Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026.

Kennedy Auto Sales ("we", "us", or "our") operates this website and sells pre-owned vehicles. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes the personal information we collect, how we use it, and your choices. It applies to visitors and customers in Canada, including Ontario, where our dealership is located.

Who we are

For the purposes of this policy, the organization responsible for personal information collected through this site and our showroom is Kennedy Auto Sales.

Current address, phone, and email are listed on our About & Contact page. General questions about vehicles or financing can also be sent through our contact form.

Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact and inquiry details when you submit our contact form or otherwise reach out, such as your name, email address, phone number, message content, and an optional vehicle you select from our inventory.
• Dealership and transaction information if you purchase, finance, trade in, or service a vehicle with us, including identification, payment, and vehicle-related records as permitted or required for the sale and related services.
• Website and technical data such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and timestamps. This may come from server logs or similar technologies that help us operate and secure the site.

Our public financing calculator runs in your browser; values you enter are not sent to us unless you separately contact us (for example, with a financing question through the contact form).

How we use information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries and schedule appointments.
• Market, sell, and deliver pre-owned vehicles and related services (including arranging financing or referrals where you ask us to).
• Maintain records for accounting, warranty, and legal compliance.
• Improve our website, detect fraud, and protect our systems.
• Communicate with you about your requests or transactions, where appropriate.

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product. We may share information with service providers who assist us (for example, hosting, email, or IT) under contractual terms that require appropriate protection and use only for the services they provide to us.

Legal basis and consent

Canadian privacy law, including the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) where it applies, generally requires that we identify the purposes for collection, obtain meaningful consent where required, limit collection and use, keep information accurate, safeguard it, and be transparent about our practices.

By submitting the contact form or otherwise providing information, you consent to our collection and use of that information for the purposes described here, subject to any stricter requirements that apply to specific programs or regulated activities.

Cookies and similar technologies

This public website is designed to work without tracking cookies for general browsing. Our staff sign-in area may use a session cookie required for administrative access; that cookie is not used to profile public visitors.

If we add analytics or marketing pixels in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, provide additional choices or notices.

Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, tax, and regulatory requirements applicable to motor vehicle dealers and lenders. Retention periods can vary depending on the type of record.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the Internet is perfectly secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords for any accounts you maintain with third parties we may refer you to (such as lenders).

Access, correction, and complaints

You may request access to or correction of the personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions. To make a request, contact us using the details on About & Contact. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or your provincial privacy commissioner, as applicable.

Third-party sites

Our website may link to social networks, lenders, or other third parties. Those sites have their own privacy policies; we are not responsible for their practices.

Children

Our services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of majority without appropriate parental or guardian consent.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes may be highlighted on our website or communicated where appropriate.
