Information We Collect by Automated Means (Cookies & Tracking Data): The Websites may use first party and third party products and services to gather traffic statistics through cookies, pixels, tags, and web beacons. A cookie is a small piece of information stored on your device that helps the Websites and multiple servers recognize you. ALLDATA and its third-party Service Providers may also use other tracking technologies such as pixels, or transparent GIF files, for app and web site management and user tracking.

Some of the cookies we use are “strictly necessary” for the functionality of our Websites. Others improve the functionality of our Websites but are not strictly necessary. Some cookies help improve the performance of our Websites (such as by gathering analytic data), while others help provide targeted marketing services to you (like ads that you may be interested in).

  • Session Cookies. We use Session Cookies to operate our Services. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your Internet browser.

We are not responsible for the functioning of cookies and other technologies used and placed by third parties on your device.
  • Pixel Tags, Web Beacons, and Transparent GIFs. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on Website pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action. These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and improve our web pages.

Children’s Privacy          

High school automotive shop programs subscribe to ALLDATA products to assist with the instruction of automotive repair and automotive technology. Products used in an instructional setting include:  ALLDATA Repair, ALLDATA Collision, ALLDATA Shop Manager, ALLDATA Manage Online, ALLDATA Training Garage, and ALLDATA Diagnostics. Students (and possibly Children, as defined below) in these programs may access ALLDATA products. However, ALLDATA does not collect any personal information from students or Children accessing these products.

With the exception of our Services that are provided in the educational setting described above, all of our Services, including our Websites, are intended for adult audiences, and are generally not meant to address anyone under the age of 16 (“Children”).  As such, Children under 16 should not use our Websites or Services only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. If you are under 16, do not attempt to register for or use any of our Services, including our Websites, without such supervision, and do not provide us any personal information about yourself. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16 without the consent of the child's parent or guardian.

If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has violated this Privacy Policy and provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from Children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

From time to time, ALLDATA may modify this Privacy Policy. ALLDATA will notify you of any material changes to its Privacy Policy by posting those changes on this page and updating the Privacy Policy modification date above. ALLDATA encourages you periodically to check back to this page for any updates.

Submitting a Verifiable Data Subject Request to ALLDATA

As mentioned above, certain state residents have rights to access, delete, or otherwise control the use, collection, and/or disclosure of their personal information.  ALLDATA will respond to an individual’s “verifiable request” to exercise his or her rights under such laws – that is, where ALLDATA has received a request purporting to be from a particular individual, and ALLDATA has been able to verify the individual’s identity.  The need to verify an individual’s identity is critical to protecting your information and ensuring that your information is not shared with anyone pretending to be you or someone who is not authorized to act as your agent on your behalf.

You may submit a verifiable request via our Website address, mailing address, or toll-free number, listed in the “Exercising Your State Law Privacy Rights” section below or as otherwise provided on our Websites (if such means are available).  ALLDATA will ask you to provide information about yourself so that we can verify your identity as part of this process.  This information may include your name, your address, your account information, and any other information deemed necessary by ALLDATA to reasonably verify your identity, to ensure that your information is not shared with anyone impersonating you.  Once we have verified your identity, we will work to fulfill your request in a timely manner.  Please note there may be some situations in which we are unable to fulfill your request, such as if we cannot find any information about you within our systems.  Additionally, we may not be able to honor a deletion request in some situations, such as if your information is necessary to fulfill your order with us or meet a legal obligation.  We will inform you whether we can fulfill your rights request.

We may ask for additional information if we have difficulty confirming your identity.  We will not share your information or honor other requests in those situations in which we are unable to verify your identity.

Under California law a consumer can appoint an “authorized agent” to make certain verifiable requests upon their behalf, such as the right to know what information we collect about the consumer or to request deletion of the consumer’s information.    Because the security and privacy of your information is paramount, we will ask that you identify and provide permission in writing for such persons to act as your authorized agent and exercise your applicable rights under California law in such situations.  This may require us to contact you directly and alert you that an individual has claimed to be your agent and is attempting to make a request regarding your information.  We will also independently verify your identity to ensure that an unauthorized person is not attempting to impersonate you and exercise your rights without authorization.  We will not share your information or honor any other requests in those situations where you cannot or do not grant permission in writing for an identified authorized agent to act on your behalf, or where we cannot independently verify your identity.

Exercising Your State Law Privacy Rights

Submitting a Verifiable Request to ALLDATA

As mentioned above, California residents have certain rights to access, delete, or otherwise control the use, collection, and/or disclosure of their information.  ALLDATA will respond to an individual’s “verifiable request” to exercise his or her rights under such laws – that is, where ALLDATA has received a request purporting to be from a particular individual, and ALLDATA has been able to verify the individual’s identity.  The need to verify an individual’s identity is critical to protecting your information, and ensuring that your information is not shared with anyone pretending to be you or someone who is not authorized to act as your agent on your behalf.

You may submit a verifiable request via our Website address, mailing address, or toll-free number, listed in the “Contact Us” section below.  ALLDATA will ask you to provide information about yourself so that we can verify your identity as part of this process.  This information may include your name, your address, your account information, and any other information deemed necessary by ALLDATA to reasonably verify your identity, to ensure that your information is not shared with anyone impersonating you.  Once we have verified your identity, we will work to fulfill your request in a timely manner.  Please note there may be some situations in which we are unable to fulfill your request, such as if we cannot find any information about you within our systems.  Additionally, we may not be able to honor a deletion request in some situations, such as if your information is necessary to fulfill your order with us or meet a legal obligation.  We will inform you whether we can fulfill your rights request.

We may ask for additional information if we have difficulty confirming your identity.  We will not share your information or honor other requests in those situations in which we are unable to confirm a request for your information is a “verifiable request.”

Under California law a consumer can appoint an “authorized agent” to make certain verifiable requests upon their behalf, such as the right to know what information we collect about the consumer or to request deletion of the consumer’s information.   An “authorized agent” may submit a request on behalf of a California resident who has authorized the agent to act on their behalf via the Website address, mailing address, or phone number listed in the “Contact Us” section below.  Because the security and privacy of your information is paramount, we will ask that you identify and provide permission in writing for such persons to act as your authorized agent and exercise your applicable rights under California law in such situations.  This may require us to contact you directly and alert you that an individual has claimed to be your agent and is attempting to access or delete your information.  We will also independently verify your identity to ensure that an unauthorized person is not attempting to impersonate you and exercise your rights without authorization.  We will not share your information or honor any other requests in those situations where you cannot or do not grant permission in writing for an identified authorized agent to act on your behalf, or where we cannot independently verify your identity.

How to Contact Us

As mentioned above, a California resident can make a rights request to ALLDATA via our Website address, mailing address, or phone number listed below.  If you have questions about this privacy policy, the practices of this site or your dealings with this site, please contact ALLDATA using the mailing address or telephone number below:
