There are instances where Midwest Scion Events requests personally identifiable information to provide the web site visitor a service or information, such as new vehicle information alerts, promotions and mailed brochures. Depending on the type of request, the information we collect may include your name, mailing address, email address, phone numbers, preferred contact method, year of birth, gender, income, marital status, education, and what service or information you may have requested.

From time to time, Midwest Scion Events may request information about you to enable you to participate in promotional activities, such as sweepstakes, contests, games, special events, blogs and chats ("Programs").

For example, we may send you email messages related to the Program, or for selection and notification of sweepstakes or contest winners. Your personal information may also be shared with our business partner, acting on Midwest Scion Event’s behalf, and may also be used by our business partner if you indicate your interest in receiving communications directly from that company. If you elect to receive communications from our business partner, your information will be used by that company in accordance with its policies and this privacy policy will not apply to that company's use of your information. Sometimes the rules, terms and conditions or disclaimers that apply to a particular Program include information on how we may use the personal information that you provide to us through your participation in the Program. If there is a conflict between the rules, terms and conditions that apply to a particular Program and this Policy, those applying to the particular Program will govern. Please review all of the information about a Program before you provide us with any personal information.

INFORMATION ABOUT PHISHING SCAMS
There have been noticeable increases in the number of suspicious e-mails claiming that the e-mail recipient has won a Toyota lottery or other promotion. Sometimes the e-mail claims that the recipient has won a new Toyota Prius. In order to claim the prize, the email asks that personal information (i.e. Full Name, Address, Nationality, Age, Gender, Occupation, Phone/Fax, and/or Country of Residence) be sent to a the Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail address. Samples of these hoax e-mails can be found at the following web site: http://www.hoax-slayer.com/toyota-car-promotions-scam.shtml. Note that these examples of the "phishing" hoax e-mails were not prepared by Toyota, all information and names contained in the hoax e-mails are fictitious, and any similarity to the names of actual people, including Toyota personnel, is entirely coincidental. This type of e-mail solicitation is known commonly as a "phishing" scam, with the primary objective being to obtain one's personal information. This information can then be utilized to steal a person's identity. For example, a "Toyota Lottery" phishing scam is often sent from Chinese (.cn), German (.de) or British (.co.uk) addresses but can originate from anywhere and look very official even to the most savvy of Internet users. Neither Toyota nor any other reputable business will ever ask you for personal information through an unsolicited e-mail. Recipients of suspicious e-mail like this should delete the message from their in-box and, if possible, update their e-mail filter settings to block emails from the e-mail address being used. The Federal Trade Commission (http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/spam/report.html) and the Antiphishing Workgroup (http://www.antiphishing.org/) are also good sources of information about these types of security threats and how they may be reported to the authorities.
