exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; such data will not be shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, and similar technologies to support Website functionality, remember preferences, understand traffic patterns, evaluate performance, and improve the user experience.

These technologies may collect information about your device, browser, interactions with Website pages, and general browsing activity.

We may use third-party analytics or Website technology providers to assist with these activities. Their collection and processing of information may be subject to their own policies and settings.

You can manage certain tracking technologies through your browser settings and, where available, any privacy or cookie preference controls offered on the Website.

Third-Party Websites and Platforms

The Website may contain links to third-party websites and platforms, including social media services, vehicle marketplaces, auction websites, and other external resources.

If you access a third-party website or submit information through a third-party platform, that platform may collect and process your information under its own privacy policy and terms. Coral Breeze does not control the privacy practices, security measures, or content of independently operated third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before providing personal information to third parties.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide requested services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the transaction, applicable recordkeeping requirements, and whether information is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, destroy it, or de-identify it, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or information storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by us.

You should exercise caution when submitting personal information online and avoid sending sensitive financial or identity information through ordinary email or general contact forms unless specifically instructed to use an appropriate secure method.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information we maintain about you. These rights may include requesting access to certain personal information, obtaining a copy of information, requesting correction of inaccurate information, requesting deletion of eligible information, and opting out of certain processing activities where applicable.

Certain information may be exempt from deletion or access requests, including information that we are legally required or permitted to retain, information necessary to complete a transaction, records needed to comply with legal obligations, and information necessary to establish or defend legal claims.

Where applicable law provides a right to appeal a denied privacy request, we will provide information about the available appeal process.

To submit a privacy-related request, please contact us using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity or authority to act on behalf of another individual before processing a request.

We will respond to eligible requests within the time periods required by applicable law.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals

Some browsers offer settings or signals intended to communicate a user's preferences regarding online tracking. Because there is no universally adopted standard for all such signals, our Website may not respond to every browser-based tracking preference.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid opt-out preference signal, including a supported Global Privacy Control signal, we will process that signal in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Children's Privacy

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 in violation of applicable law.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances requiring parental consent or deletion, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.

Florida Privacy Considerations

Coral Breeze operates from Fort Myers, Florida. We handle personal information in accordance with applicable Florida and federal privacy, consumer protection, automotive, and financial laws.

Privacy rights and obligations may vary depending on the nature of the information collected, the type of transaction, and the laws applicable to a particular individual or activity.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any privacy right or protection that applies under mandatory law.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, Website functionality, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Website and update the effective date as appropriate. Any changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how we handle personal information.
