We share your data with two types of affiliate partners outside of the Hyundai organization: authorized Hyundai dealers and select third parties such as vendors and suppliers, 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.
