What Personal Information About Customers does GSF Carparts gather?

This information is gathered from the forms used to 1) request a paper catalogue 2) Place an order on the on-line shop 3) Register to use and join the Forum. You can choose not to provide certain information, and mandatory fields on forms are simply there so that we have, for example, your correct name, address and postcode.

We will not e-mail you in the future unless you have given us your consent. We will give you the chance to refuse any marketing email from us in the future. You may email sales@gsfcarparts.com at any time if you wish to opt out of receiving any marketing material that we may send you.

The type of information we will collect about you includes:

• your name

The information we hold should be accurate and up to date. You can check the information that we hold about you by emailing us at sales@gsfcarparts.com If you find any inaccuracies we will delete or correct it promptly.

The personal information which we hold will be held securely in accordance with our internal security policy and the Law. If we intend to transfer your information outside the EEA (European Economic Area) we will always obtain your consent first.

We may use technology to track the patterns of behaviour of visitors to our site. This can include using a "cookie" which would be stored on your browser. You can usually modify your browser to prevent this happening. The information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you modify your browser settings. For those using Windows ® you can modify your browser settings to either prompt before you accept a cookie, or reject all cookies.

Do GSF Car Parts share information about you?

• No. Information that we receive about you, obtained from on-line orders and catalogue requests is not passed outside the GSF Group unless strictly necessary to deliver your order (see "Outside Agents" below). Our aim is to respect your personal details and privacy. Other information about you, such as your email address is not divulged to any other outside party, and any mailing lists are encrypted so that no one else receiving a newsletter from us would know the identity of anyone else on the mailing list.
• Outside Agents. We use carrier companies such as Securicor, Parcelforce and UPS to deliver your order. Your name and address only are held on the carrier’s computers in order that labels may be printed out to attach to the parcel. The carrier’s computers are within our premises, so that a database of customer details cannot be passed on to outside organisations.
• Other Outside Parties: When requested by Law, we would release information about you, for example during the course of a Police or Customs investigation.

How Secure is GSFcarparts.com?

www.gsfcarparts.com is a VeriSign Secure Site. Security remains the primary concern of on-line consumers. The VeriSign Secure Site Program allows you to learn more about web sites you visit before you submit any confidential information. You can verify our security status by clicking on the VeriSign Secure Site logo within the On-line shop or on our homepage or by clicking here.

We use a VeriSign Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to ensure maximum security while sending information via email and forms. Information sent from addresses that begin HTTPS is encrypted before transmission.

A Secure Socket Layer is a method of encrypting the information a web browser and a web server send to each other. An SSL-enhanced browser uses encryption to scramble the data you send to a web site into an unintelligible string of seemingly random characters. This process makes it almost impossible for anyone to intercept your order and illegally obtain information about you. To ensure complete security, all Forms and Shop orders sent from our Web Server to our staff at our Heathrow HQ are encrypted using private key 128 bit encryption in order that only GSF staff with the correct matching key pair on their computer can open Shop orders, catalogue requests, or any form on which your details have been input.

The persons responsible for the security of www.gsfcarparts.com are Jonathan Wood jon.wood@gsfcarparts.com and Patrick Thomas patrick@gsfcarparts.com and these persons:

• Regularly review the security of the system
• Ensure that any changes to the system are made in a secure way
• Ensure that the security guidelines of the system supplier are followed

GSF Carparts does not sell products for purchase by children. It is assumed that adults using their own debit/credit card make all on-line purchases.
