This Notice describes how iCar Asia uses your Personal Data when you are on the Sites and when you use its services. This Notice does not describe information collection policies on other sites, including those linked to or from the Sites.
If you disclose personally identifiable information to a third party, this Notice will not apply and you will be subject to the personal data notice of that third party (if any).
Words defined in the Sites’ Terms of Use have the same meaning in this Notice, unless otherwise defined herein.
The Personal Data Gathered by iCar Asia
iCar Asia collects Personal Data that it considers necessary for it or its related companies/corporations to provide the range of services offered by iCar Asia. The provision of your Personal Data is voluntary. However, if you do not provide your Personal Data, iCar Asia may not be able to (i) communicate with you; (ii) provide you the services you require or (iii) you may not be able to access certain sections of the Site.
Although the Personal Data may be voluntarily given by you, it is necessary for us to process your Personal Data without which we will not be able to use and/or continue to use your Personal Data for the purposes stated in this Notice.
“Personal Data” means information about you which you have provided to iCar Asia, such as your name, address, telephone number, NRIC No., email address, your personal preferences, bank account information, IP addresses, photographs and images, call recordings of you and any other information which may identify you that has been or may be collected, stored, used and processed by iCar Asia from time to time which includes but is not limited to the information further described below.
The Personal Data iCar Asia collects generally falls into two categories:
Information collected by iCar Asia as visitors use the Sites.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
iCar Asia may collect your Personal Data, and/or use the Personal Data collected, in the following specific ways:
To make use of certain features on the respective Sites, visitors need to provide limited information about themselves and their interests so that iCar Asia can tailor the information iCar Asia provides to their needs.
For example, to help you find the car you want close to home, iCar Asia will need to know what kind of car you are looking for and your location. iCar Asia will ask you to provide this information when you perform a search and this information is utilized by iCar Asia to help you find the car you are looking for or as otherwise described in this Notice.
From time to time, iCar Asia may offer sweepstakes or other promotions on the respective Sites. If you enter a sweepstakes or promotional contest, you will be required to provide information about yourself (such as your name, NRIC No./ passport no., telephone number, address, date of birth, and email address). Among other things, iCar Asia will use this information to contact you if you win, and iCar Asia may also use this information for marketing purposes and such information may therefore be published or made public. iCar Asia may share this information with any co-sponsor/ co-organiser of the contest or sweepstakes; iCar Asia will identify the co-sponsor/ co-organiser in the contest rules. iCar Asia may also share this information with shipping or fulfillment companies or other third-party service providers that help administer our promotions, such as by conducting drawings, and/or delivering prizes to winners. If you do not want iCar Asia or such other third parties to collect the information requested in the contest or sweepstakes registration form or to provide it to co-sponsors/ co-organisers, please do not enter the contest or sweepstakes.
From time to time, iCar Asia may conduct a survey on its users to measure their satisfaction with the Network and to help iCar Asia learn more about its audience and how they interact with the iCar Asia Network. Third-party research firms often conduct these surveys on our behalf. iCar Asia uses the survey results to help it improve the services that it offers to you. iCar Asia will take the information you provide and aggregate it on an anonymous basis with data collected from other survey participants. iCar Asia may use and disclose that pool of anonymous information as it sees fit, without identifying you personally.
You may also find on the Sites, invitations to participate in surveys conducted by advertisers of iCar Asia, whose personal data protection policies are not controlled by iCar Asia. These invitations will usually link to an online survey form that is hosted either by the advertiser conducting the survey or by a third-party research firm working on the advertiser's behalf. When you access an advertiser's survey through the Sites, the use and disclosure of any information you submit will be governed by the advertiser's personal data protection policy (or by the personal data protection policy of the advertiser's research firm), which may differ from iCar Asia’s. If you cannot find the applicable personal data protection policy via a link either from the advertiser's survey invitation or from the online survey form, you should contact the advertiser directly for more information.
iCar Asia may use your email address and/or telephone number(s) to respond to requests you make for iCar Asia’s products or services or to respond to your communications with iCar Asia. iCar Asia may also contact you to inquire about your experience on the Sites, to provide you with information about the products and services available from iCar Asia and/or its affiliates, or to communicate to you information related to the automotive industry. From time to time, iCar Asia may contact you via telephone and/or send you emails, MMS, SMS and/or Line messages that include special promotions and other commercial offers that iCar Asia thinks may be of interest to you. We hope you will find these communications informative and useful. If you do not, you can unsubscribe at any time from any of our commercial marketing/ communication programs by following the simple instructions included in an email you receive in connection with the respective programs.
If you request for a car using our Latest Car Requests, iCar Asia will use and share your email address and other relevant Personal Data with participating dealers.
