Our Commitment To Privacy
Your
privacy is important to Boch.com, the Boch dealerships, and any Boch-affiliated
entity mentioned on this site. To better protect your privacy, we provide this
notice explaining our online information practices on Boch.com and the choices
you can make about the way your information is collected and used on Boch.com.
This Privacy Policy is part of the Terms and Conditions of Use of Boch.com.
The Types of Information That We Collect
If
you contact us or provide it to us, we may collect and store information
including, for example, your name, address(es), phone number(s), and e-mail
address(es). We also may collect information concerning your vehicle. In
order to make payments through Boch.com, you must provide credit card or debit
card information. Boch.com does not store your credit card or debit card
information after an on-line merchandise order has been processed, although the
dealership may store such information if given in connection with a vehicle
deposit.
Because
of the way that World Wide Web communication standards work, when you arrive or
leave our site, we automatically receive the Web address of the site that you
came from or are going to. The information we collect also includes, for
example, which pages of our Web site you visit, the type of browser you use,
and the times you access our site.
How We Collect Personal Information
The
information we learn from customers helps us provide you with products and
services, and allows us to personalize and continually improve the Boch.com experience.
The types of information we gather include:
- Information You Give Us: We receive and may store
information you enter on our Web site or provide to us by using our site,
through registration, login, e-mail, or otherwise. You can choose not to
provide certain information, but this may limit your ability to utilize
many of our site’s features. Examples of information we may gather from
you include your name, address, phone number(s), email address(es),
vehicle and credit card or debit card information.
- Automatic Information and Use of Cookies: We receive and store certain
types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like
many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of
information when your Web browser accesses our site, including for example
the name of the internet service provider from which you access the
internet, the internet protocol address of the computer you are using, the
browser software you use and your operating system, the date and time you
access our site, and the internet address of the site from which you
linked directly to our site. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are
transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to
enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features,
personalization and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites
anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a
personalized experience on our site if we cannot recognize you, we want
you to be aware that these tools exist. The Help portion of the toolbar
on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting
new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new
cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you
to take full advantage of some of our site’s important features.
- Information from Other Sources: We may receive information
about you from other sources and store it in our information database,
including from telephone inquiries, e-mail, or store visits.
The Way We Use Personal Information:
We
use the information that you provide us to communicate with you, to customize
and personalize your Boch.com experience, and to process your requests for
products and services. We also use the computer and internet generated
information mentioned above to try to understand our customers’ preferences
better and to manage the load on our servers, so as to improve our service and
your experience with Boch.com.
Information
about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the
business of renting or selling it to others. We share customer information
only as we deem appropriate to respond to and fulfill your requests for
products, services, and information, as permitted by law. This may include,
for example, sharing your information with third-party credit and debit card
processors and IT vendors.
What Are Your Choices
You
can choose not to provide any personal information to Boch.com or any Boch
entity, to not use this website to contact us, and to not place any deposits or
order any merchandise. If you choose to provide such information, we may from
time-to-time contact you by e-mail, phone, or mail regarding our products and
services. If you do not want to receive such communications, simply tell us
that when you give us your personal information. Also, at any time you can
edit your merchandise account information to no longer receive such offers and
contacts. You also may choose to reject cookies, as mentioned above. If you
choose to reject all cookies, some parts of our site may not work properly in
your case.

secure the information we collect online. For example, we secure the

limitations of the internet which are beyond our reasonable control, the
