- Service providers that work for us under contract and may use your information only to provide their service: website hosting, email, payment processing, website analytics, text messaging and telephone services, shipping and delivery, and professional advisors such as accountants and attorneys.
- Lenders. If you apply for financing, we send your application to Sheffield Financial (a division of Truist Bank) or another lender we work with, so they can make a credit decision. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy notices.
- Manufacturers and warranty providers, when needed to register a product, process a warranty claim or carry out a recall.
- Government agencies, such as the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, county tax collectors and the Florida Department of Revenue, for title, registration and tax purposes.

- Business transfers. If our business or its assets are sold, merged or reorganized, customer information may be transferred to the new owner, who must continue to protect it as described in this policy.
Text messaging. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third party, other than the service providers that deliver our messages.
4. Calls, Text Messages and Call Recording
If you give us your phone number and agree to be contacted, we may call or text you about your inquiry, purchase, service or financing application. With your prior express written consent, those calls and texts may be made with an automated system or an automated or AI-assisted voice, as permitted by the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (Section 501.059, Florida Statutes).
- Consent is not a condition of purchase. You can buy from us without agreeing to automated calls or texts.

Your card or bank details go directly to Stripe and are handled under Stripe's privacy policy and the payment card industry security standard (PCI DSS). We receive your name, contact details, billing and shipping address, the amount paid, any sales tax charged and the status of the payment. We do not receive or store your full card number or security code.

8. How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, and for as long as the law requires us to keep sales, service, warranty, tax and dealer records. When we no longer need records that contain personal information, we take reasonable steps to dispose of them securely, by shredding, erasing or otherwise making the information unreadable, as required by the Florida Information Protection Act (Section 501.171, Florida Statutes).
