This Privacy Policy explains how AutoPartsStop, operated by APS Global LLC, collects, uses, shares and protects your personal information when you use our Site, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Terms of Service.
Information we collect
We collect the information you give us and information collected automatically as you use the Site:
- Order and contact information — your name, email address, phone number, and shipping address.
- Payment information — card payments are processed by our payment processor (Stripe). We receive confirmation and limited details (such as the last four digits and card brand) but do not store full card numbers.
- Vehicle information — the year, make, model and any saved vehicles you add to find parts that fit.
- Usage and device data — IP address, browser type, pages viewed and referring links, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
How we use your information
- Process, fulfill and deliver your orders, and provide customer support and order updates.
- Operate, maintain, secure and improve the Site and our services.
- Detect and prevent fraud and abuse.
- Send service messages and, where permitted, marketing communications you can opt out of at any time.
- Comply with legal obligations, including tax and accounting requirements.
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep your cart and session working, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. This includes analytics and advertising services such as Google and Meta, which may set their own cookies to measure conversions and show relevant ads.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run our business:
- Service providers — our payment processor (Stripe), shipping carriers, and the distributors and suppliers who fulfill your parts.
- Analytics and advertising partners — to measure and improve our marketing, using the data described above.
- Legal and safety — when required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect our rights, customers or the public.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
Data retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide our services and fulfill the purposes described here, including to meet legal, tax, accounting and dispute-resolution requirements, after which we delete or anonymize it.
Security
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information, and payments are handled over encrypted connections by our payment processor. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or request a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain sharing or targeted advertising. Residents of California and other states have these rights under applicable law.
To exercise a right, or to opt out of marketing, contact us at support@autopartsstop.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact support@autopartsstop.com and we will delete it.
Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party sites. Their privacy practices are their own, and we encourage you to review their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest revision, and material changes will be posted on this page.
