The Car Store respects your privacy and is committed to protect the
personal information that you share with us. Generally, you can browse through
our website without giving us any information about yourself. When we do need
your personal information to provide services that you request or when you
choose to provide us with your personal information, this policy describes how
we collect and use your personal information.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information
that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a
first and last name, email address, a home, postal or other physical address,
other contact information, title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry,
personal interests, other information when needed to provide a service you
requested. When you browse our website, you do so anonymously. We do not collect
personal information, including your email address. We do log your IP address
(the Internet address of your computer) to give us an idea of which part of our
website you visit and how long you spend there. But we do not link your IP
address to any personal information.
The Car Store collects personal information when you use certain
The Car Store products or services, when you ask to be included in an
email or other mailing list, or when you submit your information to The Car Store for any other reason. From time to time, The Car Store receives
personal information from business partners and vendors. The Car Store
only uses such information if it has been collected in accordance with
acceptable privacy practices consistent with this Policy and applicable laws.
Notice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you
at the point of collection the purpose for the collection. The Car Store
does not intend to transfer your personal information to third parties without
your consent, except under the limited conditions described under the discussion
entitled Information Sharing and Disclosure below. If you choose to provide us
with your personal information, we may transfer that information, within
The Car Store or to our third party service providers.
How We Use Information Collected
The Car Store uses
information for several general purposes: to fulfill your requests for certain
products and services, to personalize your experience on our website, to keep
you up to date on the latest product announcements, special offers or other
information we think you would like to hear about, and to better understand your
needs and provide you with better services. We may also use your information to
send you, or to have our business partners send you, direct marketing
information or contact you for market research.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Your personal information is
never shared outside The Car Store without your permission, except under
conditions explained below. Inside The Car Store, data is stored in
controlled servers with limited access. The Car Store may send your
personal information to other companies or people under any of the following
circumstances: when we have your consent to share the information; we need to
share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; we
need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of The Car Store to provide a product or service to you (we will only provide those
companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are
prohibited from using that information for any other purpose); or we want to
keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates,
special offers or other information we think you'd like to hear about either
from us or from our business partners. We will also disclose your personal
information if required to do so by law, to enforce our Terms and Conditions, or
in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or our websites.
Data Security
The Car Store safeguards the security of the
data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. In
certain areas of our websites, The Car Store uses industry-standard
SSL-encryption to enhance the security of data transmissions. While we strive to
protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the
information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to
protect your personal data when you are on the Internet.
Third Party Sites
The Car Store's website may contain links
to other sites. The Car Store does not share your personal information
with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We
encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use
your personal information we will make that information available by posting a
