Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information collected on our site to others. You expressly consent to the sharing of your personal information with our company and third parties as described below.

Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your personal information with our third-party service providers for tracking purposes, to charge your credit card, fill your order, improve the functionality of our site, customize our marketing efforts with you, perform statistical and data analyses, deliver your order and promotional emails from us, or to provide us with other services we request. These third parties may not use your personal information other than to provide the services requested by us.

Direct Marketing Companies: From time to time, we may disclose certain information (names, postal addresses, and non-sensitive transactional information such as your purchase history, amounts paid, and products ordered) to direct marketing companies for trade or rental purposes.

Non-Personal Information: We may provide non-personal information, including aggregated or segmented statistics about our users, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information, to third parties.

Friends: If you are using the ‘email a friend’ service on our site, you may have the option of sharing your personal information, as well as information that you have entered regarding third parties, with others.

Recipient Requests: From time to time, we are contacted by gift recipients who ask us who the sender was. If we receive a request from a recipient asking who sent a gift, we will provide the name and any other information as contained on the gift message accompanying the gift. If there is no gift message filled out or if there is no name on the gift message, we may ask the sender via phone or email. If we receive approval to disclose the sender’s name from the sender via email or in writing, we will then inform the recipient. If the sender does not reply via email or in writing or if the sender denies permission, then we will not reveal the sender’s identity to the recipient.

Enforcement of Law and Other Disclosures: We may disclose personal information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us or to protect or defend the rights, property, or safety of our users, others, and ourselves. For example, we may release account information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or to protect or defend the rights, property, and safety of our users, others, and ourselves. We may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide personal information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose personal information upon receipt of a court order or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.

Collecting Your Information

To provide you with numerous products and services, our site collects two types of information from visitors: personal information and non-personal information. We collect information from you in order to provide you with a smooth and efficient experience while using our site.

Personal Information: “Personal Information” refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact, or locate you. Personal Information is requested when you register with us, order a product or service, and correspond with us. Personal information might include your name, telephone number, mobile phone number, mailing and email address, and other identification and contact information. If you are using email a friend, we may ask you to provide the name and email address so that we may send them or you an email. We will also collect certain financial information, like your credit card number. With this information, we can fill your service and product orders and better provide you with personalized services. You also may have the option of importing information into certain site from third-party software. This information may include the types of information described above, as well as other types of information that you have entered into these third-party programs.

Non-Personal Information: “Non-Personal Information” refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. This information may be compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the Internet. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the Internet. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Internet, allowing Internet servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse, and shop.

Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this policy, we are the only entity collecting your information. This policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. We encourage you to ask questions and to be very cautious before you disclose your personal information to others.

Cookies and Clear GIFs Used on Our Site

Cookies: Like many other commercial sites, our site utilizes standard technologies called “cookies” and clear GIFs to collect information about how our site is used, and provide direct personalized marketing from AA Plus Driving School. A cookie is a small data text file, which a website stores on your computer’s hard drive (if your web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. Cookies were designed to help a website recognize a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot be read by a website other than the one that set the cookie. Cookies can securely store a user’s password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of selections, such as those selected in a “shopping cart.” For instance, cookies allow us to pre-populate (or fill in) an email field with your email address if you revisit one of our site and place an order. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus, or capture your email address. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser.

Clear GIFs: At times, we work with third-party service partners that employ clear GIFs (also known as pixel tags, single pixel GIFs, web beacons, or action tags) for our benefit or the benefit of a third-party to help us or such third-party measure advertising effectiveness. Clear GIFs help us better manage content on our site by informing us of what content is effective. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of our users. The main difference between the two is that clear GIFs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

These third-party service partners use clear GIFs: (i) in HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients; (ii) to record when products have been ordered from our site; and (iii) to track the visitor traffic on our site. These clear GIFs allow us to measure the usage of each of our site by our visitors and the effectiveness of certain communications and marketing campaigns. We may also use clear GIFs in a similar manner in our own emails and on our site.

Correcting, Amending, or Deleting Your Personal Information

During the online ordering process, you can amend, change, or delete the information that you have submitted. You may change your personal information in your account(s) online at any time. You may ask us in writing via mail or email at [email address] to have the information on your account deleted, updated, or corrected; however, because we keep track of past purchases, you cannot delete information associated with past purchases. We may also be required by law or otherwise to keep certain information and therefore will not delete it or will delete it only after we have fulfilled the applicable requirements.

Security Measures to Protect Against the Loss, Misuse, or Alteration of Your Information

We employ reasonable security measures to protect the security of the information you submit to us. Our servers protect this information using password protection and advanced encryption, and we may use firewall technology for additional protection.

In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third-party banking institutions, process agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information they need to verify and authorize your credit card transactions and to ship your order. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, we offer secured server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart someone from intercepting it and misusing it. When you access your account information, the information is kept on a secure server. Furthermore, all of the user data we collect is protected against unauthorized access by physical security means.
