• MSD Powersports Privacy Policy

     Protecting your privacy is important to MSD POWERSPORTS. We strive to keep your personal information confidential. By ensuring that you are aware of and understand the MSD POWERSPORTS Customer Privacy Policy, we can provide you with better service. Please take a moment to read the following policy to learn how we handle your personal information.

    Why we collect personal information

    MSD POWERSPORTS collects and uses your personal information to give you superior customer service. We log individual information ONLY for those who volunteer the information when participating in our TECH FORUMS. We do NOT log information on customers who use our website to purchase MSD POWERSPORTS products, request MSD Catalogs, or request technical support.

    How we collect personal information

    We collect information about you in several ways. For example, we might ask for your contact information when you join our TECH FORUM. In addition, when you register a new MSD POWERSPORTS product, sign up for MSD POWERSPORTS Internet services, or ask to be included in an email mailing list, we collect and store the information you provide in a secure database.

    To save you time and make our web services even easier to use, the TECH FORUM section of the MSD POWERSPORTS website allow you to create an "MSD POWERSPORTS ID" using your personal information. Here's how it works: Simply fill out a brief profile-your name, phone number, and email address-then choose a password and password hint (such as the month and day of your birth) for security. The system saves your information and assigns you a personal MSD POWERSPORTS ID. Next time you enter the TECH FORUM, you can simply enter your required information and the system will recall it for you.

    How we protect your personal information

    MSD POWERSPORTS safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. When using MSD POWERSPORTS TECH FORUM, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.

    The MSD POWERSPORTS Direct Store uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To make purchases from the MSD POWERSPORTS Direct Store, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, or Internet Explorer. This protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it is transmitted over the Internet.

    Access to your personal information

    You always have access to the information we have about you. To review and update your personal contact information, simply email your request to privacy@msdignition.com, be sure to include your previous information so can locate you in our database. The TECH FORUM login screen provides you with the opportunity to update or change any of your personal information.

    Collecting other personal information

    When you browse MSD POWERSPORTS's website, you are able to do so anonymously. Generally, we don't collect personal information when you browse - not even your email address. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using.

    For the TECH FORUMS ONLY, the MSD POWERSPORTS website uses "cookie" technology. When you first connect to our site, the cookie identifies your browser with a unique, random number. The cookies we use do not reveal any personal information about you, except perhaps your first name so we can welcome you on your next visit. Cookies help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make the site even better.

    In some of our email to you, we use a "click-through URL." When you click one of these URLs, you pass through our web server before arriving at the website that is your destination. We track click-throughs to help us determine your interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.

    Our companywide commitment to privacy

    To make sure your personal information remains confidential, we communicate these privacy guidelines to every MSD POWERSPORTS employee. In addition, MSD POWERSPORTS adheres to industry initiatives such as the Online Privacy Alliance (http://www.privacyalliance.org) to preserve privacy rights on the Internet and in all aspects of electronic commerce. Though not a member, MSD POWERSPORTS works to maintain the same standards outlined by the organization.

    MSD POWERSPORTS does not knowingly solicit personal information from children or send them requests for personal information.

    The MSD POWERSPORTS website contains links to other sites. MSD POWERSPORTS does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

    The MSD POWERSPORTS Customer Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage you to review the privacy policy regularly for any changes.
