Privacy
Policy
AutoPoint
is dedicated to establishing the highest standards for privacy, security,
credibility and reliability. We present this policy to give you a clear
understanding of how we operate our Online Service and how we handle your
personal information.
This
privacy policy may be revised periodically. When we make significant
changes that affect our collection and use of your personal information or our
security practices, we will require a renewed acceptance of this
agreement. We recommend you read our privacy policy whenever you are
prompted to accept a new version of this agreement in case you missed our
notice or have not registered for a service or feature of the Online Service
previously.
Registration
You
must be a registered subscriber to use the Online Service. Additionally,
we may require you to register further information for certain services,
including our e-mail subscriptions, discussion boards, specific information
tools and other current or planned features. When you use these features,
we will clearly disclose what information is required, what information is
optional and how that information may be used.
We
use information that we gather in aggregate form only. In other words, we
combine the information with data collected from other individuals to produce anonymous,
aggregated statistical information. We collect and use demographic or
repair information in order to improve the content of our Online Service.
We also may share this anonymous, aggregated information, which does not
identify individuals, with partners, or other third parties. In instances
where third parties may receive anonymous, aggregated user information
collected on our Online Service, our agreements with the third parties
generally provide that the third parties will not use the anonymous, aggregated
user information to identify individual users or sell, disclose or provide
access to any user information collected on our Online Service that would
identify any individual or connect any individual to specific repair data.
AutoPoint
will not disclose to third parties any identifying personal information
gathered from you during registration for e-mails and discussion boards and
other features unless (1) we tell you how your information will be used and you
give AutoPoint specific permission to share this information or (2) AutoPoint
is required to disclose such information by any applicable law or legal process
(like a subpoena or court order). Where we disclose identifying personal
information to third parties with your authorization, we will require the
recipient to use the information only for the purpose provided.
Security
of Information
We
commit to use security procedures to protect personal information you submit to
us from misuse or unauthorized disclosure. The personal information that
you submit to us is stored in our database behind an electronic firewall. You
can access your personal information only by using a password. We
encourage you to change your password regularly and not to share it with
anyone.
Access
to the data within AutoPoint is limited to employees who need to maintain the
database and who also use passwords for that access, as well as outside vendors
who may occasionally assist us in maintaining and improving our hardware and
software tools.
AutoPoint
makes every effort to safeguard your personal information. However, like
other Internet services, we cannot guarantee that it is completely secure from
people who might attempt to evade security measures or intercept transmissions
over the Internet.
Similarly,
we cannot completely ensure the privacy of e-mail communications to and from
our Online Service because they are not encrypted and, therefore, not
secure. These communications, like most Internet e-mail, could be
intercepted without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to or from
our Online Service. This includes e-mail you send to us through our
various mailboxes, our e-mails for specific information e-mailed from our
Online Service to you or others. If you are concerned about your privacy,
we suggest that you do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you
consider sensitive.
Privacy
Concerns
If
you have any concerns about the security or privacy of your personal
identifiable information on the Online Service, please contact us at service@AutoPoint.com
or send a written notification to:

Attention: Customer Service
Surveys,
Questionnaires and Polls
When
you respond to surveys, questionnaires or polls on our Online Service, we may,
at times, ask you for demographic information such as your gender or age.
This information is collected only as anonymous, aggregated information and is
used for statistical purposes. Otherwise, we do not collect or store your
personal responses.
Contests
When
we run a contest, we may ask for personal information when you enter the
contest. If so, we will describe in each instance why we are asking for
that personal information and how we plan to use that information.
Children
We
will not knowingly allow children under the age of 18 to register on our Online
Service for any purpose or to access any features that require
registration. If we learn that we inadvertently have collected
identifying personal information from a child under the age of 18, we will
promptly delete that information from our system.
Leaving
AutoPoint
This
privacy policy applies only as long as you use the Online Service. Once
you terminate the Online Service, we have no control over your privacy or
security issues.
Throughout
the Online Service, you may see links that can lead you to another site.
Effect
of Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is not intended to and does not create any contractual or legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
