Overview

AutoPartsPlace.com values your privacy as much as you do. We are also truly appreciative of the trust you give to our site. We therefore deem it important that you know how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide to us.

By visiting our site, AutoPartsPlace.com, you are hereby accepting the practices stated in this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect Information:

We want to make things easier and more convenient for you. The information that has been collected from our customers thus aids us in personalizing and enhancing your shopping experience. On the other hand, you can also opt not to provide certain personal information. Doing this might prevent you from taking full advantage of some of our website features, however.

Whenever you visit AutoPartsPlace.com, we receive and store any information you enter while browsing through our website. The following are some of the instances when we are able to gather information from you:

      •   Whenever you search for a certain product using our search engine
      •   Whenever you place an order
      •   Whenever you communicate with us by phone or e-mail
      •   Whenever you answer one of our questionnaires

As a result, you might supply us with such information as:

      •   Name, Address, and Phone Numbers
      •   Financial Information (Credit or Bank Account Numbers)
      •   Social Security and Driver's License Numbers
      •   Transactional information based on your activities on our site
      •   Content you generate from your account (shipping, billing, community discussions, chats, dispute resolution, and correspondences)

We also collect and analyze data about you whenever you interact with our website. These data include:

      •  Uniform Resource Locator (URL) click stream to, through, and from AutoPartsPlace.com including date, time, and cookie number
      •  The product you viewed or searched for
      •   The phone number you used to call our 800 number

We only use your IP address to diagnose problems on our server as well as to administer our website. We also track certain data about your activities while browsing AutoPartsPlace.com . These include:

      •   Browser type and version
      •   Operating system and platform
      •   Statistics on page views
      •   Site traffic
      •   Ad data
      •   Standard web log information
      •   Purchase history

These data are only used for internal research concerning your interests, so we may better understand and serve you. If you are already a registered customer of our site, we link this automatically gathered data to your personally identifiable information. We could also collect and measure session information like download errors, length of visits, page response times, as well as the methods you used to browse away from our page.

We may also obtain information about you from other sources and then consequentially add it to your account's information. Some of these sources include:

      •   Updated delivery and address information from carriers and third parties
      •   Account and page-view information from merchants we have co-branded with
      •   Search term as well as search result information (including paid listings)

Supplemental data coming from third parties might also include credit history information from credit bureaus. We use this information to help prevent and detect any signs of fraud. We also use this data to offer certain credit or financial services to some of our customers.

Cookies

As said earlier, we also store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. In this sense, we also use "cookies" from your web browser. Through these alphanumeric identifiers your browser creates, our website assigns you a unique customer code and records the activities you have done on our site. That way, whenever you return, we can identify you easily as one of our customers. Cookies also help us to recall the activities you have done in the past as well as your account data; this tailors our site elements and special offers. However, the cookies we get do not retain your billing information, nor does it retain any personally identifiable information about you.

Note that a majority of browsers accept cookies as a default feature. It also allows users to reject cookies by modifying their browser's preferences. If you have set up your browser to reject cookies, then some aspects of our site may not work properly.

Also, this privacy policy only covers the use of cookies by AutoPartsPlace.com and does not cover the use of cookies by any other advertisers.

Third-Party Advertising Companies

AutoPartsPlace.com may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. Some of these companies may use an action tag or cookies to track your response to their advertisement as well as to measure the effectiveness of their advertising. Also, they may also use these to award incentives or points to their members who respond to their advertisements. However, we do not have any access or control over such cookies. Also, our site does not gain any access to any of your information through action tags

Our site may enter into a cooperative marketing arrangement with independent companies. Under these arrangement, AutoPartsPlace.com may display the name (or brand) of the independent company. Any identifiable information you provide while you are on our site will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This information will not be shared with any cooperative marketing company unless our site notifies you.

