PRIVACY/SECURITY POLICY
Auto Parts and Stuff regards the privacy and security of user information as a
critical component of the products and services that we offer on our web site(s)
(collectively, the "Site"). The following privacy statement ("Privacy
Statement") discloses our policies on the collection, use, and disclosure of
information on the Site.
Information Collected
Auto Parts and Stuff may
collect both Aggregate Information and Personally Identifiable Information on
the Site. "Aggregate Information" is information that describes the habits and
other behavioral traits of the users of the Site as a group, but does not
indicate the identity of a particular user. Generally, this information is
collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "Cookies", "IP
addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer. The use of
"Cookies" on the site is explained in more detail below in the IP Address and
Cookies section.
"Personally Identifiable Information" refers to
information you voluntarily provide to Auto Parts and Stuff that tells us specifically
who you are, such as your name, email address, company name, address or
telephone number.
Use of Aggregate Information
Auto Parts and Stuff may
use Aggregate Information to perform statistical analyses of the collective
characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure
user behavior regarding specific areas of the Site and to analyze how and where
best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which parts of
the Site are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the
content and services appropriately.
We may use Aggregate Information to
help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Site and for product
monitoring and improvement.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Auto Parts and Stuff does not collect Personally Identifiable Information about you
except when you specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis, as
prompted by the Site in the circumstances described below.
(a) Required
Disclosure: Auto Parts and Stuff will disclose Personally Identifiable Information
without your permission if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the requirements of the law or
comply with legal process served on Auto Parts and Stuff or the Site; (b) protect and
defend the rights or property of Auto Parts and Stuff; (c) enforce the Auto Parts and Stuff
Terms of Use; or (d) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of the Site or the public.
(b) Email Promotions: If you

Auto Parts and Stuff, we will ask you to provide Auto Parts and Stuff with your email address.
At any time after you join the newsletter mailing list, you may unsubscribe if
you no longer wish to receive these emails. You may unsubscribe by clicking on
the link provided at the bottom of every newsletter or promotional email sent to
you by Auto Parts and Stuff. Alternately, you may log in to your account on Auto Parts and Stuff
and change your newsletter preference.
(c) Sweepstakes and Contests: We
may ask you for Personally Identifiable Information when you enter a sweepstakes
or contest sponsored by Auto Parts and Stuff. If you enter a sweepstakes or contest on
the Site, we will use the Personally Identifiable Information you provide to
contact you only in the event that you win.
(d) Product and Service
Purchases/Inquiries: We ask for Personally Identifiable Information when you
purchase a product or service through Auto Parts and Stuff. When you purchase a product
or service, Auto Parts and Stuff will collect your credit card and shipping information
for billing purposes. Auto Parts and Stuff does not store, use or share your credit card
information for any other purpose. Auto Parts and Stuff uses security techniques,
including encryption and secure servers, to help protect against unauthorized
access to transmitted information used for billing purposes.
Auto Parts and Stuff
will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you when you request
additional information about a particular product or service listed on the site,
so that an Auto Parts and Stuff sales representative or local partner is able to contact
you to provide the information you have requested.
(e) Service/Support
Related Correspondence: If you register to use Auto Parts and Stuff to purchase a
product from this site, Auto Parts and Stuff may use your email contact information to
deliver customer support-related service information, as applicable. We will not
send you unrelated promotional emails unless you have specifically asked to
receive them. If you register to use an Auto Parts and Stuff product or otherwise
purchase a product from this site, you will not be able to unsubscribe from
receiving customer support-related service emails, as these emails are
considered part of the service you have chosen.
(f) Correspondence: If
you contact Auto Parts and Stuff, we may keep a record of that correspondence. If you
communicate with Auto Parts and Stuff via email, we may keep a record of your email
address, but we will not disclose your email address except as permitted under
this Privacy Statement.
(g) Who Views Your Personal Information:
Auto Parts and Stuff may share your personal information with companies that perform
services for us, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal
mail, analyzing customer data, processing credit card payments and investigating
fraudulent activity. They have access to personal information needed to perform
their functions, but may not disclose your personally identifiable information
for other purposes. All personal information is stored on servers owned by other
companies. Only Auto Parts and Stuff has the right to access this information.
Minors Under 18
Minors under the age of 18 cannot make a purchase from
Auto Parts and Stuff. Minors under 18 also cannot become an Auto Parts and Stuff registered
user, or use any service that asks for personal information. Our site is not
designed for minors, and we do not wish to collect any personal information from
minors under 18. Our policy is designed to protect minors.
We take
minor's privacy very seriously. If a minor under 18 registers with us and we
discover that the registered user is under 18, we will delete their
registration. We will send an email message to the user if we do this. If minors
under 18 would like to make a purchase, they must ask their parents to place the
order for them.
Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information
Auto Parts and Stuff feels strongly that your Personally Identifiable Information should
only be seen by you, unless you choose to share it with others. We will never
sell, rent, license or exchange Personally Identifiable Information to or with a
third party without your permission, except as permitted under this Privacy
Statement.

stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public.
All of our employees are dedicated to maintaining and upholding your privacy and

industry-standard practices to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee, and
you should not expect, that your Personally Identifiable Information or private

parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or stored information.
We cannot and do not assume any responsibility or liability for any information
you submit to us or your or a third party's use or misuse of information
transmitted or received during use of the Site. You are responsible for taking
all reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person shall have access to

responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.
Additionally, if you make a purchase from a store or merchant listed on or

the case of attempted illegal use of the site as well as to guard against
spamming. Auto Parts and Stuff may use "Cookies" - a Cookie is a text file that is
placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to
