Oil Change International believes you have a fundamental right to privacy on the web, and we work to protect your security online as vigorously as possible. We do not collect personally identifiable information on our web site unless you voluntarily choose to give it to us via this website, email, a phone call, by signing up as a supporter, or by postal mail. Even when you choose to give us information, we keep it confidential, and we bind suppliers who work with us by these conditions as well. We will be clear about the identity of any third party to whom we transfer information when you take action through our website.
For data you give voluntarily, we will always allow you to withdraw consent to use your data for future purposes, but we will maintain your data absent your revocation of consent.
We do not sell or rent web-generated mailing lists or other personally identifiable information outside Oil Change International. This data is stored by Oil Change International in the United States and will not be transferred to other countries. People may have privacy rights in their home countries in addition to those they have in the United States.
Oil Change International does not share or otherwise disclose its files to other organizations.
If you make a donation or join Oil Change International you may be given the option to participate in on-line actions or to receive a newsletter or further information. You will always be given the option to decline.
A cookie is a tiny element of data that our site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. Our web site uses cookies to customise certain options. This small amount of information does NOT contain any private information stored on your computer. You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, or to disable cookies altogether. We do not use cookies to track your personal content choices. We use Google Analytics to track page views. We anonymize Google Analytics data to the fullest extent possible.
Our Donation form page uses Transport Layer Security (TLS): a security protocol that provides communications privacy over the Internet. The protocol allows client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. While on a secure page, such as our giving form, the lock icon on the top or bottom of Web browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.
