Our Promise

HerbChambers.com provides you with a safe, no-hassle method of researching, shopping, and purchasing a vehicle. In this regard, we address the issues of security, full-disclosure, fair and honest pricing, and provide a thorough and specific Privacy Policy.
 
What information does HerbChambers.com collect?

As part of the vehicle research and purchase process, information such as your e-mail address, name, and contact telephone numbers will be requested. This information will be used solely as described below.
When entering information on this web site, it is transferred automatically to HerbChambers.com's Client Relationship Management (hereafter CRM) software. This CRM will automatically record the information so that your inquiry may be answered promptly by a qualified representative.
HerbChambers.com provides for limited employee access to the CRM which is a secured application that can only be accessed by entering a valid user name and password. Once you have expressed interest in being contacted, you will be responded to through a personalized email and/or phone call.
After the initial email contact, there may be several points of communication between you and the dealership by either telephone or email. At any point in the relationship you have the option of indicating by either telephone or email that you no longer wish to be contacted. In this event we will update our CRM so that you are removed from future follow up.
If you express interest in financing a vehicle, additional information related to creditworthiness will be requested by HerbChambers.com. This credit information will only be used in compliance with applicable federal and state law.
 
Does HerbChambers.com use cookies?

HerbChambers.com does, in a limited manner, use a technology called "cookies". A cookie is a small piece of text that you can agree to place on your computer's hard drive. In most cases, you can set your web browser to prompt you when a cookie request is being made from a web page, such as the HerbChambers.com web page, and you have the option to accept or not. If you accept or do not reject the cookie, then your browser adds the text in a small file, which will expire in 90-days. Accepting cookies in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you. It is merely a method of storing information to improve your online experience. It will assist us in making your site visit easier and more productive. Technically, cookies are harmless, occupying just a few bytes on your hard drive. Note that personal information is often contained in or linked to a cookie (such as email address, zip code, etc.). The only time that HerbChambers.com receives such information is if you volunteer it by typing in the information. The use of the personal information is limited to being contacted by the ISG as described above, or, for obtaining financing if you request.
 
 
The following describes how our website uses cookies and how we provide you with a more personalized experience:
 

Marketing:
We publish special promotions, pricing promises, brand name and various other messages on the internet to help consumers find HerbChambers.com and our other websites. In order to determine which method is most effective, a cookie is used to capture which method was used to find our web site. The information included in the cookie is limited to only the message identifier.

We send site metrics information to a third-party who then aggregates the captured data. The type of data captured includes; search engine referral, traffic driven by ad banners or other online promotions, how visitors navigate around the site, and the most popular pages. We also track technical information, such as the browser version and operating system of visitors, to deliver a better site design for our visitors. The data is analyzed, generating several different types of reports showing different views on the data collected. We do not capture any information about any individual's use of the site - rather only aggregate data is captured.

How is email used on HerbChambers.com?

A customer provides an email address to HerbChambers.com in two instances:
 
•    Price Quote - if a customer clicks on "Get e-Price", an email address is requested. In accordance with various state laws, a specific price quote can only be offered to a unique individual - not to the public at large. In order to provide you with a price quote on the site, you must first identify yourself as an individual by entering your email address.
•    Contact Form - if a customer wishes to be contacted, the customer completes a form that includes a request for their email address.
In both cases where an email address is requested, the customer voluntarily submits their email address in order to receive follow up information, a specific price quote, or establish a relationship with a Herb Chambers Dealership.
 
Does HerbChambers.com share any information it collects with outside parties?

At HerbChambers.com, we consider the information you choose to share with us personal and confidential. We will not rent or sell your name, address, e-mail address, credit card information or personal information to any third party without your permission, except as may be required by law.

Each of these sites has their own Privacy Policy governing use on their sites.
 
Does HerbChambers.com provide a way to update or remove personal information?
A customer wishing to change, update, or remove personal information may do so by contacting the dealership by phone or email and stating their wishes at any time.
 
Why are we telling you all this?

HerbChambers.com Security Statement
 
At HerbChambers.com, we've taken important measures to keep the information you share with us safe and secure.
 
Secure Technology:

HerbChambers.com uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your personal information provided on credit applications and where credit card information is required. SSL encrypts or codes this information as it travels over the Internet, and is then decoded by HerbChambers.com and its business partners who facilitate your transactions on this web site.
We do not read personal communications. We do not give out your telephone number, credit card information, or screen names, unless authorized to do so or as required by law.
 
How do I know when my information is protected?

You can tell if you are using a Web browser that supports SSL if a "key" or "padlock" icon appears in one of the lower corners of your screen (For example, when using Netscape you will see a key; when using Internet Explorer you will see a padlock). When you enter a secure page, the key is "unbroken" or the lock is closed. This means that your communications are now secure, encrypted, and cannot be read by non-authorized sources.
 
Another sign that you are in a secure transaction mode is a URL that begins with "https:". When you see any of these symbols on your browser, you know that your information is protected and you can interact with the website with confidence.
