Certain visitors to carNAVi’s websites choose to interact with us in ways that require carNAVi to gather personally-identifying information.

We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
