Data collection

Power Brake Exchange, Inc. collects limited, non-personally-identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit a web site. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your download and in some cases, one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to operate, develop and improve our services.

Some of our services require you to register. Power Brake Exchange, Inc. asks you for some personal information in order to create an account (typically your name, email address, physical address, and phone number) and we will use that information to provide the service. For certain services, such as our Online Shop, we may request credit card or other payment information, which is not permanently stored on our servers, but is kept temporarily in memory on our servers while we are negotiating the transaction with our payment processor. We never store your full credit card number, or any part of your card security code, on our servers.

When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types of information we collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us.
