It’s time to dig into the details—those boring legal texts found on nearly all websites! While a trusty handshake may have done the job in ye olden days, nowadays companies need a Privacy Policy as well. Unfortunately, it goes without saying: No one exactly jumps for joy when their responsibilities include plowing through legalese! We get it; we sure don’t include this stuff for funsies… but here they are anyways
Our Commitment to Privacy:
Your privacy is important to us, which is why we’re committed to protecting it. We at PPW Distributors “AKA” Professional Parts Warehouse understand the necessity of having your private information kept secure, so in an effort to ensure this, we’ve provided you with a comprehensive notice outlining our online information practices.
Communication to Serve You:
At Professional Parts Warehouse, we take great pride in providing our customers with exceptional customer service. Therefore, if you have entrusted us with your contact information, e.g., by registering a profile on our website, emailing our Customer Service department or placing an order, we’ll make sure you’re up to date on all the latest news regarding the site and that any requests you may have are taken care of expediently.
For example, everyone that registers an account with us will receive a friendly email reassuring them all details of their order have been taken verified.

Catalog Mailing List:
We keep all Professional Parts Warehouse Catalog info completely hush-hush: no third parties here. But you should expect to receive some mail from us here and then. Nothing over the top, just an occasional updated catalog or flyer, if you’d like. If that’s not your cup of tea, just email us at mail@professional.com with your name, mailing address & email address–we’ll make sure any future messages stay out of sight!
Fraud Protection and Compliance with Law:
As steadfast guardians of the data our customers entrust to us, we may, in our trusty discretion, make decisions about when it’s necessary for us to fess up. Whether it’s to satisfy an applicable law or not, we might be required to dish the insider intel from time to time. Especially in regards to services related to credit fraud protection and risk reduction.
Service Providers:
We understand that in order to stay true to our Privacy Policy, dealing with trusted partners is an absolute must. It’s no secret; even we don’t have the magical powers of being everywhere at once! To delegate specific tasks and get additional support we turn to the pros: web hosts, fulfillment companies (because shipping can be tricky), data analysts, and email providers. We care deeply about your privacy, so these third parties won’t have access to personal info beyond what’s needed to do their job. After all, they’re not allowed to do anything except the task we assigned…no snooping around!
Cookies, IP Address, Pixel Tags and Tracking Technology:
Are you a returning user? If so, welcome back! We may be baking something special to enhance your experience: a “cookie”.

Munch responsibly, friends!
Gathering demographic information can serve many purposes. We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the Site, and track traffic patterns. This data can be combined with your personally identifiable information too! It’s all in the name of credit fraud protection while simultaneously reducing our overall risk levels. Keepin’ everyone safe and sound… that’s our motto!
Have you ever visited a website and been blown away by the personalized features? We’ve got a little secret to tell you — pixel tags (or as we like to call them, “clear” gifs) are lurking around every corner. Tracking links and similar technologies also help keep an eye on which pages you view so that we can offer an even more engaging experience to match your own taste. But wait — there’s more! This technology also assists us in detecting what type of emails Your Browser likes, sending an additional thumbs up out towards it.

Your confidential information is completely secure with us – we take your shopping experience very seriously!

Links:
By the way, this Privacy Policy only applies to what we’ve gathered ’round here? Guess that means it’s time to read up: if your explorations take you elsewhere and you seek satisfaction, remember that other websites are not part of our privacy chain. Should the urge arise, try perusing the mysterious written legal documents on those other sites. We’ll just leave the light on ’til you get back.
