MotoXspares Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 2009
We are strongly committed to protecting the privacy
of your personal information. The policies below are
applicable to the motoxspares.com.au
website and to other Internet domains owned by us
that direct traffic to motoxspares.com.au
(collectively, "Website"), produced and
maintained by MotoX Spares, ("MotoX Spares", "we", "us",
or "our"). We have established this security
and privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to
let you know the kinds of personal information we
may gather during your visit to the Website, why we
gather your information, what we use your personal
information for, when we might disclose your personal
information, how you can manage your personal information,
and the security procedures that are in place to protect
the information.
Please be advised that the practices described in
this Privacy Policy apply only to information gathered
through this Website and, where applicable, through
this Website's Customer Service Department in connection
with this Website, and do not necessarily reflect
our practices with respect to information gathered
through other Websites that we operate or through
other off-line means.
By visiting our Website, you are accepting the practices
described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree
to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not
use the Website. We reserve the right to modify or
amend the terms of our Privacy Policy from time to
time without notice. Your continued use of our Website
and our affiliate sites following the posting of changes
to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
What Information About Me Is Collected and
Stored?
MotoX Spares adheres to the highest
standards of ethical practices in all of our operations
and is dedicated to protecting the privacy of all
visitors to our Website. Our privacy policy is simple:
Except as disclosed below, we don't sell, barter,
give away, or rent your personal information to any
company outside of the MotoX Spares
family. One of the basic principles we've tried to
follow in designing this Website is that we ask for
only the information we need to provide the service
you've requested. As a result, what information we
collect and store depends almost entirely on how you
choose to make use of our Website and our services.
Personal Information
We collect and store information that you enter into
this Website or that you provide through our Customer
Service Department. For example, when you place an
order, we collect and store some or all of the following
information that you provide: name, billing address,
shipping address, email address, telephone number,
credit card number and expiration date (together "Personal
Information"). This information is used to provide
the products and services that you have ordered or
requested, to process and ship orders, to send order
and shipping confirmations and to provide customer
service. Registration may also be required and Personal
Information may also be collected in certain portions
of the Website in which you specifically and knowingly
provide such information, e.g. community postings
(i.e., reviews, chat or bulletin boards), catalogue
requests, newsletter subscriptions, suggestions, survey
responses, participation in contests and promotions,
or customer service requests. Some of this information
also may be used to contact you about sales, new products,
special offers, and new site features. You will always
have an opportunity to opt out of receiving these
promotional communications in connection with this
Website.
Anonymous Information
Through your use of the Website, we may also gather
certain information that does not identify you individually
("Anonymous Information" or "traffic
data"). We collect and store certain other information
automatically whenever you interact with this Website.
For example, we collect your IP address, browser information
and reference site domain name every time you visit
this Website. We also collect information regarding
customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information
is used to analyse and improve this Website and to
provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience.
We may also combine this information with your Personal
Information in order to provide you with a more targeted
and personalized shopping experience.
Cookies and Spyware
We never use or install spyware on your computer,
nor do we use spyware to retrieve information from
your computer.
Like many Websites, we use "cookies", which
are files stored on your computer's hard drive by
your browser. Cookies help us to identify account
holders and to optimize their shopping experience.
Cookies also allow us to hold selections in a shopping
cart when a user leaves this Website without checking
out and send you reminder e-mail about your shopping
orders and other shopping opportunities. For the Website
to run properly, you must leave cookies "turned
on." You may also get cookies from companies
advertising on our behalf. This is very common and
used by many large Internet companies. We do not control
these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to
our Privacy Policy.
We also may collect and store information about you
that we receive from other sources, to enable us to
update and correct the information contained in our
database and to provide product recommendations and
special offers that we think will interest you and,
if you have agreed to receive e-mail from us, send
you reminders about shopping opportunities.
Newsletters
We collect e-mail addresses and, in some cases, post
codes of all users who subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
Except to our third party agents (as described below),
this information is not shared with any third parties
for any purposes. Anyone who no longer wishes to receive
this newsletter can, at any time, follow the "Unsubscribe"
instructions located within each newsletter.
