When reasonably necessary to fulfill a transaction, request, manufacturer program, warranty matter, incentive, financing request, service request, or other customer-initiated interaction, we may disclose appropriate information to Subaru of America, Inc. or other companies involved in providing the requested product or service.
This does not permit SMS/text messaging opt-in data or consent to be shared with Subaru, an affiliate, or another party for that party's own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may work with third parties that provide products, website functionality, dealership services, advertising technology, or other features.
Information may be provided to such parties when necessary to deliver a service you request, when you separately consent to the disclosure, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
This provision does not permit North Park Subaru to sell, rent, transfer, or share SMS/text messaging opt-in data or consent with third parties, affiliates, business partners, or lead generators for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
With Your Consent
We may disclose personal information when you specifically direct us to do so or otherwise provide consent for the disclosure.
