Visitor Information
The mynetwheels.com web server uses an extended log file format which captures: date and time of visit, referring address (location from which a visitor comes to mynetwheels.com), type of Internet browser, and visitor's IP address. (Each computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique number, an IP address, for identification purposes). The log file does not capture a visitor's email address.

Personal Information
Certain areas of mynetwheels.com ask for personal information. mynetwheels.com uses this personal information to aid in presenting its customers with a better interactive experience and to facilitate the customer's ability to make purchases and orders from the mynetwheels.com website. To register for a login user ID, your name, address, email address, billing information, and business profile are requested. This information is collected to help us further develop our services, to provide you access to valuable mynetwheels.com Internet-based information and services, and to facilitate the billing process for those services if you elect to use them. Customers will have the ability to access and change the information which they have provided to mynetwheels.com by use of the appropriate features on the mynetwheels.com website. The information we gather falls into two categories: (1) information supplied by visitors to the site when they list wheels and tires for sale, perform a search, enter a sweepstakes or other promotional contest, or inquire about wheels and tires listed for sale or about another product or service offered through our website; and (2) tracking information gathered as visitors navigate through our website and review our email newsletters and other email messages. Third-party providers featured on or linked to by our website, such as vendors of products and services offered through our site, may be gathering information, as well, through processes we don't control.

Use of Personal Information
The information collected through this site helps us identify the type of web site content that our customers value, allowing us to market and improve the web site and our services. The information is also used to send email notifications to customers about updates to the web site, and to contact customers by other means for marketing and other purposes. Our policy is to not give, sell or otherwise distribute the information collected through this site to third parties outside of mynetwheels.com and its subsidiaries (unless required by law); provided, however, in some cases we may use suppliers to assist us in collecting, using or otherwise processing for our benefit the information obtained through this site. mynetwheels.com does use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. Our practice is to require our Local Shops, Wholesalers, and Manufacturers to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with this policy and our requirements.

Searches and Listings
To make use of certain features on our site, visitors need to provide limited information about themselves and their interests so that we can tailor the information we provide to their needs. For example, to help you find the wheels and tires you want close to home, we need to know what kind of products you're looking for and your zip code. We ask you to provide this information when you perform a search. We use this information to help you find the products you're looking for. If you find a listing that interests you and elect to send the seller an email through our website, we'll share with the seller the contact information you supply through our online "Contact Seller" form. Some Local Shops,Wholesalers and Manufacturers that list products for sale on our site use third-party service providers to manage their "leads" (that is, the inquiries they receive from consumers who are interested in the products they've listed for sale). If they have designated a provider of lead management services, we may also share with that provider any information you elect to send to Local Shops, Wholesalers or Manufacturers through our "Contact Seller" form. Wheel and Tire manufacturers like to monitor how responsive their Local Shops or Wholesalers are to consumer inquiries. To help them monitor and improve dealer performance, we may also provide wheel and tire manufacturers with the information you send their Local Shops and Wholesalers using our "Contact Seller" tool. If you find a listing for a wheel and tire that interests you and elect to send the seller an email through our website, we'll also share the information you supply through our "Contact Seller" form with the manufacturer of the wheel and tire you're inquiring about.

If you do not wish to share your email address or other contact information with sellers who advertise on our website, lead management service providers, wheel and tire manufacturers, you should not use our "Contact Seller" form. Many of the Local Shops,Wholesalers and Manufacturers listings that appear on our website include toll-free telephone numbers that can be used to contact the Local Shops and Wholesalers that is selling the advertised products. If you call any of Local Shops, Wholesalers or Manufacturers using one of these toll-free numbers, we may provide them with the date, time, and duration of your call, as well as the number from which your call originated.

When you list wheels and tires for sale, we ask for information on the wheels and tires and on how you can be contacted by potential buyers. We also ask for your credit card number and the expiration date on your card.
