Privacy Statement

FCA US Privacy Policy

     



Effective Date: January 1, 2023

FCA US LLC (“FCA US,” “we” or “us”) is committed to privacy and transparency in our information practices. This FCA US Privacy Policy (our “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, disclose, share, and otherwise process the personal information described in this Privacy Policy, as well as the rights and choices individuals have regarding their personal information.

If you are a California resident, please review our California Privacy Supplement for additional information about our privacy practices and your California privacy rights, including your right to opt out of sales and sharing of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

Your access to and use of our Services (as defined below) is subject to our applicable terms and agreements, including the FCA Website Terms of Use, and, as applicable, our App End User License Agreement, the FCA Connected Service Terms of Service, and the SiriusXM Guardian Terms of Services (collectively, the “Terms”). These Terms are incorporated by reference into this Privacy Policy, including their applicable limitations on liability and the resolution of disputes.

1. SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information related to: 

  • Our websites (each a “Website”), mobile applications (each an “App”), and online services that link to or display this Privacy Policy, and our “Connected Services” (as defined and further described in our Connected Services Privacy Notice), as well as the services that FCA makes available to through each of these (collectively, the “Services”).

  • Current and former FCA vehicle owners and Connected Services users.

  • Shoppers and prospective purchasers of FCA vehicles, products, and services and other individuals who receive our marketing and promotional communications.

  • Participants in contests, promotions, surveys, and other events that we conduct or sponsor.

  • Individuals that otherwise contact us or interact with us related to our vehicles, the Services, or our business operations.

This Privacy Policy is intended to describe our overall privacy practices with regard to the personal information subject to this Policy. Our actual collection, use, disclosure, and processing of personal information about individuals will vary depending upon the circumstances.

Additional Privacy Notices and Terms.

We may also provide additional privacy notices (“additional notice”) for specific products, programs, events, promotions, services, features, incentives, or other offers that we provide or make available. For example, the FCA Connected Services Privacy Notice applies to and provides more detail about our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information related to the Connected Services. If you participate in a sweepstake, incentive program, or other promotion, additional privacy terms may apply as set forth in the terms for that promotion. If there is a conflict with the terms of this Privacy Policy and an additional notice, the terms for the promotion will govern with regard to the personal information collected related to that promotion.

Not Covered by this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information by independently owned and operated FCA dealerships and business. In addition, this Privacy Policy does not generally apply to the personal information that we collect about (i) job applicants and candidates, (ii) employees, independent contractors, and other workers, or (iii) owners and personnel of FCA dealers. If you are a California resident, a different privacy notice (and not this Privacy Policy) applies to our use, disclosure, and processing of such personal information about you.

Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities while using our Services. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Some of the Services may not work properly if you disable cookies.

Clear GIFs. Clear GIFs (also referred to as pixel tags and web beacons) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs in connection with our Services and our marketing and advertising campaigns to, among other things, track the activities users of our Services, help us manage content, compile usage reports, and to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.

Third-Party Analytics. Some of the analytics tools we use may be provided by third-party analytics companies. For example, we use Google Analytics (more info: privacy and opt-out) to evaluate use of our Websites and Services, and to help us understand and improve our Services and our marketing and advertising campaigns. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects, to perform their services.

Targeted Advertising. We may work with third-party ad networks, channel partners, measurement services, and others (“third-party ad companies”) to personalize content and advertising on our Services, and to manage our advertising on third-party sites, mobile apps, and online services. We and these third-party ad companies may use cookies, pixels tags, and other tools to collect activity information, IP address, device ID, advertising IDs, and other identifiers, and location information within our Services (as well as on third-party sites and services). We and these third-party ad companies use this information to provide you more relevant ads and content within our Services and on third-party sites and services, as well as to improve and evaluate the success of such ads and content. 

We also may share certain customer list information (such as your email address) with third-party ad companies so that we can better target these customers and others with similar interests on third-party sites and platforms.

Preferences. You can review or change your preferences for targeted advertising and cookies on our Websites:

  • Browser opt out: you can opt out of targeting and most other third-party cookies (other than those that are necessary) on one our Websites by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of that Website and reviewing and adjusting your cookie settings. Your preferences are browser specific and website specific.

  • Do Not Track (DNT): our Websites currently do not respond to “do not track” signals.

7. SECURITY

We have implemented safeguards that are intended to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess, and keeping your log-in and password private.

8. THIRD PARTY AND CO-BRANDED SITES AND OTHER SERVICES

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, mobile applications, or other services, operated by third parties and subject to different privacy policies. You should review the privacy policy on any website, mobile application, or online service.

Our Services may also contain links to co-branded websites that may display the FCA US logo and trademarks but are maintained by third parties, and do not display this Privacy Policy.

Submitting CCPA Requests. California residents may submit CCPA requests regarding their personal information maintained by us through one of the following methods:

  •  Online through our privacy portal

  •  By phone at 1-866-221-6871 (toll free)

Please complete all required fields on our webform or otherwise provide us with this information via the above toll-free number so that we can process your request. When you submit a request to know, delete, or correct, we will take steps to verify your request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your request or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to adequately verify a request, we will notify the requestor. Authorized agents may also submit requests on behalf of consumers using the online form above; authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require that the relevant consumer directly verify their identity and the authority of the authorized agent.

Your Right to Opt Out of Sales/Sharing. As noted above, California residents can submit a request to opt out of sales and sharing online through our privacy portal or by calling us at (866) 221-6871. We will apply your opt out request based upon the personal information in our records that is linked or reasonably linkable to the information provided in your request.

In addition, our Website responds to global privacy control—or “GPC”—signals, which means that if we detect that your browser is communicating a GPC signal, we will process that as a request to opt that particular browser and device out of sales and sharing (i.e., via cookies and tracking tools) on that Site.  Note that if you come back to the Website from a different device or use a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out (or set GPC for) that browser and device as well.  More information about GPC is available at https://globalprivacycontrols.org.

Financial Incentives. California residents have the right to understand the material terms of any “financial incentive” offered to them and to not be included in such without consent. If we provide any programs or offerings that are considered “financial incentives” under the CCPA, we will disclose the material details of such program to you so that you can choose whether to opt in. You also have the right to opt out of a financial incentive program at any time.

Code § 1798.83), California residents who provide us certain personal information are entitled to request and obtain from us, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we have shared with third parties for their own direct marketing use.
