Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Dependable Car Care public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Dependable Car Care does not read any of your private online communications.

Dependable Car Care encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Dependable Car Care so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information.

Use of your Personal Information

Dependable Car Care collects and uses your personal information to operate the Dependable Car Care Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Dependable Car Care also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Dependable Car Care and its affiliates. Dependable Car Care may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Dependable Car Care does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Dependable Car Care may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Dependable Car Care may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email, SMS, or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Dependable Car Care, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Dependable Car Care does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Dependable Car Care keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Dependable Car Care, in order to determine what Dependable Car Care services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Dependable Car Care to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Dependable Car Care Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Dependable Car Care or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Dependable Car Care; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Dependable Car Care, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Dependable Car Care Web site use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Dependable Car Care pages, or register with Dependable Car Care site or services, a cookie helps Dependable Car Care to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Dependable Car Care Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Dependable Car Care features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Dependable Car Care services or Web sites you visit.

Use of Pixel Tags

The Dependable Car Care Web site and our service providers such as Ad Roll may also use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") in connection with some Site pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single-pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to Site visitors and may be associated with Cookies on the visitors' hard drives. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site, to deliver branded services, to serve ads, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted e-mail messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the e-mail has been opened.

If you prefer that we not share Non-PII with partners, including third parties that use tracking technologies to deliver targeted display advertising based on such information, please CLICK HERE (https://www.networkadvertising.org/) to access the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out.

Security of your Personal Information

Dependable Car Care secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Dependable Car Care secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Dependable Car Care will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Dependable Car Care encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Dependable Car Care is protecting your information.
