By coming to the Warranty Informer Website, you are agreeing to and accepting this Privacy Policy as well as the User Agreement governing our services.

What personally identifiable information do I provide to Warranty Informer, and how does Warranty Informer use it?

  • Personally identifiable information refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Warranty Informer collects only the personally identifiable information that you provide to us if you register as a registered user on the Warranty Informer Website, such as your name and e-mail address.
  • Warranty Informer uses your personally identifiable information to communicate with you regarding your account or the Warranty Informer Website. These communications may include, without limitation, notices regarding material changes to the Warranty Informer Website’s policies, service updates, and service enhancements. Since these account-related communications are necessary to ensure we provide our users with the highest quality of services, our users are not permitted to opt out from receipt of these communications.

What other information is collected about me on the Warranty Informer Website and by whom?

  • Like most websites, Warranty Informer employs cookies to recognize you and your access privileges on the Warranty Informer Website. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store in a designated file on your computer. When you visit a site, that site can access only the information which it stored in your cookie – not information put on your computer by other web-based services.
  • Warranty Informer maintains internal logs of users’ use of the Warranty Informer Website. Logs include information such as IP address, browser type and version, and computer operating system. Warranty Informer uses logs mainly for systems administration and diagnostic purposes, and to detect improper use of the site. Logs may also be used to generate aggregate, non-personally identifiable information for advertisers or other third parties.
  • Warranty Informer may also contract, from time to time, with third parties to help us understand how people use our website and to provide functionalities such as email distribution, ad serving, customer surveys, comments, and content sharing. These companies also use cookies. They may also use other tracking technologies, such as web beacons (also known as clear GIFs, web bugs, tracking pixels or action tags), which are similar in function to cookies, allowing them to determine when users have reached particular web pages on the Warranty Informer Website.
  • Cookies and web beacons allow Warranty Informer and its third-party service providers to collect and analyze aggregate information about how its website is used.
  • We also allow third-party companies to collect certain information within our email newsletters. These companies may place an anonymous cookie and use a de-identified, non-human readable version of your email address for matching to other data collected from (or across) sites about you to improve the relevance of online advertising and personalization. Never is your actual email address shared with any company.

How is my personally identifiable information or site usage data used?

  • Warranty Informer may share your personally identifiable information with others under the types of circumstances described in this Privacy Policy. We also reserve the right to assign, sell, license, or otherwise transfer to a third party your personally identifiable information in connection with an assignment, sale, joint venture, or other transfer of all or substantially all of our assets.
  • We may make personally identifiable information available without your prior written or electronic consent, as required by law, court order, or as requested by other government or law enforcement authority.
  • Advertisements, promotional offers, promotional e-mails, newsletters, "free gifts," and links, for example, on the Warranty Informer Website or sent via e-mail or other means from Warranty Informer may ask for personally identifiable information from you. If you choose to provide this information, your personally identifiable information may be provided (either directly from you or by Warranty Informer) to the advertiser or website or company making the offer or providing the gift. This Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy and information practices of those advertisers or websites linked to the Warranty Informer Website.
  • Warranty Informer may use other companies and persons to perform certain functions for us. These functions might include, for example, providing customer service and sending e-mail. These other companies and persons may have access to customer information (such as personally identifiable information) that is needed to perform their functions, but they are not authorized to use it for any other purposes. In addition, we may share information with other affiliated companies and joint ventures.
  • We may use and/or distribute information about you and your use of the Warranty Informer Website in ways that do not identify you individually or reveal your identity.
