Commitment to Privacy Protection

ADESA respects your right to privacy. We have developed this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use and, in some situations, disclose information about you. Some of the information collected by ADESA may be "personal information" within the meaning of federal and/or provincial privacy laws.

Types of Information Collected

We collect personal information only for the purposes set out in this Policy. The information collected depends on the service(s) requested.

When you register to bid at an auction, we collect information to verify your identity (name, address, phone numbers, email address, driver’s license #) and confirm your refundable deposit (credit card data). We may collect information to confirm your ability to pay for purchases (banking information) and/or request your consent for a credit history report.

If you are the successful bidder on a vehicle, we will collect information necessary to transfer ownership (RIN) of the vehicle to you, secure payment, confirm that you are licensed to drive, and verify that you have insured your purchase as required by applicable provincial laws. To expedite the sale check out process, we may collect some of this information at the time you register to bid.

Auction sales are video and/or audio recorded. In addition, for security purposes, many of our auction locations are protected by video surveillance.

We collect and maintain records regarding your vehicle purchases (price, make, model year, VIN#, body type, series/trim, odometer, vehicle history and condition) and details of any services we provided.

If you consign a vehicle for sale through ADESA, we will collect information to confirm your ownership of the vehicle. We will also collect detailed information on the vehicle consigned including make, model year, VIN#, body, series, trim, odometer, history, condition, liens, warranty and insurance information.

Certain information is automatically tracked when you visit our websites, use any of our online services, enter a contest, complete a survey or submit questions or information to us online. The types of information that are automatically tracked include the vehicles and the number of vehicle condition reports you looked at, number of times you logged in, bid and or purchased vehicles.

Purpose of Collecting the Information

ADESA collects, uses, and discloses personal information for the following purposes:

• to deliver the products and/or services that you have requested;
• to process bidder registration applications and related documents;
• to verify the information that you provide to us;
• to verify and/or evaluate your creditworthiness;
• to administer our arbitration process;
• to assist with the collection of any amounts owing by you to us;
• to respond to requests, complaints or comments received from you or other customers;
• to transfer ownership of vehicles purchased and/or sold through us;
• to contact you to provide you with information regarding sales events and services;
• to help us to develop, evaluate and improve our sales and marketing strategies and techniques;
• to enable us or third parties that we retain to deliver products and/or services that you have requested or consented to (such as lien checks, transportation services, warranty, vehicle repair services and similar services);
• to respond to reasonable inquiries from regulatory, governmental, investigative and law enforcement agencies; and
• to maintain and update our list of authorized bidders.

We collect, use and disclose aggregated and individual sales data including sale location, pricing, odometer reading, vehicle condition, vehicle description and vehicle identification number information to assist us and third parties to evaluate market trends, analyse data, prepare market reports, and generate valuation products and services. The aggregated and individual sales data does not include personal information.

If requested, we provide law enforcement and regulatory agencies with buyer or seller names and other information, some of which may be personal information.

ADESA may share personal and/or aggregated information that you have provided to us with other business divisions within the KAR Holdings group of companies for the purposes identified in this policy.

Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention

We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with your consent or as required by law.

Personal information will be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes, as required by law or as required by our established document retention policies.

Consent

By providing your personal information to ADESA, by registering as a customer, or otherwise using ADESA’s services, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Accuracy and Corrections

Personal information shall be as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used. If you would like to update personal information previously submitted to ADESA, request to have outdated personal information removed, or withdraw your consent to the use or disclosure of your personal information, please contact us by phone at (905) 896-4400 and ask to speak with ADESA's legal counsel.

Safeguards

ADESA has safeguards in place through the use of firewalls and password protected access to control access to your personal information and to ensure that your personal information is appropriately protected. Openness

ADESA will make readily available to customers specific information about its policies and practices relating to the management of personal information. Customers can challenge the accuracy and completeness of information and have it amended as appropriate.
