We have taken extraordinary care to be as sure as humanly possible that your information only goes where you intended. If you post items on our bulletin boards, they are public domain and may be viewed by any visitor to our site. There is no expectation of privacy there or in our classifieds. Content may be removed if it does not pertain to our site or is deemed offensive. For orders, all of your information will remain private and confidential. Your financial information, including credit card numbers, are transmitted over secure sockets links and your browser should indicate this (sometimes with a little padlock for example). We take care internally to be sure that once retrieved from our web site, your information remains private.
Marine Parts Express will not use your personal information other than for the purpose for which it was submitted without your consent. We use personal information to process orders and contact our customers periodically. We also offer a newsletter which you may opt out of at any time by sending an e-mail request to unsubscribe@marinepartsexpress.com.
We will also release personal information to appropriate governmental authorities as follows: if release is required by law (for example by subpoena or pursuant to the Patriot Act), by regulation, or when requested by a government agency conducting any investigation or proceeding; if our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of; or if your communication suggests possible harm to others. We also cooperate with credit card companies who investigate fraud claims.
If your personal information changes, please email us with the new information. We will work to make the change as quickly as possible.
