Pierre Part Store Privacy Policy

We know that you care how your information is used, and we appreciate your trust that we will use it carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting pierrepartstore.com, you are accepting the privacy policy described below.

I. What information do we collect?

Information You Provide. We receive and may store information you enter, for example, when you supply information such as your name, address, phone number or email. You can choose not to provide certain information, however, then you might not be able to take advantage of some of the features of the website. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, improving our website, and communicating with you. In addition, if you choose, we can keep you up-to-date on sales, changes to the store, and upcoming events. Please see the �opt-in/opt-out� information (Section IV) of this policy.
Cookies. Like many websites, we use "cookies". Cookies are small files that we transfer to your hard drive that allow us to recognize you and to provide you with a customized Internet experience. If you do not want us to use cookies, you can easily disable them by going to the toolbar of your web browser, and clicking on the �help� button. Follow the instructions that will prevent the browser from accepting cookies, or set the browser to inform you when you receive a new cookie. In addition, you may visit this and other websites anonymously through the use of utilities provided by other private companies.
Other Information. Every computer has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. The IP address of a computer is used to log visits to the website. In addition, we automatically collect other information such as browser types, operating systems, and the URL addresses of sites clicked to and from this site.

II. How do we use your information?

Inquiry Responses. We use your email address, mailing address, or phone number to respond to your request. The method used to respond to your request depends upon which preferred contact method you chose when submitting your inquiry (phone, postal mail, or email).
Special Offers. We may send you special offers from time to time, unless you choose to �opt-out� of receiving such offers. The offers come directly through us. We do not share your information with third-party companies. Please see the �opt-in/opt-out� selection at the end of this policy.
Law Enforcement. If we receive a lawful court order to release account or other personal information then we will comply with the law. We will also release information when necessary to protect the life, safety or property of others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Abuse. We use the IP address and timestamp on inquiries to track abuse. This aides in monitoring the security of our website.

III. How do we protect the security of your information?

We use a firewall to protect against unlawful intrusion.
We limit access to your information on a �need to know� basis.
No system can guarantee absolute security, just as the finest lock can not guarantee physical security. However, we take every reasonable precaution to assure that your data is secure.

IV. Opt-in and Opt-out

It is your choice whether to receive emails or special offers from us. We utilize a double opt-in newsletter system. When you signup to join our newsletter, you are sent an email with a link asking you to confirm your subscription to our newsletter. You will not be added to our list until you confirm your subscription. In addition, we log the IP address of all subscriptions to help protect you in case someone does try to add you and legal action would be necessary to protect your rights.

V. Children

The Pierre Part Store does not collect personal information from minors. Our policy of not collection personal information from minors is in compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). You can view the full act at the FTC's (Federal Trade Commission) website by clicking here.
