You can visit Brazos Valley's web site to read about us, our vehicles, and services without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information.

Brazos Valley Auto Sales makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or authenticity of the information contained on those web sites.

Check the privacy policies of other sites before visiting them.

We are not responsible for the collection and use of information by other companies or organizations linked to our web site.

Brazos Valley Auto Sales does not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from our website about children under the age of eighteen. If we become aware that a child under the age of eighteen has sent personal information to us, we will only use that information to respond directly to that child or notify that child's parents.

Information Sharing Outside the Brazos Valley Family and Your Opportunity to "Opt Out."

We may share any of the personal information that we collect about you with companies or other organizations outside of the Brazos Valley family as permitted by law, including:

  • financial service providers such as loan companies;

  • other companies and organizations such as non-profit organizations.

If you choose to opt out of the sharing of personal information with companies outside of the Brazos Valley family, we will not share any personal information about you for any accounts or loans that you may have with us. For any accounts or loans that you hold jointly with another person, each person may separately opt out and joint account holders may opt out for each other. If only one joint account holder opts out, we may share information about other joint account holders. Choosing to opt out of this information sharing may limit opportunities for you to receive product and service information that may interest you.

    Other Information Sharing

    We may also share personal information about you with companies or other organizations outside of the Brazos Valley family as required or permitted by law.

In addition, Brazos Valley may work with companies or organizations outside of the Brazos Valley family to provide services to Brazos Valley or provide you with opportunities to buy financial products or services offered by Brazos Valley or jointly with other financial institutions. Consequently, as permitted by law, we may disclose any of the personal information that we have collected about you to:

  • other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements; and
  • companies that perform services, including marketing services for us, or for the use and the financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements.

    For your protection, we require that these companies keep all personal information secure and confidential.
