Consumer Reports Privacy Policy

 

Consumers Union ("CU") will not swap, sell, barter or rent to any third party any individually identifiable information provided during the Consumer Reports New and Used Car Price Service ("the Service") ordering process. CU only shares such data with its contracted affiliates for the sole purpose of processing and delivering your order, and otherwise makes disclosures only as required by law.

CU does not include in its site any functionality allowing third parties to perform "reverse searches" to identify individuals from e-mail addresses.

CU does not use tracking software to monitor your individual use of the Service site.

CU does use temporary browser "cookies" during the Service ordering process, so that you do not need to enter your customer information every time you place an order. You must accept the temporary cookie in order to gain access to the ordering process. Note: If your browser is set to notify you when you receive a cookie, you’ll be asked to accept the cookie (yes/no). Choose yes.

CU does evaluate site usage by analyzing user information in the aggregate, and only in a way that does not identify any individual user.

CU does maintain a secure process for collection, transmission, and storage of customer information. See our Security page for more details.

CU does conduct consumer surveys from time to time. All individually identifiable responses to surveys will be used only by CU and only for in-house purposes. Any published survey data will only include user data in aggregate form.
