To demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, AutoBarn.com has developed a Privacy Policy to engender trust and confidence in our site and the Internet by encouraging full disclosure and informed consent.

||||||||
Information We Use & How It is Collected | ||||||||
Your IP Address | ||||||||
An Internet Protocol
(IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
every time you browse the Internet. When users request a page from our
site, our servers log the user's current IP address. We use your IP
address to help diagnose problems with our servers and to administer our
Web site. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.
This means that a user session will be tracked, but the user will be
anonymous.
|
||||||||
Cookies | ||||||||
"Cookies"
are pieces of data your browser stores on your computer's hard drive. They
enable us to determine when you or someone using the same browser you
previously used revisits AutoBarn.com. Cookies also enable us to create a
more personalized shopping experience for you. Most browsers are set up to
accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse
them. AutoBarn.com does not use cookies to retrieve personal information
about you from your computer. Our policy does not cover the use of cookies
by any advertisers or any other third parties with links on our site.
|
||||||||
Other Information We Collect | ||||||||
When you purchase a
product we ask you for information such as name, address, and credit card
information. We store and use this information so we can process your order.
If necessary, we might use this information to contact you for help
processing your order. From time to time we send out notices by email of
special offers or sales on our site. If for any reason, you do not want to
receive these notifications, just contact us through our
Customer Service Center,
or contact us using one of the methods listed below under How to Contact
Us. Each email offer also includes simple instructions on how to remove
your e-mail address from future mailings. Whenever you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mail or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the site, we may collect and store such information. From time to time, AutoBarn.com holds contests and sweepstakes. We will collect and store all information relating to such contests and sweepstakes. AutoBarn.com might purchase information from third parties in order to supplement the information we have received from our customers. |
||||||||
Third-Party Web Beacons | ||||||||
We use third-party web beacons from Yahoo! to help analyze where visitors go and what they do while visiting our website. Yahoo! may also use anonymous information about your visits to this and other websites in order to improve its products and services and provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by Yahoo!, click here. |
||||||||
Removing Your Information from Our Records | ||||||||
If for some reason,
you want us to remove your credit card and contact information from our
database, we will, but only after all of your transactions have been
completed. All you have to do is send us e-mail at
customerservice@autobarn.com,
or contact us using one of the methods listed below under How to Contact
Us. Such information, however, is never completely removed from our
database archives because we routinely back up our servers for disaster
recovery and tax-record purposes.
|
||||||||
Disclosure of Information to Third Parties | ||||||||
Personal Information | ||||||||
Personal information
includes your name, e-mail address, mailing address, method of payment
information and other data that identifies you as an individual. Your
personal information is used by AutoBarn.com, our suppliers and shippers
in order to process and ship your orders. AutoBarn.com does not sell,
trade, rent or release your personal information to third parties. If we
do so in the future, you will have the opportunity to "opt-out"
beforehand.
|
||||||||
Aggregate Information | ||||||||
AutoBarn.com
occasionally shares aggregate data about customers, traffic patterns,
sales, and other site information with partners, vendors, and other
reputable third parties. This data, however, does not contain any
personally identifying information. For example, we don't disclose that
you purchased a specific product, but we might share statistics on how
many customers have purchased a specific product.
|
||||||||
Legal Issues | ||||||||
AutoBarn.com
discloses personal information when required by law or in the good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to: conform to the edicts of the law
or comply with a legal process served on AutoBarn.com or its site; protect
and defend the rights or property of AutoBarn.com, the site, or the users
of AutoBarn.com; and act under exigent circumstances to protect the
personal safety of users of AutoBarn.com, its site, or the public.
|
||||||||
Other Sites' Policies | ||||||||

leave our site via links to other sites, including those of advertisers.
AutoBarn.com is not responsible for the privacy policies or the content on
those sites, nor is it responsible for the cookies those sites might
deposit on your hard drive.
|
||||||||
Safety & Security | ||||||||
Credit Card Security | ||||||||
Shopping on the
Internet is incredibly safe. At AutoBarn.com, we ensure that it's safe by transferring all of your
personal information, including your name, address and credit card, over a
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) line. This ensures that your information is
encrypted and cannot be read by others as it travels over the Internet.
The secure mode begins when you initiate your order. You will know you're
in secure mode when the tiny padlock icon, located at the bottom of your
browser, appears as "locked." You also can verify you are in
secure mode by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a
secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from
"http" to "https." After the information reaches
AutoBarn.com, it is stored on a secure server, which means it resides
behind a firewall and cannot be accessed from outside the company. At that
point, your information can only be accessed by employees to process your
orders. All such employees sign a privacy/security policy, which provides
legal confidentiality protection for our customers. Violations of this
policy results in disciplinary actions, including the possibility of
termination, criminal prosecution and civil action.
|
||||||||
AutoBarn.com's Safe Shopping Guarantee | ||||||||
Shopping with us is
so safe we guarantee it with our Safe Shopping Guarantee. In a nutshell,
we guarantee every transaction as 100 percent safe. If unauthorized
charges appear on your credit card as a result of shopping with us while
using our secure server, we will reimburse you up to the maximum $50 legal
liability. We only require that you follow the reporting steps required by
the issuer of your card (under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank
cannot hold you liable for more than $50 of fraudulent charges).
|
||||||||
Website Errors | ||||||||
Prices and
availability of products and services are subject to change without notice.
Errors will be corrected where discovered, and Auto Barn reserves the right
to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or
omissions including after an order has been submitted and whether or not the
order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card
has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, Auto
Barn will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the
charge. Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited
to your account. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may
return it in accordance with Auto Barn's Return Policy.
|
||||||||
Your Consent/Contacting Us | ||||||||
Your Consent | ||||||||
By using our Web
site, you are consenting to the collection, storage, and dissemination of
data as described above. We will post any changes to our privacy policy on

Policy or any other matters AutoBarn.com thinks is necessary for the
