Does anyone have experience (preferably in CA) moving data from one dealership to another (same brand) from a legal standpoint. I'm reaching out to ComplyAuto as well, but i'm looking for some legal guidance on what we can and cant do when it comes to transferring customer data and marketing to them from the new dealership crm (email, social and direct mail).
