Cookies are small data files stored on your device that allow us to recognize your browser and capture certain information, such as your IP address, device ID, preferences, login credentials, and interaction with our Websites.

We may disclose personal information:

  • To service providers assisting in service delivery
  • To regulatory bodies as required by federal or provincial law

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Personal information may be stored or processed outside Canada. Where this occurs, we ensure comparable safeguards consistent with PIPEDA’s accountability principle. 

(For Québec, Law 25 requires privacy impact assessments before cross border transfers.)


Data Retention

ALLDATA will retain your information only for so long as is necessary to provide Services to you (i.e., for the lifetime of your ALLDATA account) and/or for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. Our retention policy for Personal Information is based on several factors including the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which your Personal Information is collected and processed, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

We may be required to keep your Personal Information longer due to legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may also retain your Personal Information longer if there is a complaint or if we can reasonably anticipate a legal dispute arising from our relationship with you. If a specific regulation applies to the retention of your Personal Information, that regulation takes precedence over our retention policy.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary:

  • As required by PIPEDA’s “limiting retention” principle
  • As mandated in provincial statutes governing retention for public bodies and health custodians (e.g., PHIA, HIA, FIPPA regimes) 

We securely destroy data once it is no longer needed.

Transfer of Data

ALLDATA’s Services are offered and available to individuals in the United States of America. While our Websites are available for anyone who is interested in ALLDATA, we do not sell or make available any products, goods, or other services to individuals outside of the United States, including the European Union.  Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Information, to United States and process it there. If you are located in the European Union, you should be aware that U.S. data protection laws are not deemed to be as adequate as those in the European Union. Your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.


Security of Data

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information from loss, theft, unauthorized access or disclosure, consistent with federal and provincial requirements.  No method of information transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction, we cannot guarantee its security.  By using our Websites and Services, you acknowledge that there are data security and privacy limitations inherent to the use of the Internet, and that the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information exchanged between you and ALLDATA, or between you and other related entities, cannot be guaranteed.  We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or that we store, and you do so at your own risk. We use third-party payment processors to process any transactions you make with ALLDATA, including via our Websites.  The processing of those transactions is governed by the payment processors’ privacy policy and security practices.  ALLDATA is not responsible for the third-party payment processors’ data security practices.


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 without 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 at privacy@autozone.com. 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.

Access & Correction Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information
  • Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information

These rights are guaranteed under PIPEDA and provincial private sector, public sector, and health sector laws across Canada.

If we use automated decision systems:

  • We will inform you of automated processing when required under Québec Law 25 and other transparency standards.
  • We will explain the nature and impact of the decision on you.
