When you purchase a product from our store, we collect personal information such as your name, billing and shipping address, email, and payment details as part of the buying and selling process. We also automatically receive your computer's IP address when you browse our store to help us learn about your browser and operating system for improved functionality.

With your consent, we may also use your email to send product updates, promotions, and marketing communications.

How do we obtain consent?

By providing personal information to complete a transaction, place an order, verify your payment method, or arrange for a return, you consent to us collecting and using that information for those specific purposes only. If we request your information for any other purpose (e.g., marketing), we will either ask directly for your express consent or provide you with an option to decline.

How do I withdraw consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at support@autotecknic.com or by mail at AutoTecknic USA, 2640 River Ave, Rosemead, CA 91770, USA.

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

Our website is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the e-commerce platform to sell our products. Your data is stored on Shopify's secure servers protected by firewalls and encryption.

Payment Security

If you use a direct payment gateway, Shopify encrypts your credit card data per PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards). All direct gateways adhere to PCI-DSS standards, ensuring secure handling of payment information.

For more details, please refer to the Shopify Terms of Service and Shopify Privacy Policy.

Third-party providers used by us (e.g., shipping, fraud prevention, payment processors) will only access your information as needed to perform their services. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies, especially if they operate under a different jurisdiction.

If your transaction involves services hosted in another country (e.g., payment processors in the U.S.), your data may be subject to that country's laws.

We follow industry best practices and PCI-DSS guidelines to safeguard your personal information. This includes secure socket layer (SSL) encryption and AES-256 encryption for payment information.

While no system is 100% secure, we continuously work to maintain a secure environment for your data.
