Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Certified Car Care collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
Certified Car Care’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Certified Car Care’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Certified Car Care may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Certified Car Care also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on CertifiedCarCare.com blogs/sites.
Certified Car Care only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Certified Car Care’s websites choose to interact with Certified Car Care in ways that require Certified Car Care to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Certified Car Care gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

Those who engage in transactions with Certified Car Care are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.
In each case, Certified Car Care collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Certified Car Care. Certified Car Care does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
