Privacy Policy

Online Privacy
At Car Part Connection and Autobahn Performance, we are committed to ensuring your privacy as a customer. You can be confident that we will not sell or exchange our customer's names or other information with third parties.

Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data that is automatically placed on your computer's hard drive. Browsers are designed so that we cannot look at other sites' cookies and they cannot look at ours. If you configure your browser so that is will not accept cookies, you can still place orders online at Car Part Connection, but we cannot "remember" the year, make and model of your car.

Email Promotions
When you register to have us "remember" your car, you are asked if you want us to provide email updates on specials, contests or events. If the box is checked when you submit, you will receive these promotions when they are implemented. If the box is unchecked, you will not receive email correspondence from us.

Security

Encryption
Car Part Connection uses the latest 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology to encrypt all transactions that require personal information. The industry standard for security, SSL scrambles user data, including names, credit card numbers, and addresses, so that the information cannot be read as it travels over the Internet. This protection means it will actually be safer for you to use your credit card over the Internet rather than using it in a store where your card number appears on multiple hard copies and receipts. You can check the security of your Internet session by looking at the bottom of your browser; if a "locked" padlock icon appears, you are on a secure page; if the padlock icon is "unlocked," you are not on a secure page.

Credit Card Use
We guarantee that every transaction you make with Car Part Connection.com is safe. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than fifty dollars of fraudulent charges on your credit card. If, through no fault of your own, any unauthorized charges are made to your card as a result of placing an order using our secure server and your bank should hold you liable for any of this fifty dollars, Car Part Connection.com will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full fifty dollars. Please be sure to notify your credit card provider in the event of unauthorized use of your credit card.
