How we use your information
Hydrostart uses your personal information to provide you with services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and to personalize some Hydrostart websites. Occasionally we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding Hydrostart products or services.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Hydrostart, information collected through one Hydrostart service may be combined with information obtained through other Hydrostart services.
Our privacy practices are designed to provide protection for your personal information, all over the world. We may share your personal information within Hydrostart and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business. Some countries may provide less legal protection for your information. In such countries Hydrostart will still handle information in the manner we describe here.
Non-personal data is aggregated for reporting about Hydrostart website usability, performance and effectiveness. It is used to improve the customer experience, usability and site content.
Who we share your information with
Hydrostart will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. Hydrostart will not share your personal information with third parties except in responding to your requests for products or services. Your permission will be requested when you submit your information.
Suppliers and service providers are required to keep confidential the information received on behalf of Hydrostart and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Hydrostart. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers.
Hydrostart will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the rights and properties of Hydrostart or its subsidiaries; or (iv) to protect the personal safety of Hydrostart employees and third parties on Hydrostart property.
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, Hydrostart decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is Hydrostart’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
Your choices
Hydrostart gives you the choice of receiving a variety of information that complements our products and services. You can subscribe to receive certain product- and service-specific information and Hydrostart-wide marketing communications. Hydrostart-wide communications may include new product information, special offers, or an invitation to participate in market research. This option does not apply to communications for the purpose of administering order completion, contracts, support, product safety warnings or driver updates.
Your privacy preferences and opting out
Non-subscription services
Hydrostart will not use your personal information for a different purpose than the one stated when you provided your data. Examples of unrelated uses include sending communications about special offers, product information, and marketing messages.
Keeping your information secure
Hydrostart is committed to protecting the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, Hydrostart has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
