Information collection
Identifix is the sole owner of the information collected on NAPAFIX powered by Identifix. Identifix collects information from our customers at several different points on NAPAFIX powered by Identifix.

Registration
To register to use NAPAFIX powered by Identifix, we ask for a contact name, email address, mailing address, and method of payment. This information is used to set up your access to our service and for billing purposes. If we have a problem processing an order or receiving payment, the information is used to contact your business. We use this information to contact our customers, generally through email, to provide service updates, reminders, and usage tracking information. To help us provide more targeted services through our website(s), we also ask for some demographic information about the shop (such as number of technicians, services performed, number of bays, etc.). Providing demographic information is optional.

Information Use
NAPAFIX powered by Identifix is an automated and guided interactive diagnostic solution that provides a directed and dynamic step-by-step diagnostic process based on user input. It automatically assembles all relevant supporting information (specifications, diagrams, test procedures, component locations, TSBs, Repair-Tracs) needed by the technician to complete a successful diagnosis and repair. The information we gather enables approved technicians to access our web site for repair assistance. A log of each visit to our web site is stored by the customer and can be used to review the diagnostic steps and dates of repair completed on each vehicle. We also use this information to analyze the use and benefits of each feature of our site, and to help us make improvements.

Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, and third parties to create a profile of our users. A “profile” is information that we keep on individual businesses detailing their viewing preferences and habits. Consequently, collected information is tied to business information and to individual users to improve the content of the site for the user, to target training and to provide offers. We do not share user profiles with third parties but will share account status with our in-house sales reps.

Cookie
A “cookie” is a piece of data that is stored on the user’s computer and is tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies as well as persistant cookies. Once you close the browser, the session cookie simply ends while persistant cookies will be saved by your browser for retaining information for the next time you visit. We also use session ID cookies to keep one user’s activity separate from another's if more than one user at your business accesses our site at the same time.

Log Files
Like most standard web site servers, we use log files. “Log files” include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP) referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends and administer the site, track users’ movements in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information. Log files also store the record of each users’ site visit and provide the data for reviewing individual vehicle history.

Communications from the Site
	Special Offers and Updates We send all new members a “welcome” email, to verify password and user name. Established members will occasionally receive information on usage trends, site features, Identifix services, special offers and newsletters.
	Service Announcements On rare occasions, it may be necessary to send users a strictly service-related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send our customers an email. These communications are not promotional in nature.
	Customer Service We communicate with our customers on a regular basis to provide requested services. For issues concerning customer accounts, we reply via email or phone, depending on the customer’s preference.

Sharing
Legal Disclaimer Though we make every effort to preserve our customers’ privacy, we may need to disclose user profile information if required by law, or if we have good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, court order or legal process served on our website. These are the instances in which we will share business information:
	Sales and Training Activities Our in-house sales reps are told which repair facilities use NAPAFIX powered by Identifix. We may also share customer usage information with them to assist site training activities for the specific customer, if needed.
	Business Transitions In the event that Identifix is acquired by, or becomes part of, another company through sale or merger, our customers’ profile information will, in most instances, be considered part of these business transactions. If any such transactions occur, our customers will be notified in advance.
	Surveys and Contests From time to time, our site requests information from users in the form of surveys or contests. Typically, this includes contact information (such as, what percentage of import vehicles represent the total vehicles you service?). This information will help us monitor and improve our site. We will not share specific business information with third parties without prior approval from our customers. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary.
	Tell-A-Friend If you send us the name and email address of a friend you think would like our site, we will send your friend a one-time email invitation to visit our site. Your name will appear on the email invitation as the person who sent us this reference. Identifix uses this information for the sole purpose of sending this email and tracking the success of our referral program.
