This information is shared only within SRT Financing.
At times, particularly when you use one of our on-line services (i.e., new-car buying, used-car buying, SRT Financing's on-line credit application, etc.) SRT Financing may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to fill out any one of these forms. If you choose to use one of these on-line services, however, SRT Financing may require that you provide information, which may include your name, mailing address, e-mail address, social security number or other personally identifying information. When you submit personal information to SRT Financing, you understand and agree that SRT Financing may access, store, and utilize your customer profile information.

While we have not done so at this time, in the future we may contract with other reputable companies in our efforts to offer you additional attractive products and services. If you do not want the information you provide to SRT Financing to be shared with other companies, please indicate this preference when you provide the information to SRT Financing in the comments section. Of course, we will honor your request. SRT Financing's privacy practices are designed to provide a high level of protection for your personal information and our computer systems.
