South Bay Lube, Inc. Privacy Principles
(last updated 23 October, 2001)
Overview
South Bay Lube, Inc. ("SBL") is committed to protecting our
customers' and consumers' privacy. SBL's Privacy Principles guide our
conduct in the collection and use of all personal information needed to
understand and meet our customers' and consumers' needs. We encourage you
to read this document. We provide links to third party web sites whose
privacy policies we do not control. We also encourage you to review the
privacy policies on these linked sites and all web sites you visit.
SBL business units implement specific privacy rules and practices,
consistent with these principles, to ensure that good privacy management
practices are employed company-wide. We require that our business
partners, vendors, and suppliers also embrace these rules and practices
whenever they manage personal information on our behalf. We respect and
adhere to privacy laws and regulations in the countries where we do
business and support industry self-regulation as an effective means for
keeping pace with the latest developments in technology.
Collecting and using personal information
SBL collects and uses personal information in order to provide quality
products, services, and information to our customers and consumers. We
collect demographic information such as age and gender, lifestyle
information such as personal interests, and other relevant information
such as product usage and preferences in order to provide tailored or in
some cases customized products, services, information, and/or offers that
will provide the greatest benefit to our customers and consumers. For
example, we may ask for a consumer's address and product preferences so
that we may send samples of a product that closely fits individual needs.
Or, we may ask a parent to provide us with his or her e-mail address and
childrens' ages so that we may provide a newsletter packed with parenting
tips for car travel with children at the exact ages of the family members.
Contact information may be gathered so that we can respond to a consumer's
question or request. We limit the collection of personal information to
what we need to know in order to achieve our goal of providing products
and services that enhance the car and the driving experience.
While our consumers volunteer to us most of the information we store in
our databases, that information is augmented by purchased data in some
situations. This information is made available to us by companies that
aggregate data from publicly available sources, such as telephone
directories and public records.
In addition to the many brand names they know and trust, we also
deliver superior value by providing tailored, relevant information,
products, services and offers to our customers and consumers. Examples of
the products and services we may provide to consumers include:
- Newsletters that provide important information and useful advice
- Answers to car care questions and requests
- New product announcements
- Contests and sweepstakes
- Free sample offers
- Online product ordering
- Personalized subscription services, such as reminders to service
their automobiles
- Membership in an interest community, such as a club for owners of
high-mileage vehicles
These, and other customized offerings designed to meet the individual
needs of each consumer, may include requests for personal information. We
learn about our consumers' special or individual needs by collecting
information from and about our consumers. We often survey consumers to ask
their product preferences without collecting any personally identifiable
information about them. The survey responses are aggregated to provide an
overall picture of consumer preferences, and personal information is not
needed for us to provide increasing benefits to consumers.
SBL informs consumers about the information we collect, how we use it,
whether it will be transferred to third parties to provide the products or
services requested, and how to contact SBL with privacy inquiries. Where
possible, we provide consumers with details prior to their providing
information. In other situations, we provide consumers with this
information the first time we re-contact them for a different purpose than
the one for which it was provided.
Sharing information
We may share the personal information consumers provide to us with
other companies we have hired to provide services for us. For example, we
often hire companies to mail consumers oil change reminders, mail samples
or send newsletters for us. We engage in business relationships with
companies that we believe operate in a highly ethical and professional
manner. These companies are contractually bound to use personal
information shared with them only to deliver the services we have hired
them to provide. We do not otherwise share personal information without
the consumer's consent unless required by law or the consumer has granted
us permission to do so.
Controlling, accessing and updating your personal information
Our consumers voluntarily provide us with most of the personal
information we collect. Whenever possible, we notify consumers that the
data they are providing will be stored in our databases for future use,
prior to their making a decision to provide information. This allows
consumers to decide whether or not they agree to have their information
stored in our databases in exchange for the product or service they
desire. Of course, not providing us with their personal information may
prevent them from receiving the full benefit of our personalized or
tailored offerings, but we fully respect this choice and make our best
efforts to still deliver the best products and services that circumstances
allow.
Consumers always have the option to ask us not to use their information
or to remove it from our mailing lists. Consumers who wish to have their
information updated, corrected or suppressed, or who wish to opt-out from
our mailing lists, may contact SBL at the address given at the end of this
document. Consumers should provide us with their names, addresses, other
relevant contact information (phone number, E-mail address), and the name
of the brands and programs they wish to be removed from. SBL will use
reasonable efforts to comply with such requests as soon as possible.
