If you are an individual user (and not acting on behalf of a car dealer) and you want to use our services to buy or sell a vehicle, we and/or our business partners may collect information provided by you in connection with that transaction, for example to create your vehicle listing, to verify vehicle ownership, to confirm funds availability, to process payment, to populate purchase and sale documents, and to provide user support. We may collect this information from entry forms on our site or third-party sites we integrate with, or from a picture of your ID that you upload. This information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, driver's license number, photo, gender, date of birth, the last four digits of your social security number, bank name, and bank account and routing numbers.

b. Automatic Collection of Personal Information



In addition to the personal information we may collect from you directly, we also automatically collect user activity data from our digital properties using tracking technologies.

This typically includes data about your browser or device's IP address, user agent string, your internet service provider or mobile carrier and the type of handheld or mobile device you use, the date and time of your visit, the pages you view immediately before and after you access our website, the areas or pages of our website that you visit, the amount of time you spend viewing or using our website, items placed or left in your shopping cart on the Site or App, keystrokes, mouse movements, form field entries, recordings of chat sessions or your use of and inputs to other AI-supported tools, and other use and overall engagement with our website.

Applications and Widgets for Social Media. We may display applications or widgets from social media providers that allow interaction or content sharing by their users. These widgets, such as the Facebook® "Share" or "Like" button, are visible to you on the page that you visit. This may allow the social media networks in which you participate to collect information about you, even when you do not explicitly activate the network's application or widget while on our digital property. Please visit the applicable social media network's privacy notice to better understand their data collection practices and the choices they make available to you.



In addition to social media networks, our digital properties also contain references and links to third-party sites that may offer information of interest. This Privacy Notice does not apply to those sites, and we recommend reviewing those sites' privacy notices individually.

Information Collected from Other Sources. We may process personal information from third-party sources to update or supplement the information that you provide or that we collect. For instance, we may collect vehicle registration information from public databases to support a service you have engaged us for. Other sources of information include third-party advertising partners, data providers or aggregators, and search information providers.



We use this information to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect, personalize your experience with the site, target our communications and advertisements so that we can inform you of products and services or other offers that may be of interest to you, provide private purchase and sale transaction services, prevent fraud, and for internal business analysis or other business purposes.

With your consent, CarGurus may use and share this information with participating dealers in order to provide you with consumer services, which may include showing you vehicles available nearby, highlighting products or services offered on a dealer’s lot, facilitating your arrival for a test drive or appointment, helping you engage with dealers more efficiently, or presenting you with other location-based services that you request or may reasonably expect.



In addition, we may process location data in aggregated or de-identified form for business purposes, such as providing insights to dealers about consumer traffic patterns or activity in proximity to their or competing dealer locations.

IV. Technologies We Use to Automatically Collect Personal Information

Along with companies we partner with, we employ pixel tags, cookies, java scripts, SDKs, local shared objects such as Flash (sometimes called “flash cookies”), and similar technology (“tracking technologies”) on our digital properties, and third-party digital properties we integrate with. These technologies may create unique advertising identifiers (e.g. cookie identifiers or mobile advertising identifiers) that reside on your browser or mobile device, and in some cases server-side. Tracking technologies may transmit data about your use of our digital properties, including which pages you interacted with, your vehicle search history, the advertisements shown to you or that you may have clicked on, other page view/click data, the date and time of your visit, all associated with your browser or mobile device's advertising identifier. These identifiers typically persist over time. You can set some cookie preferences through your device or browser settings but doing so may affect the functionality of the site.



We leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including both AI-enabled tools and internally developed systems, to enhance our business operations, improve our services, and deliver a better user experience. Our use of AI is guided by applicable laws, emerging regulatory standards, and industry best practices, with a strong focus on transparency, accountability, and fairness. We ensure that our processing of personal information complies with our privacy and security policies and implement robust safeguards to protect your data. We are committed to regularly reviewing and refining our AI practices to address evolving privacy norms and maintain trust.



These technologies may also include session recording tools such as heat maps, click maps, scroll maps, session replay software, and other similar technologies to track user interactions on our website, including viewed content (e.g. video) to fix bugs, evaluate effectiveness, and make other improvements as necessary. These tools allow us to collect information about how you interact with our content, which helps us improve website functionality, design, and overall user experience.



You consent to the use of electronic communications and tracking technologies, and waive any claim that such practices constitute unlawful wiretapping, eavesdropping, or interception under any state law, including but not limited to the California Invasion of Privacy Act, to the fullest extent permitted by law. You agree that all Disputes and claims involving electronic communications and tracking technologies shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and applicable federal law, regardless of your state of residence.

d. Interest Based Advertising



Targeted Advertising. Also referred to as “interest based,” “online behavioral,” “personalized” advertising, as well as “Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising,” targeted advertising is the serving of digital advertisements based on predictions generated over time from your visits across different websites, devices, mobile applications, as well as our own. We encourage you to consult our detailed notice on Interest Based Advertising here.



We may work with advertising technology partners who allow us to personalize our ads based on your browsing behavior on our digital properties. Many of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and/or members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). In addition to your right under your state's privacy law to opt out from targeted advertising by us and our own advertising partners, you can learn more about targeted ads provided by these companies as well as others we are not partnered with, and how to opt out of receiving certain targeted ads from them by visiting:





Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to the specific browser or device on which you made your request, it does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads from other advertising technology companies or on your other browsers or devices that have not been opted out.



We also partner with Amazon to deliver advertisements. You can opt out of delivery of targeted advertising to you by Amazon here. Please note that even if you opt out, you will continue to receive advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your specific interests.



We may also display interest-based ads to you when you are using Facebook and other social media platforms or websites.
