Who we are
Harley-Davidson, Inc. operates this site for itself and its subsidiaries and other affiliates ("Harley-Davidson"), including Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Buell Distribution Corporation and/or Buell Motorcycle Company (referred to as "Harley-Davidson/Buell"). This privacy policy applies to the practices of Harley-Davidson/Buell with respect to the information it collects about you online at www.harley-davidson.com or www.buell.com. It does not apply to the practices of Harley-Davidson/Buell with respect to information it collects about you offline (e.g., through post cards or at rallies, demos, etc.).
This Web site is located in the United States and Harley-Davidson/Buell may collect, store and process your personal information in the United States or in other countries outside of the country in which you live. The United States and/or these countries may not offer a level of privacy protection for your personal information as great as is offered in the country in which you live. Please read this privacy policy carefully.
The information we collect
Harley-Davidson/Buell collects your Customer Identifiable Information if you visit this Web site and request information regarding one of our programs, products or services, enroll as a member in our communities (e.g., H.O.G. or BRAG), request other information (e.g., investor information), or respond to promotional offers. "Customer Identifiable Information" means any information relating to a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, from that information by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. The Customer Identifiable Information we collect about you can include name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, driver's license number, IP address, which Web sites you come from, which pages you visited at this Web site, and other information about your online activities on this Web site. This information may be merged with other information Harley-Davidson already knows, such as whether you are the owner of a Harley-Davidson® or Buell® motorcycle or a member of H.O.G.® or BRAG®, etc., or information available from other sources, such as our distributors and dealers.
How we use the information
Harley-Davidson/Buell will collect and use your Customer Identifiable Information to respond to your inquiries; market and sell to you Harley-Davidson/Buell products, programs, and services; and market and sell to you Harley-Davidson/Buell branded products, programs, and services offered by its distributors, dealers, rental operators, and Business Alliance Companies. "Business Alliance Companies" are third party businesses that have entered into a contract with Harley-Davidson/Buell to market, offer, sell, distribute, endorse, or sponsor a Harley-Davidson/Buell branded product, program, or service.
Harley-Davidson/Buell may also use Customer Identifiable Information to conduct other legitimate business activities, such as protecting the security of its Web sites and Harley-Davidson/Buell's networks, guarding against potential liability, engaging in debt collection, preventing fraud, responding to a court order or subpoena, and complying with law or a legally permitted inquiry by a government agency or regulator.
Harley-Davidson/Buell may transfer your Customer Identifiable Information to third parties who may use your Customer Identifiable Information to facilitate the purposes mentioned above. These third parties may include Harley-Davidson/Buell's distributors, dealers, Business Alliance Companies, advisors, and rental operators, companies providing products and services (such as data processors) to Harley-Davidson/Buell and, to the extent required by law, regulatory authorities.
Harley-Davidson/Buell is in the process of requiring those third parties to whom we transfer your Customer Identifiable Information to use your Customer Identifiable Information only within the context of their agreement(s) with Harley-Davidson/Buell, and only for the purposes stated above. At present, however, not all third parties are so bound and some third parties may use your Customer Identifiable Information for other purposes. You should be aware that these third parties may process and use your Customer Identifiable Information in the United States or in other countries outside of the country in which you live. Such countries may not offer a level of privacy protection for Customer Identifiable Information similar to that offered in your country.
Finally, in the event that all or any part of the Harley-Davidson/Buell corporate family is sold to a third party, we may transfer Customer Identifiable information to the third party buyer as part of the assets of the business.

Our use of "cookies"
As is the case with many sites, when you visit our site, we may place "cookies" or other devices on your computer. For example, when you first choose a country on the opening page of this Web site, a cookie may be placed on your computer so that the next time you visit this site, the country version you chose earlier will be automatically loaded. We will also use cookies and other devices to determine which pages or information you find most useful or interesting at this Web site and for other purposes from time to time. However, we will not use "cookies" or other devices to follow your click stream on the Internet generally.
Most browsers permit you to refuse to accept a "cookie" offered by a Web site. You will not be denied access to any part of www.harley-davidson.com on account of your refusal to accept a "cookie," but your transactions through this Web site may be delayed due to the time it takes you to re-enter certain information.
Our approach to data security
To prevent unauthorized access to your Customer Identifiable Information, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures.
Our commitment to children's privacy
We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of children. For this reason, we do not collect or maintain information from children we know are under 13 except as permitted by law.
Information Not Collected or Maintained by Harley-Davidson/Buell
Harley-Davidson/Buell's distributors, dealers, rental operators and Business Alliance Companies are independent from Harley-Davidson/Buell. However, due to our business relationship with them, they are referenced throughout this Web site. In some cases, they may even collect your Customer Identifiable Information through this Web site. For example, you can provide your contact information to a rental operator on the authorized rentals section of this site. Your information is transmitted directly to the rental operator - we do not collect it in our databases.
In addition, this Web site may offer promotions that are sponsored by or co-sponsored with other third parties. By virtue of their sponsorship, these third parties may obtain Customer Identifiable Information that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the activity.
Please note: Contacting your local Harley-Davidson/Buell office, the H.O.G. or BRAG office, or Investor Relations will not affect your Customer Identifiable Information contained in databases maintained by Harley-Davidson's distributors, dealers, rental operators, Business Alliance Companies, persons and companies providing services to Harley-Davidson/Buell and other third parties. We have no control over their use of your information, and we encourage you to contact them directly if you have any questions or concerns regarding their use of your Customer Identifiable Information.
Links
To improve your Web experience, and to offer you products in which you might be interested, we provide links to Business Alliance Companies, Harley-Davidson distributors, dealers, and other third-party sites. When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred out of our Web site and connected to the Web site of the organization or company that you selected. Because Harley-Davidson does not control these sites, even if an affiliation exists between our Web site and a third party site, you are encouraged to review their individual privacy notices. If you visit a site that is linked to our site, you should consult that site's privacy policy before providing any Customer Identifiable Information.
Changes in practices
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and any changes will be posted here. If we materially change our privacy practices to permit us to share more information about you than we stated we would share, or to permit disclosures of information about you to additional types of parties, we will take reasonable measures to inform you of these changes in advance. You will then have a reasonable opportunity to contact us and request that we do not use your information for direct marketing purposes or share your information with third parties for direct marketing purposes.
