Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to AutoParts Globe (this website). It explains what personal data we collect, why we process it, with whom we share it, how long we keep it, and what choices you have. By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge the practices described below.

1. Scope and who controls your data

This policy covers data processed through AutoParts Globe pages, contact forms, analytics, and advertising technologies used on this website. For privacy questions, please use our Contact page.

2. Categories of information we collect
  • Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, click behavior, date/time, and approximate geolocation inferred from IP.
  • Contact and communication data: name, email address, subject, and message content you submit through forms or email.
  • Transaction-related context: items viewed or added to cart, order-related page actions, and non-payment interaction signals needed to run our storefront experience.
  • Advertising and cookie data: cookie IDs, ad interaction events, consent signals, and similar identifiers used for ad delivery and measurement.
3. Why we process data (purposes)
  • Operate, maintain, and secure the website and its features.
  • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
  • Measure website performance and improve usability and content quality.
  • Deliver, personalize (where permitted), and measure ads.
  • Detect abuse, fraud, security incidents, and technical errors.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
4. Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland where applicable)

Depending on context, we rely on one or more legal bases: consent (for non-essential cookies and certain personalized ads), legitimate interests (site operations, security, analytics, and service improvement), contractual necessity (where needed to provide requested services), and legal obligations (compliance and recordkeeping).

5. Google advertising services

This website uses Google AdSense and/or Google Ad Manager to deliver and measure advertisements. These services may display ads based on page context, coarse location, device signals, and (where permitted) interest-related signals provided through Google advertising technologies.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Google and third-party advertisers may use cookies (and similar technologies) to serve ads based on your visits to this website or other websites. Cookies may also be used to remember preferences, manage session state, measure campaign performance, prevent fraud, and limit ad frequency.

You can control cookies via browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality and ad relevance.

7. Data shared with Google and partners

We share certain information with Google to enable ad serving, reporting, and measurement. This may include cookie IDs, pseudonymous identifiers, technical device/network data, event metadata, consent signals, and aggregated performance metrics. Depending on product and region, Google may act as processor, service provider, or independent controller under its own terms.

8. Your controls and opt-out options

You can adjust ad and privacy preferences through browser controls and Google tools. We do not control third- party websites or settings pages.

9. Withdrawing consent (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)

Where consent is required under GDPR or similar rules, you can return to this website at any time to change or withdraw your previous privacy choices for non-essential cookies and ad personalization, including via consent or preference controls (when shown) and browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing performed before withdrawal.

10. Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including service delivery, security, dispute handling, and legal compliance. Retention periods vary by data type, sensitivity, and applicable legal requirements.

11. International data transfers

Because we and our service providers may operate globally, your data may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, such as contractual protections or other recognized legal mechanisms.

12. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. We will evaluate and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law.

14. Children

This website is not directed to children under the age required by local law for independent consent. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

15. Do Not Track and third-party links

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because a common standard is not fully established, our website may not respond uniformly to all DNT signals. Our pages may link to third-party websites; their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material updates will be reflected by revising the “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use of the website after updates means you acknowledge the revised policy.
