We may also share your personally identifiable information with third parties who provide services to us, our customers, or our web site visitors. Those third parties include authorized contractors, temporary employees and consultants, and other companies working with us (collectively, "agents"). Where we believe it to be appropriate (in our sole discretion), we will instruct our agents to refrain from disclosing or using your personal information for purposes other than services to you or PartsLogistics.

We use cookies in the operation of our site; specifically, we store session information for cart functionality, determining your user level, and other site functions. This information is stored by your browser, and is cleared when your browser is closed.

We like to keep our users informed about our company and Service through periodic mailings, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Newsletters to connect with our community of buyers and sellers.
• Announcements of special offers or promotions.
• Notification of updates and enhancements to or outages affecting the Service.

We honor the requests of users to be removed from our mailings. However, due to technical difficulties, human error, or other circumstances, the possibility exists that you may still accidentally receive email after you unsubscribe. In this unlikely event, please contact our technical support team to resolve the issue.

You control your information. We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the personal information that you have provided to us. After authenticating to the system, you can review, change, or delete the information that you have submitted. You may change any of your personal information in your account online at any time. We encourage you to promptly update your information if it changes.

You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past purchases for reasons of accountability and statistics-gathering, you cannot delete information associated with past purchases. Also, as a security measure we backup the data stored on our systems; as a result, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information would be completely removed from our databases.

This privacy statement may require modification to reflect new or improved site functionality, features, or under other circumstances. In such a case, PartsLogistics will post those changes to this Privacy Statement and other places we deem appropriate so that our users are always aware of what information we collect and how we use this information. Furthermore, information will be used in accordance with the version of the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.

In order to most efficiently serve you, established third party banking institutions handle credit card transactions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card-or other payment information-to process your order.
We also want you to understand the depth of the precautions that we take to ensure your security. These precautions include the following methods.

Secure Internet Transactions

PartsLogistics uses industry-standard secure server software (Secure Socket Layers) to protect your privacy. You are routed through the secure server upon logging in with the correct username and password.

There are several ways to make sure that you are browsing secure pages within PartsLogistics. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator indicate secure modes with the symbol of a closed padlock. Anytime this symbol appears, in either of the lower corners of your screen, your information is protected. You can also verify secure pages by checking the address, or URL, listed on the location bar. If there is an "s" after the "http" at the beginning of the address, you are browsing in a secure environment.

Personnel Security Precautions

Internally, we restrict access to personally identifiable information to employees who need access to the information in order to do their jobs. All employees working with this information are very limited in number and are committed to our privacy and security policies.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this site, please contact PartsLogistics by sending a letter to:
