Aggregate (Non-Personally Identifiable) Information We Collect From You and Methods of Collection
During a normal visit to our site, no personally identifiable information about you is collected. All information on our site is free to browse at your leisure without the need for you to provide us with any personal information. During normal use, our website does collect “aggregate” information, which is non-personally identifiable information. This means that we do not track these items on an individual basis that identifies you, but rather accumulate this info on an aggregate basis that includes all site visitors. Non-personal information includes tracking the site pages visited or the amount of time spent on our site.
Our primary goal in collecting aggregate information is to be able to perform site metrics that allow us to improve the functionality of the website. We need to collect aggregate information in order to track page visits, recognize peak usage times and analyze potential site redesign.
When you visit our website a server housing the pages automatically generates a “session log.” We use session logs to help us determine how people travel through our site. In this way, we can structure our pages so that the information most frequently visited is easier to find. By tracking page visits, we can also determine if the information we’re providing is being used. The data generally gathered is the Internet Protocol (IP) address from which you came (which contains no personal information), the web site that referred you, the pages you visited and the date and time of those visits.
When you view one of our websites or interactive advertisements, we may use “cookies” to collect aggregate data. A “cookie” is a small text file that helps us in many ways to make your visit to our website more enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you having to log in every time you come back to one of our websites. They also allow us to tailor a website or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. There are a couple different types of cookies. A “session” cookie is stored only in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your browser’s windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A “persistent” cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Persistent cookies stay on your computer until either a) they expire, b) they are overwritten with newer cookies, or c) you manually remove them. Most browsers can be configured not to accept cookies; however, this may prevent you from having access to some site functions or features.
Third party cookies, such as Google Analytics and DoubleClick Network cookies may be used for purposes of Analytics, Remarketing, Analytics Demographics & Interests Reporting to better monitor usage of our sites’ performance, improve advertising effectiveness, and to remarket to appropriate audiences, such as people who have previously visited our website, and to match the right people with the right message.
How We Use the Aggregate (Non-Personally Identifiable) Information We Collect
Non-Personally identifiable information collected on our website or other integrated sites may be used to:
- Compile aggregate and statistical data to help in website design and to identify popular features
- Measure site activity to allow us to update our site to better meet user wants and needs
We utilize session log data and your personal and non-personal data for the purpose of performing analytics on the users’ experience while visiting this site. This analysis:
- Is performed on an aggregate level and does not identify you or your information personally
- Involves the use of a third party vendor acting on behalf of us
- Is performed in order to improve our website and the user experience
- May include the use of session and/or persistent cookies to track user movement across this and other websites or to track other events within or across this and other websites
- May be shared with other entities where deemed appropriate
How you can opt-out of Advertising Personalization Features
As always, Google users can control their ads experience (or opt out of personalized ads altogether) at Google’s My Account page (https://myaccount.google.com) and ads personalization page (https://www.google.com/settings/ads).
To opt out of remarketing on the DoubleClick Network, visit the DoubleClick opt-out page (https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb#display_optout).
Alternatively, you can opt out of any third-party use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp).
Sharing Your Information
Personal information you provide to us in the course of requesting a product or service through this website may be gathered and stored in our database and subject to applicable legal restrictions in one or more other associated corporate databases and be used for purposes of contacting you for things like promotional offers, marketing programs, or other communications from this website or other associated websites.
We do not sell, rent, share or otherwise provide your personally identifiable information to others except as stated and as otherwise permitted by law.
We may share personal information that we collect about you with other companies within our family of companies or subsidiaries or our business partners and affiliates. Our “family of companies” is the group of companies related to us by common control or ownership. Our business partners and affiliates may include other companies that provide related products or are integrated on our website. We share information within this “family” as a normal part of conducting business and offering products and services to our customers. We may also share personal information with our OEMs and their subsidiaries and affiliates who in turn may share personal information that you provide to us as permitted by applicable federal or state personal information sharing restrictions. This sharing may be desirable in order to honor your request for a price quote on a vehicle part, to provide information for purposes of contacting you in the regular course of business, and for other permissible uses.
We will disclose your personal information, without notice, 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 our franchise, our family of companies, our OEMs including their subsidiaries and affiliates or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of our franchise, our family of companies, our OEMs including their subsidiaries and affiliates and this site; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our franchise, our family of companies, our OEMs including their subsidiaries and affiliates, their web sites, or the public.
Site metrics for our website may be shared within our family of companies and within our OEMs including their subsidiaries or affiliates. The information shared will be aggregate data and will not include any of your personally identifiable information.
You may submit a request to opt out of sharing your personal information here, or call 844-389-7278.

- You may request, up to two times each year, that we disclose to you the categories and specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which your personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information, the categories of personal information that we disclosed for a business purposes.
- You may request that we delete any personal information that we have collected from or about you. However, there are some reasons we will not be able to fully address your deletion requests, such as if we need to complete a transaction for you, to detect and protect against fraudulent and illegal activity, to exercise our rights, or to comply with a legal obligation.
To take advantage of your disclosure and deletion rights, please contact us at 844-389-7278 or by mail, 1930 W. Valley Blvd, Colton, CA 92324.
