Scope & Purpose
We live in a great moment in time when all kinds of technology and innovation can make our journeys safer, more convenient, and even more enjoyable. Your information is part of what makes those technologies possible. Moreover, it may improve the services you receive from them. This notice describes the data we collect, use and share from these technologies and services.
Your personal data. Here’s what we collect and how it’s used.
Here’s an at-a-glance summary of the types of information we collect. We’re talking about data from two types of sources:
• Personal info we get directly from you when you use a Hyundai vehicle, or technologies and services that may be linked to the vehicle owner or any registered user.
• Information you provide through any vehicle technology, service subscription or registration.
This supplements the Hyundai Motor America Privacy Policy, and does not apply to mobile apps or websites unrelated to the Vehicle Technologies and Services.

Supporting our general business operations
Sometimes data collection is necessary for the administration of our general business, accounting, record keeping and legal functions; in connection with a transfer of our business or assets; or as part of our routine business administration, such as employee training, compliance auditing or similar internal activities.
Read our full policy on how we use data for our operations
We share your data with three types of partners: affiliates, service providers and suppliers, and select third parties such as Hyundai dealers who use such data to perform services on our behalf. We may share information like driving data and geolocation data, which they may use to better serve you, provide relevant offers, or respond to your requests. Otherwise, your information remains private unless we have your consent to share it.
The more you know about your information and your choices, the better. You have the right to access the information we have on you, opt out of marketing communications, and more. To find out more about your rights regarding your information and privacy, please check out the Hyundai Privacy Policy for further details.
We reserve the right to change our policy at any time, and will post any changes on our policy pages. Feel free to check back with us. If you have any concerns about your privacy at Hyundai, please visit our Contact Us page.
