ATC offers many goods and services through the ATC Web Site, including but not limited to the sale of aftermarket automotive products and logistics (supply chain management) services (collectively the "Service"). This Policy (i) covers ATC treatment of personally identifiable information collected when you are on the ATC Web Site and when you use the Service, and (ii) discloses ATC information gathering and dissemination practices for the ATC Web Site and the Service. ATC may, but is not obligated to, update this Policy from time to time, so please refer back to this page periodically.
1. What Information is Collected Through the Service? From Whom is it Collected? How is it Collected?
In the course of providing registered users (each a "User") with the Service, ATC needs to collect and maintain certain information. This Policy answers some questions about what information ATC collects, what ATC does with it, and how ATC protects it.
1.1. Private Information.
When Users register to use the Service, ATC collects the following types of information: (i) email addresses (which ATC may use from time to time to verify registration, to distribute news or information about ATC or the Service, or to communicate with Users regarding service issues, among other purposes); (ii) User First Name; (iii) User Middle Initial (optional); (iv) User Last Name; (v) User Street Address; (vi) User City; (vii) User State; (viii) User Zip Code; (ix) User Telephone Number; (x) User Occupation (optional); (xi) User’s Username; and (xii) User’s Password.
1.2. Aggregate Information.
Certain information that is not provided directly by anyone is collected by ATC regarding Users who browse the ATC Web Site. Aggregate Information includes, but is not limited to a User’s (i) Internet browser type (e.g., Internet Explorer 5.5); (ii) IP address; (iii) resolution settings; (iv) platform type; and (v) originating urls. ATC uses Aggregate Information to (a) help diagnose problems with ATC server(s); (b) measure usage of the ATC Web Site and the Service; (c) administer the Service and the ATC Web Site; (d) inform ATC partners as to the number of Users who fall into certain demographic categories; (e) provide ATC partners with information regarding which Users saw and clicked on certain advertisements on the ATC Web Site; or (f) perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior or Users to measure User demographics generally.
2. Cookies.
ATC may use cookies to store a User’s individual preferences and system parameters. Cookies are small electronic data files that ATC (or other Web Site providers) can store on a User’s hard drive for record keeping purposes. ATC will not store Private Information in a cookie. Cookies may be used on the ATC Web Site, by way of example only and without limitation, to limit the number of times a User would have to enter a password. The use of cookies is standard in the Internet industry and many Web Sites use them. In addition, a User may modify his or her browser’s settings to notify such User whenever a Web Site is going to deposit a cookie on such User’s hard drive. The notification option generally gives the User the opportunity to decide whether to accept or refuse a cookie in each instance.
3. Who is Collecting the Information?
All Information collected on the ATC Web Site and as part of the Service, is collected and maintained primarily by ATC and Google Inc.. ATC affiliates or sister companies, or third party contractors involved in the processing of a User’s transaction (such as ATC payment processing and fulfillment partners), and law enforcement and government agencies may receive and maintain such Information as well.
4. Is the Information Shared With Anyone?
ATC does not disclose any Private Information about its customers to anyone except as necessary to perform the service you request and/or as permitted by law. We do not sell or exchange customer lists or customer information for marketing purposes. We collect, use and verify the information we believe necessary to complete authorized transactions. Customer information is utilized to evaluate, process, administer and enforce the transactions Users request and authorize.
We restrict access to customer’s Private Information to those employees who need to know the information in the course of providing the transactions Users request and authorize. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in an effort to secure your Private Information. We afford prospective and former customers the same protections as our existing customers in this regard.
5. How Can Users Access, Change, or Delete Private Information.
Users can change, edit, delete, or update Private Information by contacting customer service or sending an email and phone number to info@ATC.com.
6. Links To / From Other Sites.
This Policy applies only to information collected while a User is on the Site. The ATC Web Site contains links to other Web Sites and, conversely, other Web Sites may contain links to the ATC Web Site. ATC may not be aware of and is not responsible for the privacy policies, practices, or content of such other Web Sites. ATC encourages Users to read and become familiar with the privacy policies maintained by such other Web Sites.
7. How is User Information Protected / Security Measures.
ATC takes reasonable precautions to protect the information of its Users. When the Service requests sensitive User information (including, without limitation, Private Information) the information is encrypted during transmission. ATC database of User information resides on ATC servers behind various firewalls to protect against loss, misuse, theft, and unauthorized modification, deletion, or alteration of the information contained in such database. In addition, ATC has taken preventive measures designed to restrict access to sensitive data and Private Information, as well as to detect, police, and prohibit certain communications and operations by unauthorized users. Only employees and other third party contractors are granted access to such information. ATC makes no claim or warranty as to the security or impenetrability of ATC system under unusual circumstances or its resilience to future sophisticated attacks.
8. When Might Information be Disclosed as Permitted by Law.
ATC may disclose Private Information to unrelated parties in special cases when ATC has reason to believe that that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against a person or persons who may be causing injury to, or interference with, the rights or property of ATC, Users, or any third party. In addition, ATC may disclose information about individual Users to law enforcement agencies, judicial or government authorities, or to other individuals or entities in response applicable laws and to government or law enforcement requests, subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.
9. Information of Minors and Children.
ATC is not targeting the ATC Web Site or the Service to children, and ATC does not knowingly collect contact information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not email ATC, contact the ATC Web Site, attempt to use the Service, submit information to the ATC Web Site, or ask ATC to email you. If you are under the age of 18, you should get permission from a parent or guardian before you email ATC, contact the ATC Web Site, attempt to use the Service, submit information to the ATC Web Site, or ask ATC to email you.
