Privacy Policy of EZ Ride Auto Sales
PRIVACY POLICY
EZ Ride Auto Sales & Service LLC
Last Updated: September 2, 2026
EZ Ride Auto Sales & Service LLC (“EZ Ride,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit our website, contact us, inquire about a vehicle or service, apply for in-house financing, request a test drive, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with EZ Ride.
Our website is operated using Dealer Car Search and may use Dealer Car Search, LeadVenture, and other service providers to host, maintain, analyze, secure, and support website functions.

Depending on how you interact with EZ Ride, we may collect:
Contact and identification information

Mailing or residential address

Driver’s license or state identification information
A copy of a driver’s license when required for a test drive
Other information you voluntarily provide
Vehicle and transaction information

In-House Buy Here Pay Here Financing Information
EZ Ride offers its own in-house Buy Here Pay Here financing. If you apply for in-house financing, we may collect information necessary to evaluate your application, including:
Name and contact information
Social Security number
Date of birth
Residential history
Employment and employment history
Employer contact information
Income and other sources of income
Housing expenses
Debts, loans, credit-card obligations, and other financial obligations
Personal references and their contact information
Co-applicant information when applicable
Down-payment information
Other information provided on the financing application
EZ Ride's in-house Buy Here Pay Here program does not require a credit check. Information provided on an application may nevertheless be verified to determine whether the applicant meets EZ Ride's in-house financing requirements.
EZ Ride does not arrange outside financing. A customer may independently obtain financing from a bank, credit union, or other lender and use those funds to pay EZ Ride in full. Any information a customer provides directly to an independent lender is governed by that lender's privacy practices, not this Privacy Policy.
The existing policy already recognizes collection of identifiers, employment information, financial information and similar transaction information.

Payment processors when payment processing services are used
Professional advisers such as accountants, attorneys, insurers, and compliance providers
Vendors providing legitimate services on our behalf

A successor business in connection with a lawful sale, merger, restructuring, or transfer of business assets
Other parties when you specifically authorize the disclosure
Service providers are permitted to use information only as necessary to provide the applicable services or as otherwise permitted by law.
The existing policy similarly states that customer lists are not sold, rented or leased and identifies service providers, business partners and other authorized providers as potential recipients.
Text Messages and Telephone Communications
If you voluntarily provide your mobile telephone number and consent to text communications, EZ Ride or its authorized service provider may send communications relating to your inquiry, vehicle purchase, financing account, service request, appointment, customer service matter, or marketing where permitted.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to opt out of text messages. Reply HELP for assistance.
Mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties for their independent marketing or promotional purposes. Information may be provided to service providers that assist EZ Ride in delivering communications.
The existing policy already contains SMS consent, STOP/HELP instructions and restrictions on sharing mobile information for marketing. Current FCC rules also recognize common opt-out words such as STOP, QUIT, END, REVOKE, OPT OUT, CANCEL and UNSUBSCRIBE as reasonable methods of revoking consent to covered automated texts.
In-House Financing Records
Information collected for an in-house financing application may be used to evaluate the application, establish an account, administer payments, communicate with the customer, maintain required records, verify information supplied by the applicant, prevent fraud, and exercise or protect EZ Ride's legal rights.
Submission of a financing application does not guarantee approval, a particular down payment, payment amount, financing term, or vehicle.
Test Drives
A valid driver's license is required for test drives. EZ Ride may retain a copy of the driver's license or information from it for identification, safety, insurance, dealership recordkeeping, and other legitimate business purposes.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or method of storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
The existing policy states that sensitive transmissions are protected and that systems containing personal information are maintained in secured environments.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and as necessary to comply with legal, accounting, tax, dealership, financing, warranty, transaction, record-retention, dispute-resolution, or other legitimate business requirements.
The current policy uses the same purpose-based retention standard.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites, social-media platforms, payment services, vehicle-history services, mapping services, or other third parties.
EZ Ride is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. Customers should review the privacy policies of those services before providing personal information.
Children's Privacy
Our website and dealership services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children in violation of applicable law.

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the ability to:
Ask whether we process personal information about you

Request deletion where legally permitted
Obtain a copy of certain information
Opt out of certain targeted advertising or data-sharing practices where applicable
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

Appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request when required by applicable law
Virginia's Consumer Data Protection Act contains rights involving access, correction, deletion, data portability and certain opt-outs for consumers and businesses subject to the Act.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to provide rights beyond those required by applicable law, but EZ Ride will make reasonable efforts to address legitimate privacy requests.
Marketing Opt-Out
You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link contained in the message.
You may opt out of applicable text marketing by replying STOP.
Where the Dealer Car Search website provides a Your Privacy Choices or similar privacy-control link, you may also use that feature to manage applicable advertising or privacy preferences.
The existing website policy already provides for unsubscribe mechanisms and the website's “Your Privacy Choices” feature.
California and Other State Privacy Rights
Residents of California and other states with applicable consumer privacy laws may have additional rights regarding access, correction, deletion, disclosure, portability, targeted advertising, sale or sharing of personal information, and sensitive personal information.
Where such laws apply to EZ Ride or its website providers, requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Dealer Car Search / LeadVenture Privacy Requests
Certain website information is processed through Dealer Car Search and/or LeadVenture. Privacy requests relating specifically to information processed by those services may also be submitted using the privacy contact methods provided through the website's privacy tools or LeadVenture.
