Werks Automotive encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Werks Automotive so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Werks Automotive is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Werks Automotive and Werks Automotive family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
Werks Automotive collects and uses your personal information to operate the Werks Automotive Web site and deliver the services you have requested.

Werks Automotive may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Cookies
The Werks Automotive Web site use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Werks Automotive pages, or register with Werks Automotive site or services, a cookie helps Werks Automotive to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Werks Automotive Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Werks Automotive features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Werks Automotive services or Web sites you visit.
Use of Pixel Tags
The Werks Automotive Web site and our service providers such as Ad Roll may also use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) in connection with some Site pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single-pixel (1×1), that is ordinarily not visible to Site visitors and may be associated with Cookies on the visitors’ hard drives. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site, to deliver branded services, to serve ads, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted e-mail messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the e-mail has been opened.
If you prefer that we not share Non-PII with partners, including third parties that use tracking technologies to deliver targeted display advertising based on such information, please CLICK HERE (http://www.networkadvertising.org/) to access the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out.
Security of your Personal Information
Werks Automotive secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Werks Automotive secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
