Cycle Parts West Privacy
Statement
This statement discloses the
privacy practice for the Web
site of Cycle Parts West.
It is our intent to give you as
much control as possible over
your privacy in regard to your
personal information and the use
we make of it in the course of
our business. In general, you
can visit Cycle Parts West on
the Web without telling us who
you are or revealing any
information about yourself.
WHAT INFORMATION WE GATHER
AND TRACK
There are times when we may need
information from you,
particularly when you contact us
with the intent of receiving
additional information. Cycle
Parts West will ask you to
provide certain information
about yourself by filling out
and submitting an online form.
When you submit information to
us, we endeavor to protect such
information against unauthorized
disclosures by using secure
technologies. Your information
is strictly for Cycle Parts West
use only, and we do not share it
with other companies or third
parties, unless compelled by law
or court order to do so.
WHAT WE DO WITH THE
INFORMATION WE GATHER AND TRACK
The information gathered from
the forms you fill out is used
in one of three ways:
To provide you with information
about our products, services,
news and events to allow you to
purchase or download products,
and to gather broad demographic
information about user trends.
We will not sell your personally
identifiable information to an
unrelated third party. We may,
however, share such information
with our partners and
advertisers, or transfer such
information to a purchaser of
our business assets.
cyclepartswest.com uses various
methods to collect certain other
kinds of information including
"cookies", "referers", IP
addresses, and environment
variables. Here is how we use
these methods:
A "cookie" is an element of data
that a Web server like
cyclepartswest.com can send to
your browser, which may then
store it on your system. It can
be used to provide you with
tailored information. Some Cycle
Parts West pages use Cookies.
Cookies are used to better
personalize the content,
banners, and promotions that you
and other users will see. We may
use the information to research
and understand how our users'
habits are similar or different
so that we can enhance your
experience on Cycle Parts West
sites and with our products and
services. We do not match cookie
data to any personal
identification.
You can set your browser to
notify you when you receive a
cookie, giving you the chance to
decide whether or not to accept
it. You may also disable your
cookies by changing the
preferences in your browser.
A "referer" is the information
passed along by a web browser
that references the Web URL you
linked from, and it is
automatically gathered by our
Web server. This information is
used by Cycle Parts West to
identify broad demographic
trends that may be used to
provide information tailored to
your interests.
IP addresses are automatically
gathered by our Web servers.
Your IP address is a number that
is used by computers on the
network to identify your ISP or
your computer so that data (such
as the Web pages you request)
can be sent to you. You can not
be personally identified from
this information.
Environment variables we gather
include time, type of Web
browser being used and the
operating system/platform. This
information is used only for
broad demographic information.
This information is used by
Cycle Parts West in identifying
broad demographic trends and may
be used to provide information
tailored to your interests.
Additionally, the Cycle Parts
West site may contain links to
other Web sites, however, Cycle
Parts West is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the
content of such Web sites.
Please note that Cycle Parts
West reserves the right to
disclose information submitted
by or concerning any visitor or
member as we reasonably feel is
necessary to protect our systems
or business. Specifically, but
without limitation, we reserve
the right to disclose such
information when a visitor or
member is in violation of our
Terms of Use and Conditions or
other published guidelines, or
partakes (or is reasonably
suspected of partaking) in any
harmful, infringing or illegal
activity, even without a
subpoena, warrant, or other
court order, and to disclose
such information in response to
court and governmental orders,
civil subpoenas, discovery
requests, and as otherwise
required by law, as well as in
response to allegations of
infringement. We cooperate with
law enforcement agencies in
identifying those who may be
using our servers or services
for illegal activities. We also
reserve the right to report any
suspected illegal activity to
law enforcement for
investigation or prosecution, or
to suspend or terminate your
membership in connection with
any suspected illegal or
infringing activity. Finally,
Cycle Parts West reserves the
right to assign, sell, license,
or otherwise transfer to a third
party your personally
identifiable information in
connection with an assignment,
sale, joint venture, or other
transfer or disposition of any
portion or all of Cycle Parts
West or its affiliated entities'
assets or stock.
Subject to the foregoing, Cycle
Parts West uses your personally
identifying information in
several ways:
to customize various aspects of
the Services to your
preferences;
to determine which
advertisements or sponsor
messages will appear on your
screen;
to send to you Cycle Parts West
solicitations, product
announcements, and the like that
we feel may be of interest to
you (you may "opt out" of
receiving these materials, as
provided below);
to send to you certain e-mail
messages that are critical to
your use of the Services, such
as system status updates or
order confirmations (because
these messages contain important
information, you may not be able
to "opt out" of receiving such
messages);
to "pre-populate" forms that are
displayed for the purpose of
collecting individual data by
Cycle Parts West and/or its
sponsors (in no case will
pre-populating a form
automatically transfer any data
to an advertiser or other third
party - only if you voluntarily
request that such data be
transferred will any such
transfer take place, e.g., by
clicking the "Submit" button);
and
as may be necessary to support
the operation of the Services,
such as for billing, account
maintenance, and record-keeping
purposes.
In addition to the circumstances
described above, Cycle Parts
West may disclose your
personally-identifiable
information to third parties as
follows:
If you "opt in" to receive
promotional materials (see
below), information you have
made available to Cycle Parts
West may be made available to
third parties who provide goods
or services that we believe may
be of interest to you.
If you provide us with your
credit card information, we will
not release that information to
third parties unless necessary
to complete a transaction
between you and such a third
party. Credit card transactions
are handled by a third-party
financial institution, which
receives the credit card number
and other personal identifying
information only to verify the
credit card numbers and process
transactions.
All information made available
to Cycle Parts West may be made
available to our contractors and
consultants, and professional
advisors (such as attorneys or
accountants), but only to the
extent necessary for them to
perform services on our behalf,
and only under a duty of
confidentiality.
"Opting In": You may choose to
"opt in" to receive promotional
materials from Cycle Parts West
and/or its affiliates,
advertisers, or other business
partners. You will be given the
opportunity to "opt in" to
receive such materials at every
point at which we collect
personally identifiable
information through the
Services. You may change your
"opt in" status or "opt out"
with respect to such materials
at any time by contacting us at
privacy@cyclepartswest.com. You
may also contact those third
parties directly.
Surveys and Sweepstakes:
Occasionally, Cycle Parts West
may conduct surveys in order to
better deliver advertisements
and content and to better
understand your needs relating
to the Services. We will not
share your survey information
with any third party, except in
aggregate form. In addition, if
and when we sponsor sweepstakes
or other promotions, or third
parties sponsor such promotions
in conjunction with us, either
we or the third party will post
relevant privacy information in
the official rules and/or
registration area for the
sweepstakes or promotion. That
privacy information, to the
extent it conflicts with this
Policy, will govern that
particular promotion or
sweepstakes - please remember to
read it carefully.
Deleting or correcting
personal information.
If you would like to have your
personally identifiable
information removed from Cycle
Parts West database, or would
like to correct an error in such
information, please contact us

and we will use reasonable
efforts to comply with your

that there will be residual
information that will remain
within Cycle Parts West
databases, access logs, and
other records, which may or may
not contain such personally
identifiable information. The
residual information will not be
used for commercial purposes;
however Cycle Parts West
reserves the right, from time to
time, to re-contact former

Parts West
