Consolidated Auto Solutions.com understands that privacy concerns are of utmost importance
when it comes to the use of your personal information. Because we would like to assure you that we are committed to
protecting your personal privacy, Consolidated Auto Solutions.com has created this privacy statement. We

following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website:
Our site's qualification form may require users to give us information such as your name, address, phone
number, e-mail address, social security number, employment, income, credit history and other financial information
.
This information gathering procedure allows Consolidated Auto Solutions.com to find you a lender that best
meets your borrowing needs and is forwarded to the dealer/lender. It will be necessary during this process to
contact you via the email address you have provided on the form you submitted for auto finance approval. At
any time during this process you decide that you no longer wish to particpate in our program, simply type the

SHARED INFORMATION
If you provide us with your name and mailing address, we may decide to make it available to other companies
that wish to tell you about their products. (See below if you prefer that we not share this information).
We may segment the information into groups of customers who have bought similar amounts and types of products,
but we will never provide details that are specific to a single customer or household. Of course, if there
is any information that we are legally required to provide to government agencies, credit reporting agencies
or to prevent fraud, we will comply with our legal obligations. Occasionally, when
Consolidated Auto Solutions.com does not have a partner dealership available in a specific area to
assist our consumers, we may forward your request for information to another reputable auto loan network.
In such a case, you will become subject to the security and privacy policies that are posted on the associated
website and if you wish to do so, you will have to opt out of disclosure through the associated website.
