What Personal
Information About Users Does DIY-Autos Collect?
Our primary
goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a friendly,
customized, and efficient experience. We only collect personal information that
is relevant to the purpose of our website. We do not process this information in
a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which it has been collected or
subsequently authorized by you. We collect the following types of information
from our users:
-
Information You Provide to
Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us
in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information,
but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special
features. The personal information you provide is used for such purposes as:
-
Registration: In order
for you to use DIY-Autos services, such as submitting new links to the
website, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration
form, we require your email address.
-
Automatic Information:
-
We receive and store
certain types of information whenever you interact with us. DIY-Autos
automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs
from your browser including your IP address, DIY-Autos cookie information,
and the page you requested. DIY-Autos uses this traffic data to help
diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the
website.
-
DIY-Autos may also add
on any page display the total counts that page has been viewed. This
includes member profile pages.
-
Profile information:
DIY-Autos allows other users to browse your full name, email, location,
website URL, birthday, and your uploaded files within your member profile
should you provide this optional information.
-
Many companies offer
programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While DIY-Autos will
not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot
recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.
What About
Cookies?
-
Cookies are alphanumeric
identifiers that we transfer to your computer(s) hard drive through your Web
browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and
when pages in our website are visited and by how many people. DIY-Autos
cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information
collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you
are or what your screen name or email address is.
-
The "help" portion of the
toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to prevent your
browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you
when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We strongly
recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies
enable you to take advantage of some of DIY-Autos most attractive features.
-
Some of our business
partners may use cookies on our website (for example, advertisers). However,
we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Will DIY-Autos
Share Any of the Information it Receives?
Information
about our users is an integral part of our business. We neither rent nor sell
your personal information to anyone. We share your personal information only as
described below.
-
Business
Transfers:
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of
transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is
transferred. Moreover, if DIY-Autos, or substantially all of its assets, were
acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.
-
Protection of
DIY-Autos and Others:
We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release
is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use
and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of DIY-Autos,
our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with
other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk
reduction.
-
With Your Consent:
Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your personal information
may be shared with third parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the
purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, and you will be able to
prevent the sharing of this information by opting out.
Is Information
About Me Secure?
-
Your DIY-Autos account
information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need
to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your
computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.
-
Only employees who need
personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer
service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are
kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.
What Information
Can I Access?

access your personal information on our website and correct, amend, or delete
information that is inaccurate. Upon logging in visit your user profile setting

certain features on our website, such as posting new links.
-
You are able to add or
update certain information on pages, such as those listed in the "What
Personal Information About Users Does DIY-Autos Collect?" section above. When

of your DIY-Autos account by emailing Support@DIY-Autos.com. This removes all
of your past uploaded files and profile information but any content submitted

"help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on
how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the
