Effective Date: August 7, 2026
Last Updated: August 7, 2026
AutoLeaseInc (“AutoLeaseInc,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us.
This Privacy Policy explains how AutoLeaseInc collects, uses, processes, retains, protects, and discloses information when you visit our website, communicate with us, request vehicle pricing or lease information, use our tools or services, or ask us to assist you with locating, comparing, purchasing, financing, leasing, selling, trading, returning, or otherwise obtaining a vehicle.
AutoLeaseInc provides automotive information, vehicle-shopping assistance, lease and purchase analysis, deal comparison, vehicle sourcing, transaction assistance, and related services. Depending on the service requested, we may work with automobile dealerships, manufacturers, lenders, leasing companies, financial institutions, insurance providers, transportation providers, technology providers, and other third parties involved in an automotive transaction.
By accessing our website or providing information to AutoLeaseInc, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Those businesses may independently collect, process, retain, or use your information under their own privacy policies and applicable laws. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before completing a transaction.

We may use server logs, cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons, analytics technologies, or similar technologies to collect this information.
4. How We Collect Information
AutoLeaseInc may collect personal information:
Directly from you. This includes information you provide through forms, consultations, emails, telephone calls, text messages, document uploads, vehicle requests, applications, and other communications.
Automatically. Certain technical and usage information may be collected when you use our website.
From dealerships and automotive partners. We may receive information concerning vehicle availability, pricing, incentives, transaction status, financing, lease structures, trade values, or other information relevant to your requested service.
From service providers. We may receive information from companies that assist us with website operation, communications, analytics, fraud prevention, identity verification, transaction support, or other business functions.
From public or commercially available sources. We may use vehicle inventory, manufacturer incentives, publicly advertised pricing, market data, vehicle valuation information, or similar automotive information to help identify and analyze vehicle opportunities.
From lenders or credit-related providers. Where legally permitted and appropriately authorized, information relevant to financing or leasing may be received from lenders, financial institutions, dealerships, or other parties involved in the transaction.

6. Dealerships, Lenders, and Vehicle Transaction Partners
A central part of AutoLeaseInc's services may involve helping customers interact with third-party automotive businesses.
When you ask us to assist with a vehicle transaction, we may provide information to one or more:
- franchised or independent automobile dealerships;
- dealership groups;
- automobile manufacturers or their affiliated programs;

- trade-in or vehicle-purchasing companies; and
- other parties reasonably necessary to complete the requested transaction.
We limit such disclosures to information we reasonably believe is appropriate to perform the requested service or facilitate the transaction.
For example, a dealership may need your name, telephone number, address, vehicle selection, driver's license, insurance information, and financial or credit-related information to prepare or complete a lease or purchase.
Once your information is received by an independent dealership, lender, or other third party, that party may process your information under its own privacy practices and legal obligations.
7. Service Providers
AutoLeaseInc may engage companies or individuals to perform services on our behalf.
These may include providers of:
- website hosting;
- cloud storage;
- customer relationship management systems;

- telephone and SMS services;
- document processing;
- payment processing;

- cybersecurity;

- identity verification;
- customer support;
- advertising and marketing;
- software development;
- artificial intelligence technologies;
- vehicle data;
- market data; and
- other administrative or technology services.
These providers may access personal information only as reasonably necessary to perform services for AutoLeaseInc, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.
8. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Technologies
AutoLeaseInc may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, algorithms, and other automated technologies to assist our personnel and improve our services.
These technologies may be used to:
- analyze vehicle information;
- organize inventory or pricing information;
- compare offers;
- identify potentially relevant vehicle opportunities;
- summarize customer information;
- assist with lease or purchase calculations;
- analyze documents;
- assist with customer communications;
- improve search functionality;
- detect fraud or suspicious activity;
- perform data analysis; and
- improve internal business processes.
Where appropriate, automated technologies are intended to assist AutoLeaseInc personnel rather than replace required human judgment.
AutoLeaseInc may use third-party technology providers to provide these functions. When personal information is provided to such providers, we seek to limit its use to providing services to AutoLeaseInc consistent with applicable contractual and legal requirements.
9. Marketing Communications
Where permitted by law, AutoLeaseInc may communicate with you regarding:
- vehicle offers;
- manufacturer incentives;
- lease opportunities;
- financing opportunities;
- vehicle availability;
- price changes;
- lease-end opportunities;
- trade-in opportunities;

