Welcome to www.apskarting.com ("Site"). This Site is owned by American Power Sports Inc. ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you how we collect, use, and disclose the information you provide to us via this Site. By using this Site, you acknowledge that you have reviewed, and agree to, the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, do not use this Site.
SCOPE OF PRIVACY POLICY / LINKS
This Privacy Policy applies only to this Site. Although this Site may provide you with links to other websites, those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Likewise, although we may provide links to websites that may be owned or operated by tools.com Inc. or its affiliated companies, this Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit, including those websites to which we provide links. Whenever you link to a website from this Site (including whenever you click on a banner ad on this Site), you are solely responsible for any interactions you may have with that website.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS SITE
This Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Site users in this age group.
ACTIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION
At various points on this Site, you might choose to actively provide certain kinds of information, including personally identifiable information, such as full name, address, phone number, e-mail address, etc. We typically will indicate which information is required and which is optional at the information collection point in question. In any case, by submitting information via an active information collection point at this Site, you specifically consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Active information collection points at this Site may include:
E-Mail Reply Mechanisms
This Site may provide you with one or more e-mail reply mechanisms through which you may send us questions or comments. Information you provide to us via such e-mail reply mechanisms is typically all optional. We may retain whatever information you submit in your e-mail, including your name, e-mail address, and any comments or other information that you send via the e-mail reply mechanism. Because e-mail submitted via this Site is not protected by the same security measures we use in other areas where we actively collect information, you should be particularly careful in deciding what information you wish to send to us via e-mail.
Question, Comment, and Feedback Forms
This Site may post a form for you to use in submitting questions, comments, and other feedback about us, this Site, our products and services, and other topics. We use such feedback information to improve this Site and our products and services as well as for marketing and research purposes. Most information you provide in such forms is optional, but you will need to provide at least some personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, and phone number, so that we may respond to your inquiry.
Product/Service Information or Quote Request Forms
This Site may include a form for requesting information about, or price quotes on, our products and services. In addition to asking you to identify the products and services in which you are interested, these forms may request, among other things, your name, address, and e-mail address, so that we may send you the materials or price quote you request. We may also request certain demographic information about you to help us better understand your interests and needs.
Surveys and Evaluations
We may ask you to complete surveys and evaluations about us, this Site, our products and services, and other topics. These surveys might request personally identifiable information, such as your name and e-mail address, so that we can follow up with you.
Employment Applications and Resume Submissions
We may use this Site to post job openings. We may encourage you to submit your resume via e-mail or to complete an online employment application to be considered for potential employment opportunities. If you submit a resume to us, you will of course be disclosing any personally identifiable information you have included in your resume. Our online employment application requests certain types of personally identifiable information, including your name, address, e-mail address, and social security number, as well as your previous work experience and salary expectations. We may use and circulate this information internally as necessary to consider your application and to contact you regarding our decision. We may also use this information from time to time to inform you of other employment opportunities that may be of interest to you. Please contact us as specified below in the "Contact Us" section if you no longer wish to receive such information or be considered for employment opportunities.
To comply with various government recordkeeping requirements, we may also ask you to provide certain other optional categories of information about yourself. Providing or not providing such information will not adversely affect your employment prospects, and such information will not become part of your employment application or employment file.
E-Mail Newsletters
We may ask you to provide your e-mail address so that you can receive e-mail newsletters about us, our Site, our products and services, and other topics of interest.
Purchasing/Order Processing Information
This Site allows you to purchase some of our products and services online. As a result, we gather certain personally identifiable information (e.g., your name and address) and financial information (e.g., your credit card number) to process your order. We may: (1) retain this information to create an account for later use (so that you do not need to re-enter the information for each subsequent order); (2) group your de-identified information with that of other Site users to provide information to us about group purchasing and preferences; and (3) share this information with business partners, related companies, dealers, and affiliates.
Service Information
This Site may collect information about service work orders, including the name, address, and phone number of customers and employees needing services. We use the information you provide to respond to these service requests.
Other Functions
This Site may offer tests, quizzes, search functions, calculators, or conversion tools that help you learn more about various topics. We use the information you input while using these functions to provide you with immediate feedback. This information is automatically deleted once you close your browser window; we do not permanently retain this information.
OTHER USES OF YOUR INFORMATION
As indicated above, we use information we collect from you via this Site for a variety of purposes.
In addition to the purposes specified above, we may use your personally and nonpersonally identifiable information to tell you about new products and services or other information we think may be of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such notifications or updates, we will tell you how to contact us.
We may also use the information we collect from you via this Site for internal marketing and research purposes and to improve the content of our website.
We also reserve the right to sell, lease, provide access to, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to our business partners (including fulfillment houses and delivery services such as UPS), related companies, dealers, and affiliates that agree to use such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy or elsewhere on this Site, we reserve the right to share or transfer your information to another person or company in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business of this Site and/or tools.com Inc. or where required by applicable law, statute, regulation, ordinance, or court order.
INFORMATION ACCESS
We take reasonable measures to ensure that personally identifiable information that we collect from you via this Site is accurate, current, complete, and reliable for its intended uses. If you wish to update or otherwise correct personally identifiable information you have provided to us, you may contact us as described below in the "Contact Us" section.
We will make reasonable efforts to respond to your inquiry, but we may require follow-up or contact information to allow us to verify that you are the person authorized to view the information you are requesting. We may, in our discretion, refuse to allow you access to certain information if, in our view, to provide such access would jeopardize another person's privacy; would violate any applicable federal, state, or foreign law, regulation, or directive; or would unreasonably burden this Site.
DATA SECURITY
Although we take reasonable steps to protect personally identifiable information you provide via this Site from loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration, no system is 100% secure or error-free. Therefore, we do not, and cannot, guarantee the security or accuracy of the information we collect via this Site, and you acknowledge that you are assuming the risk in transmitting any information to us.
We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) industry standard for encrypting all ordering data, including credit card transactions. SSL provides the highest level of security available today for web-based sales, using encryption technologies developed by Verisign, Inc., and RSA Data Security, Inc.
We also use CyberSource to process online credit card transactions. CyberSource is a leading developer and provider of enterprise eCommerce transaction services, and a pioneer in the area of Internet fraud detection.
It is your responsibility to safeguard any username and password you use to access this Site and to notify us if you ever suspect that this username or password has been compromised. Where such username and password are specific to you (as opposed to being generic to anyone from your group accessing the Site), you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any unauthorized use of this Site conducted via your username or password.
