Where required by law, you may have the right to access, verify and amend the information Harley-Davidson has about you after Harley-Davidson has received your written request and authenticated your identity.
In some situations, Harley-Davidson may not be able to provide access to certain personal information as the right to access personal information is not absolute.

Despite Harley-Davidson’s efforts, errors sometimes do occur.

Retention and Destruction of Personal Information:
The amount of time Harley-Davidson will retain personal information varies, depending on the services Harley-Davidson has provided and the nature of the personal information that Harley-Davidson holds. Harley-Davidson retains personal information for such period as is necessary for Harley-Davidson to maintain sufficient information, so that Harley-Davidson may respond to any issues that arise later or as is required by law.
Legal requirements, however, may require us to retain some or all the personal information we hold for a period that is longer than that for which we might otherwise hold.
When personal information is no longer required by Harley-Davidson or by law, Harley-Davidson will either convert it into an aggregated non-identifying form or Harley-Davidson will appropriately destroy or erase the personal information in a manner that is in accordance with Harley-Davidson’s current policies and procedures.