- new AutoLeaseInc services; and
- other automotive information that may be relevant to you.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe mechanism contained in the communication.
You may opt out of marketing text messages by following the opt-out instructions provided in the message, such as replying STOP where applicable.
Opting out of marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending non-promotional communications that are necessary to provide a service you requested or complete an ongoing transaction.
10. SMS and Telephone Communications
If you provide your telephone number and consent to receive calls or text messages where consent is required, AutoLeaseInc may contact you concerning your inquiry, requested services, vehicle opportunities, transaction status, and related matters.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of purchasing a vehicle or obtaining services unless specifically disclosed otherwise.
You may revoke consent to marketing text messages in accordance with the instructions provided in those communications.
AutoLeaseInc may use third-party telecommunications providers to facilitate telephone and SMS communications.
11. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies
AutoLeaseInc may use first-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies.
These technologies may be used for:
- essential website functions;
- security;
- remembering preferences;
- website analytics;
- performance measurement;
- personalization;
- advertising measurement;
- remarketing; and
- understanding how visitors interact with our website.
You may be able to restrict or disable cookies through your browser or device settings. Disabling certain cookies may cause portions of the website to operate incorrectly or become unavailable.
Where required by applicable law, AutoLeaseInc may provide additional controls concerning non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.
12. Advertising and Remarketing
AutoLeaseInc may use advertising and remarketing technologies to provide advertisements to people who have previously interacted with our website or services.
Advertising providers may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers, or similar technologies to measure advertising performance and deliver advertising based on website activity.
Depending on the technology used and the state in which you reside, certain advertising-related disclosures may constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or another regulated activity under applicable state privacy laws even where AutoLeaseInc does not receive money in exchange for personal information.
Where applicable law provides a right to opt out of such processing, AutoLeaseInc will honor legally valid requests as required.
13. Sale of Personal Information
AutoLeaseInc does not sell personal information for money.
We do not operate a business model in which customer names, telephone numbers, financial information, driver's license information, or credit information are sold as customer lists to unrelated companies.
However, certain U.S. state privacy laws define terms such as “sale” or “sharing” more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale. Certain advertising or analytics technologies may therefore be treated as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under a particular state's law.
Where applicable, AutoLeaseInc will provide legally required opt-out rights.
Information transmitted to a dealership, lender, or other transaction participant at your direction or for purposes of providing a service you requested is used to facilitate that service or transaction and is not intended to constitute the commercial sale of your personal information.
14. Sensitive Personal Information
Certain services may require information considered sensitive under applicable privacy laws, including:
- driver's license information;
- government identification;
- precise financial information;
- account or payment information;
- insurance information;
- credit-related information; and
- other information legally classified as sensitive personal information.
We seek to collect sensitive information only when reasonably necessary for the service requested, to complete a transaction, for security or fraud-prevention purposes, or as otherwise permitted by law.
We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about consumers for purposes unrelated to providing our services unless disclosed and legally permitted.
15. Disclosure for Legal and Safety Purposes
AutoLeaseInc may disclose personal information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
- comply with federal, state, or local law;
- comply with a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other valid legal process;
- respond to lawful requests from government authorities;
- cooperate with regulators or law enforcement;
- investigate suspected fraud;
- protect against misuse of our services;
- protect the rights, safety, security, or property of AutoLeaseInc, our customers, or others;
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or
- enforce our agreements or policies.
16. Business Transfers
If AutoLeaseInc is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, dissolution, or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred or disclosed as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
17. Data Retention
AutoLeaseInc retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may depend on:
- the nature of the information;
- whether a transaction was completed;
- our continuing relationship with you;
- contractual requirements;
- accounting and recordkeeping requirements;
- fraud-prevention needs;
- dispute-resolution needs;
- applicable statutes of limitation; and
- federal or state legal requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, destroy, aggregate, or de-identify it.
Information stored in backups may remain securely stored until those backups are overwritten or deleted in accordance with our normal retention practices.
18. Data Security
AutoLeaseInc uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against:
- unauthorized access;
- unauthorized disclosure;
- misuse;
- alteration;
- destruction; and
- loss.
Safeguards may include access controls, password protection, encryption where appropriate, secure technology infrastructure, restricted access to sensitive information, employee or contractor confidentiality requirements, and security monitoring.
Nevertheless, no website, electronic transmission, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, AutoLeaseInc cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.
19. Your U.S. State Privacy Rights
Depending on where you reside and whether the applicable law applies to AutoLeaseInc, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- confirm whether we process your personal information;
- request access to personal information;