How We Use Information:

For us to execute certain business functions (e.g. order fulfillment, e-mail delivery, etc.) our company sometimes hires other companies to perform such actions on our behalf. That is because these companies have access to the information needed to perform such actions. However, these companies are required to keep everything secure and confidential as well as not to use this prerogative other than to complete any contractual requirements to AutoPartsPlace.com . So depending on your chosen method of payment, our company may provide your personal data to a third-party payment processor

Payment through credit card or any other similar form of payment you submit is used in billing for the specific transaction that has been submitted unless otherwise disclosed. This payment information is stored on our secure servers to allow refunds (where it applies) or to respond to customer inquiries. After a completed online transaction, you may be presented with third-party products or services you may be interested in. Such products are offered and supplied by independent companies not owned or operated by our site. If you choose to select one of these offers, you will then be redirected to the third-party's site. Any information or transaction you had with the third party will be governed by the policies of that party, however. Also, we will not provide any payment details you had with us to these third-party sites unless you authorize us to do so.

AutoPartsPlace.com might use aggregate, non-personally identifiable information for any purposes we may deem necessary. For example, we might use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website as well as to share with our advertisers for marketing and promotions. In these instances, we do not divulge anything that could be used to identify you our customer. Also, we do not use nor share such information provided to us in ways unrelated to the ones described in this policy without providing you an opportunity to refuse such operations.

Future Operations

It may be possible in the future that our site, AutoPartsPlace.com , or any of its assets may be acquired by another company. It is also possible that our site may partner with or purchase another company. In the event that this occurs, we may have to transfer customer information to the new business entity as one of AutoPartsPlace.com assets. When this event happens, we will update you with this change in ownership, so you can control your personal information.

Contests

Our site may sometimes provide you with an opportunity to participate in our contests or surveys. If you decide to do so, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these events is completely voluntary, however. As such, you have a choice whether or not you want to disclose any identifiable information.

How We Comply with the Law and Fraud Protection:

In our sole discretion, and if we deem necessary, we may collect and disclose any information (including personally identifiable information) to comply with any applicable regulation, law, legal process, or governmental request. We may also collect and possibly share such information or any other information that is available to us in order to investigate, prevent, or take legal action concerning illegal activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person or otherwise required by law. We might also exchange information, which also includes personally identifiable information, with other companies and organizations for risk reduction and credit fraud protection.

How We Secure Data Encryption

AutoPartsPlace.com uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which is supported by the vast majority of Internet browsers. SSL works best when you are using the latest 128-bit encryption version of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

More importantly, SSL technology is the highest level of security available in the internet because it automatically encrypts information traveling over the web. It also verifies the identity of transacting servers through digital signatures and certificates. Lastly, SSL also confirms and maintains the integrity of message content throughout transmission.

AutoPartsPlace.com has a minimum requirement when it comes to transactions. The standard 40-bit or 56-bit encryption supported by the Internet Explorer 5.0 browser is required among users who wish to conduct transactions with us. However, if you are not using such a browser, please refer to your browser's documentation for information on its security features.

Also, we transmit the entire credit card number to appropriate credit card companies during transaction processing. However, in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, we only reveal the last five digits of your credit card number when confirming an order.

On Credit Card Security

We guarantee you that we will protect you whenever you shop at AutoPartsPlace.com, so you will not have to worry about credit card safety. Therefore, every transaction you make at AutoPartsPlace.com will be safe. This means that you will not have to pay if unauthorized charges are made to your credit card as a result of shopping on our site. By using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, we can ensure you that only AutoPartsPlace.com can read your personal information. Also, we only reveal the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. However, we will transmit the complete credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.

Once you click on the "checkout" button, make sure the website's URL always begins with https://www.AutoPartsPlace.com/ . The "s" in "https://" means you are logging into a secure page. If the URL does not have an "https," then you are not on any AutoPartsPlace.com page.

Also, when you enter a secured portion of our site, an image of a solid key or a closed lock should appear at the bottom bar of your browser. If you click on this image, a small popup window should appear. It should display site-security information. This certificate guarantees that your personal information is being transmitted in an encrypted and secure form to an AutoPartsPlace.com web server

Finally, your personal information is protected by your password. Once you have registered for an account at AutoPartsPlace.com, make sure you keep your password confidential. Also, no representative of AutoPartsPlace.com will ever ask you for your security password. Your password's confidentiality is yours to protect.

On Policy Changes

AutoPartsPlace.com may revise this policy occasionally. If we have done so, we will post such changes to this policy. In line with this, it is important that you, our customer, review it frequently. Remember that we do our best to make your shopping experience only easy and hassle-free; we will never change our policies and practices to make your experience less safe and protected.
