a user must provide contact information (name and shipping address)
and financial information (credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's
orders. If Servce Honda has trouble processing an order, this
contact information is used to get in touch with the user. All
customer information obtained via the order form is encrypted
for security purposes and stored on a secured server.

information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked
to any personally identifiable information while on our site.
Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates.
For example, a cookie is used to store items during shopping so
that a list of what you are ordering is maintained. If a user
rejects the cookie, they may still use the site. The only drawback
to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our
site. For example, the user, may not be able to use the shopping
basket function on the site. Cookies can also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience
on the site.
LOG FILES:

user's movement, and gather broad demographic and geographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information.

We may share demographic information.This is not linked to any
personal information that can identify any individual person.
However, Service Honda may send E-mails or mail about special
offers at the Dealership or other offers or information that may
be of interest to the user based on the information we collect.
Service Honda uses an outside company (such as UPS, USPS, Fed
Ex. etc.) to ship orders, and a credit card processing company
to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not to
our knowledge, retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
We may partner with another party to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share names,
or other contact information that is necessary for the third party
to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use
personally identifiable information except for the purpose of
providing these services.

of such other sites. We encourage our users to read the privacy
statements of every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this web site.
SURVEY AND CONTESTS:
From time to time, our site requests information from users via
surveys or may offer contests. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has
a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address) and demographic information (such as zip code and age
level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES:

changes here so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we
disclose it.
SECURITY:
This web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the web site, their
information is protected both online and off-line.
When our order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number, that information is encrypted and
is protected with the best encryption software in the industry
- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
unlocked, or open, when you are just "surfing".
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, has restricted access at Service
Honda. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, order clerk, sales representative, or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Access to the information is made via a password-protected
site. Each time an employee needs to access information, they
must enter their password to gain access to the information. Furthermore,
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Employees are periodically notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure
our customers' information is protected.
If you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to gfoster at servicehonda.com
SUPPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION:
In order for this web site to properly fulfill its obligation
to our customers, it may be necessary for us to supplement the
information we receive with information from third party sources.
For example, to determine if customers qualify for financing,
Service Honda may use their name and social security number to
request a credit report or approval from a lending institution.
SITE AND SERVICE UPDATES:
Service Honda may send the user site and service announcement
updates which contain important information about the service.
We communicate with the user to provide requested services and
in regard to issues relating to their account via e-mail or phone.
CORRECTING / UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such
as address or E-mail), or if a user no longer desires to receive
information from Servcie Honda, we will endeavor to correct, update
or remove that user's personal data from our database. This can
usually be done by e-mailing our Customer Support at parts at
servicehonda.com
