WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED
•PERSONAL INFORMATION
As a general rule, you will not be required to provide personally identifiable information as a condition of browsing this Web Site. However, we may collect personal information from you in certain areas of our Web Site when you affirmatively submit it to us in connection with one or more specific purposes, such as applying for Membership, which are described below under “How Collected Information Is Used.” When such information is gathered, we will collect the minimum amount necessary to facilitate transactions with you, to improve this Web Site and your customer experience and to make future visits to this Web Site easier and more personalized for you. The personal information we may collect includes, but is not limited to your:
- name

- social security number (associated with the Membership Application)

- e-mail address
- driver's license number and expiration date
- date of birth

In addition to collecting the information that you affirmatively submit to us, we collect information related to your transactions with us, as well, such as location and vehicle interests. We may also receive information about you from credit reporting agencies and other third parties.
We do not collect any sensitive information about you (i.e., personal information specifying racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or information pertaining to personal or intimate details of an individual’s life).
•NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
As part of the standard operation of our Web Site, certain non-personal, anonymous information may be automatically provided to our Web servers by your computer. This information includes your IP address. For each visitor to our Web Site, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor’s domain name or IP address (where possible), but not the visitor’s e-mail address. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. As part of the protocol of the Internet, Web servers can identify your computer by its IP address. In addition, we may collect your browser type and operating system for the purposes of optimizing our website to better serve you. While it is not our practice to link IP addresses to your personally identifiable information, we reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to protect the compelling interests of Enterprise, our Web Site, customers or others, or to comply with laws, court orders, or law enforcement requests.
•COOKIES & PIXEL TRACKING
Cookies are short strings of text sent from a Web server to a Web browser when the browser accesses a Web Site. In simplest terms, when the browser requests a page from the Web server that originally sent it the cookie, the browser sends a copy of the cookie back to that Web server. A cookie typically contains, among other things, the name of the cookie, a unique identification number, an expiration date and domain name information. Cookies are generally used for personalization, tracking and other purposes. Cookies may be “session-only” or “persistent.” Persistent cookies last for more than one visit and are typically used to allow a visitor to our Web Site to personalize their experience. We may use cookies to analyze the traffic on our Web Site (such as total visitors and pages viewed), to personalize features or save you the trouble of retyping your name or other information, and to make improvements to the Web Site based on the data we collect. We do not save passwords or other sensitive information in cookies. The use of cookies has become a standard in the Internet industry, especially at Web Sites that provide any kind of personalized service. Cookies may also be placed by third parties during your visit to the Web Site. Our Affiliates and business partners (including our advertisers) may use these cookies in connection with pixel tracking (discussed below) or otherwise. We do not control these cookies. The use of cookies by advertisers has become standard practice in the Internet industry. We may use pixel tags (also known as “clear gifs,” “Web beacons” or “1-by-1gifs”), which consist of a few lines of computer coding and are not visible to the site user. These tags are used by Enterprise, our Affiliates and/or business partners (including our advertisers) to measure the effectiveness of marketing and advertisements, as well as to compile aggregate usage statistics. For example, if you visit our Web Site from an advertisement on another site, the pixel tag will reference the cookie you received when you clicked on the advertisement. It may register this activity with a business partner to allow us to count the number of times or when an advertisement is accessed. This data is collected for use in our marketing and research. Personally identifiable information about you is not collected by pixel tracking, nor is any tracking information generated from the pixel tag allowed to be used for any other purpose other than to report Web Site activity to us. We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet. These companies employ cookie and Web beacon (also referred to as 1x1 pixel.gifs or action tags) technology to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for their clients. To do so, these companies may use anonymous information about your visits to the Web Site and other Web sites. This information can include: date/time of banner ad shown, your cookie and the first three octets of your IP address. These companies do not collect personally identifying information. This anonymous information can also be used for online preference marketing purposes. These third-party advertising companies may use information about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide ads about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice, and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies you may send an email to [email protected]

LINKED SITES
Our Web Site may contain links to other third party Web Sites (such as those of our marketing partners or advertisers), which may have privacy policies that differ from our own.

Accordingly, we recommend that you review the privacy policy posted on any Web Site that you may access through our Web Site.
CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT (COPPA) COMPLIANCE
This Web Site is not directed to, and Enterprise does not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13. We recommend that parents actively participate in their children’s use of the Internet. Pegasus17.com is intended for people eighteen years (18) or older. We have also made an effort to specifically limit Pegasus17.com’s appeal to people of age 18 years or older. Pegasus17.com will not knowingly collect any information from anyone under the age of 18 years. You must identify your age during the registration process. Pegasus17.com takes the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) as well as all FTC regulations very seriously.

That being said, we do not assume any responsibility for any misrepresentations regarding your age or parental consent when using this Site.
CHOICES YOU CAN MAKE ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION
We give you a number of choices about the collection, use and distribution of your information. For example, you must affirmatively request to receive e-mail from us, our Affiliates and/or business partners concerning information about special offers, promotions and new features, products and services. Every Enterprise e-mail will provide you with the opportunity to remove yourself from our e-mail list.
We will give you an opportunity to opt-out of the gathering of your personally identifiable information, specific uses of your personally identifiable information and any marketing promotions in accordance with the procedures set out in the section below, Correcting or Changing Your Information. By adjusting the settings in your browser, you can refuse to accept cookies or give yourself the opportunity to accept or reject cookies, or receive notice of cookies. Software programs are available that block cookies. Refusing cookies may impinge or block altogether your user experience by eliminating personalization or other features.

SECURITY PROCEDURES
We are very concerned with the security of your personally identifiable information and try to provide secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted over the Internet. Once we receive your information, we take steps that we believe are reasonably appropriate to protect the security of your data we collect from you online, both internally and from outsiders, from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, and to ensure the integrity of the data we collect. We use a combination of technological, physical, administrative and policy methods as well as organizational controls and non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements as we deem appropriate to protect this data. If you have a user name and password for any of the features on our Web Site, you have the responsibility of keeping your password secret. You should not reveal your password to anyone. We will not ask you in an unsolicited telephone call or e-mail for your password. In addition, you should take reasonable precautions when using a computer that is not your own or in a public setting.
