Your privacy is important to Hyundai Motor Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Hyundai” “we,” “us” or “our”), as is your trust in Hyundai’s products and services.
This Hyundai Privacy Policy (this “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, and share your personal information through our global website at htwo.hyundai.com/en/ including users who provide information through any of our website’s contact forms, and any features, offers, or services provided by this website (collectively the “Site”). This Privacy Policy also describes, as applicable, your rights regarding access, deletion, opting-out, and correction of your personal information.
Not Covered by this Policy: This Policy only applies to the Site and not to any other Hyundai website or online service, including the Hyundai Motor America website, unless specifically indicated. It does not apply to any third-party websites even though we may link to these sites on our Site.
As a global company, Hyundai Motor Company operates its IT systems and servers primarily in the Republic of Korea. Therefore, your personal data submitted through this website will be transferred to the Republic of Korea. Such transfers are based on the European Commission’s Adequacy Decision for the Republic of Korea, ensuring that your data receives a level of protection essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the European Economic Area (EEA).
By disclosing your personal information to us or using our Site, you understand and agree that Hyundai may collect, transfer, use, and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, you consent to Hyundai’s transfer to and retention of your information within South Korea, which may have less protections for your personal information than the jurisdiction where you live. If required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent to our collection, use, transfer and disclosure of your personal information. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY OR OUR TERMS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO US OR USE THE Site.
We collect information about you from several sources: directly from you, from third parties, and automatically through your use of our Site and interactions with us. For example, we collect personal information that you provide directly by completing one of the forms on our Site. We and our third party services providers also automatically collect usage data when you use the Site via cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies; web analytics; and log files. We may combine the information we collect from these various sources. We will not use cookies for purposes other than those described in this Policy and our Cookies Policy. For more information about cookies, see our Cookies Policy.
Certain privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), require that we disclose the categories of personal information that we may collect about individuals. While the actual information we collect varies depending upon the circumstances, generally we may collect the following categories of personal information:
Hyundai uses the information collected above in several different ways. And we may use your information individually or combine it with other information to generate aggregate statistical information. The primary uses of your information include:
Anonymous and De-identified Information. We also may de-identify information and create anonymous and aggregated data sets and reports to assess, improve, and develop our business, products, and services; prepare benchmarking reports; and for other research and analytics purposes.
We disclose personal information to third parties to provide and improve our Site, products, and services; to reach you with more relevant information and offers; to provide you with information about third party offers you may be interested in; and to honor your consent or authorization. We also disclose personal information to the entities listed and for the purposes set out below:
Categories of Personal Information Disclosed. Certain privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, require that we tell you about the categories of personal information that we have disclosed for a business purpose, as well as the categories that we have “sold.” Please review the section Categories of Personal Information Collected above for further descriptions of each category of personal information. This information is not limited to California users.
Disclosed for a business purpose. In general, we may disclose the following categories of personal information for the business purposes described above:
| Categories of personal information disclosed for our business purposes | Categories of third parties to whom this information was disclosed |
|---|---|
| Cookies | Affiliates and subsidiaries; service providers and suppliers; analytics providers; and government entities. |
Sale. We do not disclose personal information through the Site to third parties in exchange for direct monetary compensation from such third parties. We may disclose or make available personal information collected through the Site to third parties to receive certain services or benefits from them—for example, when we allow third party tags to collect information such as browsing history on our Site to improve and measure our ad campaigns. This disclosure can be considered a sale under certain laws, like the CCPA, and the information “sold” in this manner includes: identifiers, customer records, Internet or other electronic network usage data, and profiles and inferences to affiliates and subsidiaries, and analytics providers. These entities are contractually required to use the personal information we disclose exclusively to provide their respective services, and not for their own independent purposes.
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction, or deletion of certain of your personal information by contacting us. We will endeavor to respond to those requests in the time periods required by applicable laws. We may request certain information from you to verify your identity before responding to a request. We offer these options to you as general rights, but you may have further specific rights that are outlined in our jurisdiction-specific sections below (for example, residents of California, Brazil, China, Saudi Arabia, the European Union and the United Kingdom should refer to jurisdiction-specific sections within this Privacy Policy).
Opting-Out of Certain Communications. Hyundai offers you the opportunity to opt-out from marketing communications from Hyundai, and to opt out of certain disclosures of personal information to third parties.
