This website (the "Site") is operated by Ispotdeals.com, a division of Akamai Enterprises Inc. ("Ispotdeals.com"). This Privacy Statement (the "Statement") describes Ispotdeals.com's collection, use and disclosure of information practices in connection with the Site. This Statement applies to the national version of the Site, located at Ispotdeals.com, as well as to any versions of the Site that Ispotdeals.com operates, including versions or pages that Ispotdeals.com co-brands or private labels with its newspaper and broadcast affiliates, third-party distribution partners and other partners (collectively, "Affiliates"). For example, you may have arrived at a co-branded version of the Site from an Affiliate's website, in which case, that Affiliate will be clearly identified at the top of the home page of this Site. In this Statement, Ispotdeals.com refers to those versions of the Site as "Affiliate Versions." Please be aware that Ispotdeals.com may share any information you submit through this Site with Affiliates, as described below. During your visit to any Affiliate Version, the Affiliate may independently collect other information from you.

For purposes of clarification, this Statement also describes Ispotdeals.com's collection, use, and disclosure practices with respect to any personally identifiable information and Usage Data (as defined below) that is provided to Ispotdeals.com by any of its third-party distribution partners that display Ispotdeals.com vehicle listings, such as Yahoo!.

This Statement does not describe Ispotdeals.com's collection, use and disclosure of information through means other than this Site (e.g., off-line) or the collection, use and disclosure practices of any Affiliate, third-party distribution partners or other third parties. For information on a third party's information collection, use and disclosure practices, please review the privacy policy on the applicable third party's website. Also, please note that this Site contains links to other websites. Ispotdeals.com is not responsible for the websites, content or privacy practices of any third party. By using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read this Statement and agree that you are subject to the Cars.com Terms of Service.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

You are not required to provide any personally identifiable information to visit the Site. Ispotdeals.com automatically collects Usage Data (as described below) and may collect ZIP codes and other information in connection with your use of the Site (e.g., the type of car you are looking for). Ispotdeals.com collects personally identifiable information only when you make it available through your use of the Site. You may be required to provide personally identifiable information to use certain services on this Site, including, but not limited to, the "Email the Dealer/Seller" feature and to purchase and create a "Sell It With Video " online classified listing ("VE Brandings "). In addition, you may submit personally identifiable information through the Site in other ways, including: (a) participating in online surveys, promotions, contests and sweepstakes; (b) subscribing to newsletters, editorial content, or promotional content sent via email, (c) using the Site's "Feedback" and "More Information" forms; and (d) in connection with other products, services, features, or requests made available through the Site.

Any Usage Data and/or personally identifiable information resulting from such calls may be used as described in this Statement. The types of personally identifiable information that you provide will depend on the nature of the submission, but could include your name, address, phone number, email address and credit card information.
