Effective Date: Dec 1, 2020
Your privacy is important to Best Parts so we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, and transfer your personal information. We take your privacy as seriously as you do, and will only collect information necessary to provide you with the best experience.
1. Information Best Parts Collects
In this Privacy Policy, the term “Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to a name, an identification number, or in certain circumstances, location information, an IP address or the unique identifier allocated to each Best Parts device. Specifically, we collect the following information from you, which may include Personal Information.
E.Information Collected Through Best Parts’s Support Services
We provide support services via live chat on our website, email request submissions, recorded outbound telephone calls and direct email. We collect any Personal Information you may choose to provide to our customer care team in the process. This includes, but is not limited to: your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. We may use and process your Personal Information, including location information, to handle your support request and provide you with the best support possible.
2.Cookies and Other Web Technologies
A. Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive or onto your mobile device’s memory — if your browser is set to accept cookies. Like many other online services, cookies and other tools like them help us collect and understand how you use our services.
Although most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change your settings or use third party tools to prompt you before accepting cookies from the websites you choose to visit, or to refuse cookies altogether. You can even delete them through your browser. Most browsers also have settings to prevent them from accepting new cookies, to notify you when you receive a new cookie, or to delete or disable cookies altogether. However, some parts of our Services may not work for you if you disable cookies.
We may also use cookies to gauge site usage, conduct research and diagnostics to improve the products and services we provide and to help us analyze general web traffic.
The cookies we use expire after they have fulfilled their purposes. Some cookies expire when you close your browser (i.e., session cookies) or after a set period of time (i.e., persistent cookies). The expiration time of cookies that are placed by third parties (explained below) is determined by the third party, not us.
C. Web Beacons
Web beacons (also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
3. Third Party Services
Sometimes Best Parts uses third party services, such as certain services offered by Facebook, Google. These outside services may also collect Personal Information about you and your online activities.
They may also place cookies on your computer’s hard drive or your mobile device’s memory or use web beacons to collect or receive information from the Services and elsewhere on the internet and use that information to provide analytics and to target ads. The information practices of these outside services are not covered by this Privacy Policy. We cannot access, nor (do we) have any control over, the cookies or other web technologies they may use.
A. Measurement Services and Ad Targeting
We may use tools offered by third party services, such as Facebook, to send data about actions users take on the Services. These third party services may use such data to provide measurement services to Best Parts or to target ads. You can opt out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting by going to http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/.
C. Social Plugins and Social Widgets
We may use social plugins, widgets and other features (each, a “Social Feature”) that are made available by and/or access third party Social Networks. These Social Features allow these Social Networks to place cookies on your browser and to collect certain information, which may be associated with your name and personal Social Network account.
These Social Features are operated solely by the respective Social Networks, and their service providers, and we recommend that you carefully read their privacy policies before you decide to use them. We have no control over or access to the information collected, stored or used by such Social Networks, and the information practices of such Social Networks are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
If you do not wish to associate any information collected via the plugins, widgets and/or other features with your personal Social Network account information, you should refrain from using these Social Features and logout from your Social Network account before visiting our Services.
4. We Are Not Responsible for Content on Third Party Websites
Our Services may contain links to websites and services that are owned or operated by third parties (each, a “Third-party Service”). Any information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service, or that is collected by a Third-party Service, is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the owner’s or operator’s privacy policy. We’re not responsible for the content, privacy or security practices and policies of any Third-party Service. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you access.
