Before the legalese - We here at Acme are people just like you and just like you we don't want our personal information abused by anyone. In that spirit, we try to gather as little personal information, about you as an individual, as possible. We do gather data and compile it so we can create statistical reports and graphs. Any personal information we may have about you is used internally. We don't send you email or anything else, unless you signed up to receive it. If you ever want to stop receiving email from us, the email includes an easy to find and use Unsubscribe link. Forums users can stop email from within their forum account. We do work with other companies, such as advertisers, and they may collect their own data. Please read their privacy policies for information about them and their practices. Now back to the lawyers.

ACME PARTS.com, Inc. has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website: ACME PARTS.com, ACME HOW TO.com and ACME DIY.com

We do share information on an aggregated or statistical basis.

Our web site logs IP addresses and browser types to gather broad demographic information, but we do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

Our site may use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart, to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, and for other user experience related purposes.

Our site's registration forms may require users to give us contact information (such as their name and e-mail address) and demographic information (such as their zip code, age, or income level). We use customer contact information from the registration forms to send the user requested information. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data for other purposes. We use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis.

ACME PARTS.com does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may choose to do so in the future with trustworthy third parties, but you can tell us not to by sending a blank e-mail message to .

Our online surveys ask visitors for demographic information (like their zip code, age, or income level). Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site.