How We Use Your Information
Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we do
not use or disclose your Personal Information collected
online to any companies not affiliated with us.
Customer Service and Feedback
We may use your Personal Information to fulfil orders,
provide customer service, track your compliance with
the Website's rules and regulations, or for editorial
and feedback purposes (to the extent that is explained
when you provide the information). We reserve the
right to publicly post feedback that you provide to
us regarding the Website and our business. To the
extent that this feedback includes Personal Information,
we will use reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure
of such Personal Information (e.g. only including
your first name, city and state).
Use of Anonymous Information
We use Anonymous Information to help us determine
how people use parts of the Website and who our readers
are so we can improve our Website and ensure that
it is as appealing as we can make it for as many people
as possible. We also use Anonymous Information to
provide statistical "ratings" information
in aggregated form to our partners and other third
parties about how our users collectively use the Website.
We may also use or share Anonymous Information (or
other information, other than Personal Information)
in any other manner that we deem appropriate or necessary.
Third Party Agents and Service Providers
We occasionally have third party agents, subsidiaries,
affiliates and partners that perform functions on
our behalf, such as marketing, analytics, advertising
agencies, credit card processing, shipping or stocking
orders, providing customer service, fraud protection
etc. These entities have access to the Personal Information
needed to perform their functions and are contractually
obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security
of that Personal Information. They are prohibited
from using, selling, distributing or altering this
data in any way other than to provide the requested
services to MotoX Spares.
Transactional partners
We may share Anonymous Information with our partners
and others from time to time. Examples of such Anonymous
Information include the number of users who visited
this Website during a specific time period or purchased
a specific product through this Website. This Anonymous
Information generally is shared in an aggregated form.
We may also share Personal Information with trusted
partners who we believe have products or services
that would be of interest to you and would provide
the same high level of service that you expect from
MotoX Spares.
Emergency Situations
We may also use or disclose Personal Information if
required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to (a) conform to applicable
law or comply with legal process served on us or the
Website; (b) protect and defend our rights or property,
the Website or our users, and (c) act under emergency
circumstances to protect the personal safety of us,
our affiliates, agents, the users of the Website,
or the public.
What Steps Are Taken To Keep Personal Information
Secure?
The importance of security for all Personal Information
associated with you is of utmost concern to us. We
exercise great care in providing secure transmission
of your information from your PC to our servers. Personal
Information collected by our websites is stored in
secure operating environments that are not available
to the public. In many instances, such as in the case
of credit card numbers and all on-line purchases,
the Personal Information is encrypted before you conduct
your transaction. Only those employees who need access
to your Personal Information in order to do their
jobs are allowed access. Any employee who violates
our privacy and/or security policies is subject to
disciplinary action, including possible termination
and civil and/or criminal prosecution. While we try
our best to safeguard your Personal Information once
we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet
or any other public network can be guaranteed to be
100% secure.
What Happens When I Link To or From Another
Website?
This Website may contain links to other Websites operated
by MotoX Spares, affiliates of MotoX Spares or third parties. Please be advised
that the practices described in this Privacy Policy
for motosport.com do not apply to information gathered
through these other Websites. These other sites may
also send their own cookies to you, collect your data
or solicit your personal information. Always be aware
of where you end up. We are not responsible for the
actions and privacy policies of third parties and
other websites. We encourage you to be aware of when
you leave this Website and to read the privacy policies
of each and every Website that you visit.
Public Areas, Chat Rooms and Newsgroups
Please remember that any information you share in
public areas, such as message boards or feedback sections,
becomes public, and therefore this Privacy Policy
does not apply to any information you choose to make
public. Please be careful about what you disclose
and do not post any Personal Information that you
expect to keep private.
Changes to This Policy
We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy prominently
so that you will always know what information we gather,
how we might use that information and whether we will
disclose it to anyone. We do, however, recommend that
you read this Privacy Policy each time you use our
website in case you missed our notice of changes to
the Privacy Policy. At the beginning of the Privacy
Policy we provide the date on which the Privacy Policy
was last updated.
