points on our Web site. This information will not be sold or exchanged
to outside vendors for any reason.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide
contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial
information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If
we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact
the user.

this information to assure the customer receives the correct part for
their particular automobile.

Stored personal information may be used in the near future to provide a
personalized experience by remembering an user's preferences such as
shipping and billing addresses. Aggregate information such as product
trends are used to provide greater future products to meet the needs
of http://www.strutmasters.com users.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, to create
a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we
keep on individual users that details their viewing preferences. Consequently,
collected information is tied to the users personally identifiable information
to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This
profile is used to tailor a user's visit to our Web site, and to direct
pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share your profile
with other third parties.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider
(ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number
of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user?s movement
in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Communications from the Site Special Offers and Updates
We may occasionally send our members an email announcing new products,
recalls or web site upgrades. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out
of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not
receive these types of communications. Please see let us know if you
do not wish to be contacted.
Newsletter
In the future we may create newsletters. If a user wishes to subscribe
to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as an email address. Out
of respect for our users privacy we will provide a way to opt-out of
these communications.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related
announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended
for maintenance, we might send users an email. Generally, users
may not opt-out of these communications. However, these communications
are not promotional in nature. Users may opt-out of these communications
by sending a request via email.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email
or phone, in accordance with the user's wishes.

personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial
proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.

We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.

Business Transitions
In the event Strutmasters, LLC. goes through a business transition, such
as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion
of its assets, users personal information will, in most instances, be
part of the assets transferred.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to opt-out of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where
we ask for information. For example, our order form has an opt-out
mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing
material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional
communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying
to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email. We also offer an
opt-out mechanism on the user profile pages or the user may contact us
by completing the email form.
