DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We disclose personal information to provide and improve our Services; to reach you with more relevant information and offers; to support recall, warranty and safety purposes; to provide you with information about third party offers you may be interested in; to honor your consent or authorization; and to achieve other purposes set out below:
Affiliates and Subsidiaries
Genesis may share your personal information with Hyundai Motor America, as well as Hyundai Motor Company, our parent company headquartered in South Korea and our subsidiaries. Genesis may also share your personal information with our finance affiliate Hyundai Capital America and our R&D affiliate Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc., both located in the United States.
Service providers and suppliers
We may disclose personal information to our vendors, service providers, suppliers, contractors or agents who use such data in order to perform functions on our behalf.
Marketing partners and third parties
Genesis may share personal information, including information about users of Services or vehicle owner information, with third parties including our affiliates and subsidiaries, authorized retailers, and licensees. In addition, personal information may be used by our business partners, including marketing and promotional partners, to conduct joint marketing programs with Genesis, show you advertisements about our products and services on third party sites, and to offer you other valuable products and services. We may share personal information, such as name, contact information and other data about your vehicles or interests, with our authorized retailers in your area so that they may contact you about your vehicle needs and purchase plans, or otherwise reach out to you for marketing purposes.
Programs
Genesis may invite you to participate in promotional activities, such as surveys, sweepstakes, contests, special events, blogs and chats (“Programs”). These Programs are oftentimes co-marketed with an unaffiliated Genesis business partner. If you participate in a Program, we may use personal information you provide. For example, we may send you email messages to invite you to join a contest. Your personal information may also be shared with our business partners and may also be used by our business partners if you indicate your interest in receiving communications directly from that company. If you elect to receive communications from our business partners, your information will be used by that company in accordance with its policies and this Privacy Policy will not apply to that company’s use of your information. Sometimes the rules, terms and conditions, or disclaimers that apply to a particular Program include information on how we may use the personal information that you provide to us through your participation in the Program. If there is a conflict between the rules, terms, and conditions that apply to a particular Program and this Privacy Policy, those applying to the particular Program will govern. Please review all of the information about a Program before you provide us (or our business partners) with any personal information.
Participating vendors
Some of our Services offer opportunities to make purchases online from special participating vendors. For Services with online purchase opportunities for products and merchandise, we may also give participating vendors the order information and authorization for the merchant bank. Any time you order from a participating vendor, that vendor will automatically have all the information related to the order. Participating vendors may use that information to advise you directly of other products and offerings that they provide.
Credit card companies and payment services
In some cases, we use third party payment and transaction services to facilitate your transactions and process your orders. In such cases, we will share your personal information and credit card information with third party payment services companies solely for the purpose of completing the transaction or processing your order.
Public postings
You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose information, personal or otherwise, online in any community area (whether through Genesis websites or any other Service available online), that information can be collected and used by others. Accordingly, you should use caution when sharing any personal information or other sensitive information with others in any community area (whether through Genesis websites or any other Service available online).
Business transfers
We may disclose and transfer personal information as part of any merger, acquisition, financing, sale of company assets or interests in the respective company, or in the case of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, including during negotiations related to such business transfers.
Protecting rights and interests
We may disclose your information to protect or defend the safety, rights, property, or security of Genesis, third parties or the general public, including to protect the Services, to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, technical issues, or other activity which we, in our sole discretion, consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity. We may also use personal information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved, and as necessary to enforce this Privacy Policy, our Terms, and other applicable agreements with you.
Legal compliance and lawful requests
We may disclose your information to comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations, including as part of a judicial proceeding, in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, or other legal process, or to cooperate with investigations or lawful requests, whether formal or informal, from law enforcement or government entities.
De-identified and Aggregated Data
We may share aggregate or de-identified information with third parties for research, marketing, analytics, and other purposes, provided such information does not reasonably identify you.

While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for direct monetary compensation from such third parties, we do disclose or make available personal information to third parties, in order to receive certain services or benefits from them—for example, when we allow third party tags to collect information such as browsing history on our Sites to improve and measure our ad campaigns.
