Personal information is information that is about you, such as name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, purchasing preferences, and financial and demographic data. During Web Site visits you can read product, service and company information without providing any personal information. However, to participate in contests, quizzes or promotions to request brochures, make use of interactive on-line activities, personalized services or online appointments, users may need to provide their personal information on the Web Site. Whenever we request such personal information we will explain how it will be used. If you do not provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to offer you certain services. Any personal information that you provide may also be used by Subaru to contact you regarding other products and services that may be of interest to you. If you do not want to be contacted by us concerning such additional products or services, you can request that we limit our contact with you to the sole purpose for which you provided your personal information.

If you provide personal information in public areas of our Web Site, such as chat rooms or bulletin boards, this information might be seen and used by others. These public areas are not secure, and because information communicated there is not kept confidential you should exercise care as to what you provide because of the potential for its misuse.

To tailor our Web Site to the needs and interests of our visitors, we may keep track of our Web Site pages visited by our users by placing a file called a "cookie" on your hard drive, to learn which Web site areas are important and which need improvement, and to speed up your future activities at our Web Site. Cookies do not reveal your personal information, except for information that you supply yourself such as passwords, purchases and preferences. You may visit the Web Site with your browser set to refuse cookies, but you may not be able to access those areas which require cookies for customization and personalization.

When you provide Subaru with information, it is kept within the "Subaru family" consisting of our dealer and retailer affiliates and suppliers. Subaru may retain other parties to act as our agents to analyze data we collect, and to help us improve our products, services and our Web Site. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal information in any other way. Subaru may offer promotions or contests in conjunction with its "Promotion Partners". These co-promotions will indicate the identity of the Promotion Partner and provide the URL for the privacy policy of the Promotion Partner. In such a case, any personal information collected and used by the Promotion Partner will be subject to its own privacy policy, and Subaru bears no responsibility for any such use.

Subaru may be obligated to release your personal information to the extent that it is required to do so by or pursuant to a search warrant, subpoena, court order or other legal process.
