Pelican Parts, LLC - Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 6th, 2020

Your privacy is important to Pelican Parts, LLC (Company, we, us). This privacy policy (Policy) explains how Company collects, uses, and discloses information through its websites, platform, mobile applications and other online services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the Services) or otherwise interact with us. If you obtain your use of the Services in connection with the services offered by a third party, the individual terms of that third partys contract with us and its own privacy policy may differ from what is described in this Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may change this Policy from time to time. If we make any changes to this Policy, we will change the last updated date above. If there are material changes to this Policy and you have an active account with us, we will notify you more directly. We encourage you to check this Policy whenever you use any of Services to understand how your personal information is used.

Information Collected

We collect information from you in various ways when you use our Services. We may also supplement this information with information from other companies. We collect two general types of information: personal information and aggregate data. As used in this Policy, the term personal information means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name and email address), and demographic and other information when directly linked to information that can identify an individual.

Our definition of personal information does not include aggregate data. Aggregate data is information we collect about a group or category of services or users from which individual user identities have been removed. In other words, no personal information is included in aggregate data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends in our users needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our Services.

The following are the specific types of information we collect from you:

Information You Give Us. We collect information you give through our Services, and when you register for and use our Services. Examples include the following:

Registration and Contact Information. When you register to use our Services or update your profile, we may collect various kinds of information about you including, your name and email address; shipping address; company name, company title, and other profile information you provide; demographic information; and information you upload like photos.
Device and Activity Information. When you use your mobile device with the Services, data recorded on your mobile device about your activity is transferred from your mobile device to our servers. This data is stored and used to provide the Service and is associated with your account. We also collect information about any rehabilitee protocols you may be using.
Payment and Shipping Information. If you choose to order a product through the Services, our payment processing vendor collects your payment card information and billing address, and your shipping address and other contact details, such as email address and phone number, may also be collected.
Submissions and Company Services. From time to time we may use surveys, contests or sweepstakes requesting personal or demographic information and customer feedback. If you choose to order a product through the Services, you may post a Product review.

Automatically Collected Information. We automatically receive certain types of information when you interact with our Services. For example, it is standard for your web browser to automatically send information to every web site you visit, including ours. That information includes your computers IP address, access times, your browser type and language, and referring web site addresses. We may also collect information about the type of operating system you use, your account activity, and files and pages accessed or used by you.

Among other things, the use of cookies and web beacons enables us to improve our Services and emails by seeing which areas and features are most popular, to count the number of computers accessing our web site, to personalize and improve your experience, to record your preferences, and to allow you to visit our Services without re-entering your member ID and/or password.

However, if a browser is set not to accept cookies or if a user rejects a cookie, some portions of the web site and services may not function properly. For example, you may not be able to sign in and access certain web page features or services.
