E-mail Marketing

You may opt-out from any email marketing by using the unsubscribe links at the bottom of the marketing emails.

You may opt-out from any SMS marketing by using the suppression codes located on the marketing text messages.

Phishing

Phishing is a method used by fraudsters to deceive someone into giving sensitive information. In most cases, phishing will take the form of emails, which purport to be from a known company and ask the recipient to send their private information. This information is then used for identity theft and fraud.

Lexus will only ask you to send personal details by email if it is responding to a query you have sent online, and these details are needed to answer your query properly. In this case, there will be a unique reference number in Lexus email to you, which refers to your original query. Lexus will never ask you to send any personal details by email unless you have contacted Lexus first. If you have not contacted Lexus, please ignore any email claiming to be from Lexus which asks for personal details and let us know about it.

If Lexus ever requires your personal information other than when you have already contacted Lexus with a query, for security reasons we will ask you to give us a call.
