We have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, protect, and disclose your Personal Information and Usage Data (as those terms are defined below) when you use the Hot Import Nights website (“Site”) or any other Hot Import Nights service (“Services”).

We automatically collect usage information that does not identify an individual user but allows us to collect information regarding how users access and utilize the Site (“Usage Data”). For example, when you download and use Services, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use. Additionally, each time you use the Site, we automatically collect information regarding the type of web browser you use, your operating system, your Internet Service Provider, your IP address, the pages you view, and the time and duration of your visits to the Site. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site and to enhance and update the Services.

Please note, however, that certain features of the Site or Services may not function if you delete or disable cookies. Some of the Service Providers (as defined below) that we work with may use their own cookies in connection with the services they perform on our behalf. THE SITE’S COOKIES DO NOT AND CANNOT INFILTRATE A USER’S HARD DRIVE TO COLLECT ANY INFORMATION STORED ON THE HARD DRIVE.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHEN WE MAY SHARE THAT INFORMATION
As a general policy, we use Personal Information to provide you with the Site and Services, to notify you of new products or Services, and to otherwise communicate with you. We may also share your Personal Information with third party marketing and advertising companies whom we believe are trustworthy and who have confirmed that their privacy practices are consistent with ours. These companies may collect and use information about your use of the Site or Services in order to provide you with email advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you or for direct marketing campaigns. Advertisements may be shown via the Site, the Services, or third party websites. These companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your computer or use other similar technologies. Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that these companies may collect from you. It also does not cover any information that you may choose to provide to them or to an advertiser whose goods or services are advertised through the Site or the Services.