- obtain information concerning categories of personal information collected;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of certain information;
- obtain a portable copy of certain information;
- opt out of certain targeted advertising;
- opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information;
- limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable;
- withdraw consent where processing is based upon consent;
- appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request; and
- receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
The exact rights available to you depend upon your state of residence and applicable law.
AutoLeaseInc will not unlawfully discriminate against you because you exercise a privacy right.
20. California Privacy Rights
California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), where those laws apply to AutoLeaseInc.
These rights may include requests to know, access, correct, or delete personal information and rights concerning the sale or sharing of personal information and use or disclosure of sensitive personal information.
AutoLeaseInc does not sell personal information for money.
If AutoLeaseInc engages in activity legally considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, eligible California consumers may exercise the applicable opt-out rights.
We will provide additional notices or mechanisms if and when required by California law.
21. Global Privacy Control and Browser Signals
Where required by applicable law, AutoLeaseInc will process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), as a request to opt out of applicable sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising processing associated with that browser or device.
Because these signals may be device- or browser-specific, you may need to enable the signal separately on each browser or device you use.
22. Exercising Your Privacy Rights
You may submit an applicable privacy request by contacting AutoLeaseInc using the information listed in the Contact Us section below.
Your request should describe the privacy right you wish to exercise and provide sufficient information for us to identify the relevant records.
Before fulfilling certain requests, we may need to verify your identity.
Depending on applicable state law, an authorized agent may be permitted to submit a request on your behalf. We may request documentation demonstrating the agent's authority.
If applicable law gives you the right to appeal a decision concerning your privacy request, you may submit an appeal using the same contact information and identify the request as a Privacy Appeal.
23. De-Identified and Aggregated Information
AutoLeaseInc may create aggregated or de-identified information from information collected through our services.
For example, we may analyze vehicle preferences, pricing trends, lease structures, incentive effectiveness, geographic demand, or website usage without identifying a particular customer.
Where information has been appropriately de-identified so that it is no longer reasonably linked to an identifiable individual, we may use it for research, analytics, product development, market analysis, service improvement, and other lawful business purposes.
Where required by law, we will maintain de-identified information in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it except as permitted by law.
24. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by dealerships, manufacturers, lenders, insurers, vehicle-information providers, social networks, or other third parties.
AutoLeaseInc does not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Visiting or providing information directly to a third-party website is subject to that party's privacy policy and terms.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third party with which you interact.
25. Children's Privacy
AutoLeaseInc's automotive transaction services are intended for adults.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Our vehicle purchasing, financing, and leasing services are generally intended for individuals who are legally capable of entering into the applicable transaction.
If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
26. Information Concerning Other Individuals
If you provide AutoLeaseInc with personal information concerning another person, such as a co-applicant, co-buyer, co-lessee, household member, or vehicle owner, you represent that you have authority or another lawful basis to provide that information to us.
We may require the other individual to provide separate information, authorization, or consent before processing certain aspects of a transaction.
27. Information Necessary to Provide Services
Certain personal information is optional.
However, automotive transactions frequently require identification, insurance, registration, financial, credit, residency, or other information.
If you decline to provide information necessary to perform a requested service, AutoLeaseInc or a third-party transaction participant may be unable to provide that service or complete the transaction.
28. International Visitors
AutoLeaseInc is based in the United States and primarily provides services relating to the United States automotive market.
If you access our services from outside the United States, information you provide may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States.
Privacy and data-protection laws in the United States may differ from those of your country.
29. Changes to This Privacy Policy
AutoLeaseInc may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:
- our services;
- our technology;
- our business practices;
- applicable privacy laws; or
- regulatory requirements.
When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of the Policy.
If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate or required by law.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

AutoLeaseInc Privacy Commitment
AutoLeaseInc's business is built around helping consumers understand and navigate vehicle transactions. Personal information provided to us should be used for that purpose.
We therefore seek to follow three basic principles:
Collect what is reasonably necessary.
We seek to collect information appropriate to providing the service requested rather than collecting personal information without a legitimate business purpose.
Use information to serve the customer.
Information may be used to locate vehicles, analyze deals, compare pricing and incentives, facilitate transactions, provide support, prevent fraud, and improve our services.
Protect customer information.
We do not sell customer personal information for money, and we use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information entrusted to AutoLeaseInc.
When completing a vehicle transaction requires us to provide information to a dealership, lender, leasing company, insurer, or another transaction participant, we seek to disclose only information reasonably appropriate to facilitate the customer's requested service or transaction.
