EDealer collects data/information to provide our visitors with a more relevant experience on our sites. When doing so, we will make every reasonable effort to avoid any excessive or non-relevant collection of data. EDealer will take reasonable physical, electronic and managerial measures to safeguard and secure any data/information you provide to us (e.g. data will be stored in protected databases on secured servers with restricted access).
