- Auto Trader® Email Lists
Dealer members receive monthly emails informing them of special promotions and advertising tips. Dealers wishing not to receive the mailer can send a request via email to be removed from the mailing list. Private party members automatically receive an email to confirm their placement on our site and to give them the necessary information to edit and delete their classified ads. Private parties also receive notification of ad renewal opportunities. Dominion Enterprises reserves the right to include third party advertisements that provide additional services to members in the confirmation emails.
- Third Party Distribution
Private party members may receive information directly from third parties that have related services. Private parties that do not wish to receive the third party information can opt-out of the service at the time they place an ad with Auto Trader®. Third parties receive only the needed personal information in order to effectively target members' needs and interests. Third parties have non-exclusive, limited use of the information provided by Dominion Enterprises. Any right of the third party to distribute, transfer, transmit, or re-sell Dominion Enterprises's information is prohibited.
