This helps us identify any user experience issues and opportunities to improve the shopping experience. This includes the use of session cookies, which are a piece of identification between your browser and our server that helps to do things such as keeping track of the items in your shopping cart.

Vendors, consultants, and other service providers. We may transmit your Personal Information to third party vendors, consultants, and service providers who assist us in processing orders, shipping products, processing payment information, sending catalogs, conducting surveys, processing job applications, and sending emails and newsletters. We have agreements with these third parties that require protection of your Personal Information in accordance with the terms of this Policy. Some of these third parties may have their own privacy statements, which may give you additional protections. You are encouraged to read those statements when presented.
Affiliates and business partners. We may provide Personal Information to affiliated companies and business partners with whom we jointly offer products or services. In such cases, our affiliate’s or business partner’s name will appear along with ours.
If you provide us with your postal address, you may receive periodic catalogs from us or other notices containing information about new products and services or upcoming events. Occasionally, we may make our postal mailing address lists available to subsidiaries and affiliated companies that are part of the AFCO Performance Group family of companies.

Merger, sale, or other asset transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, purchase or sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then we may sell or otherwise transfer your Personal Information as part of the transaction, as permitted by law and/or contract.
Legal purposes. We will disclose your Personal Information outside of Speedway Motors when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process. In such circumstances, we may, and you authorize us to, share information with the requesting government agency or investigatory body, including law enforcement or regulatory authorities. In all cases, we will require written documentation of the request, proof of the identity of the law enforcement official making the request, and we will take steps to authenticate the validity of the request. Any law enforcement or government agency request submitted with less than a court-issued order will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to the need and urgency as well as the particular law enforcement agency making the request.
With your consent. We may share your Personal Information for any other legitimate purpose if we notify and receive your consent for such disclosure.
How do I access, update, or delete my Personal Information?

Object to, limit or restrict use of your data. You can request that we stop using all or some of your Personal Information.

How long do you retain Personal Information?
We retain your Personal Information over the course of your use of a registered account on our Site and as further needed to facilitate and execute orders for products and services to you. We will also retain your Personal Information for as long a period as we have a lawful basis for the continued retention or processing, including legitimate interests where the processing of Personal Information is not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights. Personal information may be retained for extended time period for limited purposes, such as for our legal and compliance obligations. These bases are subject to your rights to access and control your data, as described above.
What kind of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control?
AFCO values your business and is committed to doing everything possible to make our online ordering process secure and protect your Personal Information. We use appropriate and reasonable security measures as required by relevant law and security best practices. Our Site also uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to communicate with secure browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Netscape, and Internet Explorer. These browsers encrypt your credit card and other Personal Information in a way that makes it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept and misuse while being transmitted between your computer and our server. If your browser is not secure, you will not be able to complete a purchase on our Site. We also take further precautions to protect the security and privacy of the information stored on our computer networks. Many of the systems which store your Personal Information are not connected to the Internet, reducing the likelihood of security breaches. Our systems are also housed in secure facilities, and access to your data by our employees is limited to a "need to know" basis, controlled by password protected systems, and monitored for abuse.
However, no system is 100% secure. We cannot warrant the security of any information that you send us, and we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If you are unsure of giving your credit card over the Internet, please feel free to phone, fax, or mail your order to us. For telephone ordering or assistance, please call 800.632.2320. Our fax number for orders is 800.319.2551. Or send your order to:
AFCO Performance Group Attn: Order Processing 977 Hyrock Blvd. Boonville, IN 47601.
If you have any further questions regarding our data security practices, please contact us at 800.632.2320 or email us at apgccpa@afcoracing.com.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 16, nor do we market or direct our services or products to children under the age of 16.
