Right to opt out of sales and sharing of personal information for targeted advertising
Does CarMax sell my information?
CarMax does not sell your personal information for money. We do disclose some information with third parties like Facebook, Google, and advertising partners in exchange for insights, advertising, or other valuable services. Some state laws treat some of these exchanges as "sales." To opt out, read below.
Does CarMax share or use my information for targeted advertising?
To deliver relevant advertising, CarMax and its digital advertising partners collect information about customers’ inferred interests and online activities. For example, if you view a type of vehicle on our website, we may combine that with information regarding your activities on other sites or applications and use or disclose that information to present you with advertisements for similar vehicles when you visit our website again or when you visit other websites. If you’d like to opt out of our use or sharing for such purposes, read below.
What happens if I opt out of the selling of my information or targeted advertising?
If you opt out of sales, when we recognize that information is associated with you, we will not disclose the information to third parties for their own use in exchange for valuable consideration. If you opt out of sharing or processing for targeted advertising, we won’t use or disclose information that we recognize as being associated with you for purposes of delivering advertising to you that is targeted based on your activities on our and unaffiliated websites.
What happens if I delete my cookies or change my device?
Our opt-out processes for targeted advertising and sales rely on browser cookies that we place on your device. If you change your device or delete your cookies, you may need to re-register your opt-out for sales or targeted advertising.