We may collect information via technologies. For example, the use of
cookies is implemented on some of our web sites. Cookies are small files
that web sites place on your computer to identify it and provide a better
visitor experience. You can disable cookies in your browser and still
access our web sites. However, disabling cookies may cause some web site
functions, such as a shopping cart for online purchase, to not operate
properly and will limit your use of some services.
We anticipate that technology advancements will soon give consumers a
broader and more comprehensive range of privacy options while also
allowing us to collect information about our products and services. When
these advancements are implemented on our web sites, we will inform our
consumers about these technologies, the information that they may gather,
and the benefits they provide so that our consumers understand and make
knowledgeable decisions to manage their use.
Data quality and access
In order to best serve our customers and consumers, we may transfer
personal information to SBL databases located in countries other than the
one in which it was provided. Our policy is to ensure that personal
information is provided the same level of protection, no matter where it
is stored.
SBL provides consumers with reasonable access to the personal
information they have provided us so that they can review and correct it,
or ask us not to use it. SBL takes necessary steps to ensure consumers'
personal information is accurate, complete, and current.
Accurate information is essential to our ability to provide useful and
targeted products, offers, and services. Consumers wishing to access
personal information that they have provided to us, or request that
information about them be corrected or updated, may submit their request
to the SBL address listed at the end of this document.
When contacting us, consumers should provide us with their name,
address, and other relevant contact information (phone number, e-mail
address). SBL reserves the right to request a username, password, and/or
additional information so that we can be sure personal information is
available only to the person who provided it. We will use reasonable
efforts to respond to data access requests as soon as possible.
SBL plans to use applicable suppression list services available from
direct marketing associations in countries where they exist. These
organizations maintain "do not contact" lists consisting of the names of
people who have specified that they do not want to receive unsolicited
marketing materials. It is not in the best interests of either SBLC or our
consumers to send unsolicited marketing materials to people who do not
want them, and therefore we view the use of suppression list services as
an essential part of our direct marketing programs.
Your Children's Personal Information
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under
the age of 13. If we learn that we have received personal information from
a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our
systems. SBL encourages parents to go online with their children. Here are
a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:
- Teach children never to give personal information such as their
name, address, phone number or school, to anyone unless supervised by a
parent or responsible adult.
- Know the Internet sites your child is visiting and which sites are
appropriate. Many software packages are available to help parents
identify and keep their children away from objectionable or unsafe
sites.
- Look for Web site privacy policies at each Web site you and/or your
child visits. Know how your child's information is treated.
Security
SBL takes the utmost care of personal information given to us by
consumers. We store personal information in password-controlled servers
with limited access. We protect this information to prevent loss, misuse,
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or inadvertent destruction.
Individuals who have been granted access to personal information are aware
of their responsibility to protect the security and confidentiality of
that information, and have been provided with training or instructions on
how to do so. Sensitive personal information, such as a credit card
number, is transmitted over the Internet using encryption.
For your protection we recommend that you never provide your SBL
account information, username, or password to anyone. Do not select a
password that is easy for another person to guess, for example the name of
your child or a favorite hobby. If your password should become exposed to
another person, we recommend you change it immediately. If you become
aware of any suspicious activity relating to your SBL account information,
please contact us immediately so that we may investigate.
Accountability
SBL holds its employees, business partners, suppliers and vendors
accountable for maintaining the trust our consumers place in us. We
provide privacy training and information to our employees, and
periodically audit our compliance with our Privacy Principles. Improper
handling of personal information is viewed as a serious breach of conduct
and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of
employment.
We periodically audit our privacy program as a means to measure
compliance with our own privacy principles and processes. Audits are
conducted by individual business organizations and by our internal
controls organization, and results are reported to SBL senior management.
SBL supports industry self-regulation as an effective means for
protecting the privacy of each individual. SBL seeks to join with
effective self-regulatory programs and adhere to their dispute resolution
processes.
SBL respects all privacy laws and regulations in the countries where we
do business. We seek to work cooperatively with local governments to
establish the most effective mechanisms available to protect the privacy
of their citizens.
Changes to these Principles
SBL will occasionally update these principles. When we do, we will also
revise the "last updated" date on this page. For material changes to the
Privacy Principles, SBL will notify you by placing prominent notice on the
web site.

SBL may be directed to the following source:
