Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, Colton Auto Supply Warehouse (owners and operators of www.coltonautosupply.com) has developed this Privacy Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, maintain, communicate, disclose and make use of the personally identifiable information (PII) you entrust to us. We are committed to conducting our business ethically, in accordance with the following principles to ensure that all PII is responsibly protected and maintained.
USE OF PII - When you purchase products or services through our website, as part of the retail process, we collect the PII you provide, such as your name, address, phone number and email address solely for the objective of completing the retail process, unless required by law for additional purposes.
We will protect PII with reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copy, use or modification.
Upon request, we will make additional information about our procedures and practices relating to the management of PII readily available to you.
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION: As part of the retail and order fulfillment processes, we will send you communications via e-mail or may need to contact you via phone to verify order information. By providing us your PII for the purpose of completing a sales transaction, including returns or exchanges, you imply consent for us to use your PII for such business purposes. We do not spam. On occasion, we reserve the right to send you post-sale e-mails requesting your feedback about our online store, our products, or your experience shopping with us.
