Privacy Policy
AutoPoint is dedicated to establishing the highest standards for privacy, security, credibility and reliability. We present this policy to give you a clear understanding of how we operate our Online Service and how we handle your personal information.
This privacy policy may be revised periodically. When we make significant changes that affect our collection and use of your personal information or our security practices, we will require a renewed acceptance of this agreement. We recommend you read our privacy policy whenever you are prompted to accept a new version of this agreement in case you missed our notice or have not registered for a service or feature of the Online Service previously.
Registration
You must be a registered subscriber to use the Online Service. Additionally, we may require you to register further information for certain services, including our e-mail subscriptions, discussion boards, specific information tools and other current or planned features. When you use these features, we will clearly disclose what information is required, what information is optional and how that information may be used.
We use information that we gather in aggregate form only. In other words, we combine the information with data collected from other individuals to produce anonymous, aggregated statistical information. We collect and use demographic or repair information in order to improve the content of our Online Service. We also may share this anonymous, aggregated information, which does not identify individuals, with partners, or other third parties. In instances where third parties may receive anonymous, aggregated user information collected on our Online Service, our agreements with the third parties generally provide that the third parties will not use the anonymous, aggregated user information to identify individual users or sell, disclose or provide access to any user information collected on our Online Service that would identify any individual or connect any individual to specific repair data
AutoPoint will not disclose to third parties any identifying personal information gathered from you during registration for e-mails and discussion boards and other features unless (1) we tell you how your information will be used and you give AutoPoint specific permission to share this information or (2) AutoPoint is required to disclose such information by any applicable law or legal process (like a subpoena or court order). Where we disclose identifying personal information to third parties with your authorization, we will require the recipient to use the information only for the purpose provided
Security of Information
We commit to use security procedures to protect personal information you submit to us from misuse or unauthorized disclosure. The personal information that you submit to us is stored in our database behind an electronic firewall. You can access your personal information only by using a password. We encourage you to change your password regularly and not to share it with anyone.
Access to the data within AutoPoint is limited to employees who need to maintain the database and who also use passwords for that access, as well as outside vendors who may occasionally assist us in maintaining and improving our hardware and software tools
AutoPoint makes every effort to safeguard your personal information. However, like other Internet services, we cannot guarantee that it is completely secure from people who might attempt to evade security measures or intercept transmissions over the Internet
Similarly, we cannot completely ensure the privacy of e-mail communications to and from our Online Service because they are not encrypted and, therefore, not secure. These communications, like most Internet e-mail, could be intercepted without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to or from our Online Service. This includes e-mail you send to us through our various mailboxes, our e-mails for specific information e-mailed from our Online Service to you or others. If you are concerned about your privacy, we suggest that you do not use e-mail to communicate information to us that you consider sensitive
Privacy Concerns
If you have any concerns about the security or privacy of your personal identifiable information on the Online Service, please contact us at service@AutoPointFIX.com or send a written notification to.

Contests
When we run a contest, we may ask for personal information when you enter the contest. If so, we will describe in each instance why we are asking for that personal information and how we plan to use that information.
