This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you visit the Site. It applies to all users worldwide, in compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the French Data Protection Act (Loi n°78-17 du 6 janvier 1978 — Informatique et Libertés), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide voluntarily:

If you contact us via the contact form or email, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties, sold, or used for marketing purposes.

Information collected automatically:

When you visit the Site, certain technical data is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools. This includes your IP address (anonymized), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, and general geographic location (country/region level only). This data is collected through Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization enabled, and is used exclusively for understanding traffic patterns and improving the Site.

Information we do NOT collect:

The Site does not collect, store, or process any of the following: social security numbers, financial information, credit card or bank details, health or medical data, government-issued identification, passwords or login credentials. UnitedAutoParts.com does not require user accounts, does not offer login functionality, and does not maintain any user database.

3. Cookies

The Site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:

Essential cookies: These are necessary for the basic functioning of the Site, such as remembering your cookie consent preferences. They cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4): We use GA4 to understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are most visited, how long users stay, and where traffic comes from. GA4 is configured with IP anonymization enabled and does not collect personally identifiable information. Data is processed by Google LLC under their Privacy Policy. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in improving the Site (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Affiliate cookies: When you click on an affiliate link to a third-party retailer (such as Amazon, BuyAutoParts, AutoBarn, or NAPA), that retailer may place a cookie on your device to track your referral. These cookies are set by the third-party retailer, not by UnitedAutoParts.com. Each retailer’s cookie policy is governed by their own privacy policy. Common affiliate cookie durations include 24 hours (Amazon Associates), 7-30 days (CJ Affiliate programs), and 10-60 days (ShareASale programs).

Managing cookies: You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain Site functionality. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies while accepting first-party cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

To respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form or email. To analyze Site traffic and usage patterns in order to improve content, navigation, and user experience. To track affiliate referrals and earn commissions from third-party retailer purchases. To ensure the technical security and proper functioning of the Site.

We do not use your data for profiling, automated decision-making, targeted advertising, email marketing, or any purpose other than those listed above.

5. Data Sharing

EJB SAS does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. Data may be shared only with the following categories of service providers, solely for the purposes described in this policy:

Google LLC — for analytics processing (GA4). Data is processed under Google’s Data Processing Amendment and EU Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers.

WPX.net — our hosting provider, which processes server logs containing anonymized technical data as part of normal hosting operations.

Affiliate networks (Amazon Associates, CJ Affiliate, ShareASale) — receive referral data only when you click an affiliate link and visit a third-party retailer. This data is governed by each network’s respective privacy policy.

We do not share data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.

6. International Data Transfers

As the Site is hosted by WPX.net and uses Google Analytics, some data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States. Where such transfers occur, they are protected by appropriate safeguards, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, as applicable.

7. Data Retention

Contact form data (name, email, message content) is retained for a maximum of 12 months after the last communication, then permanently deleted.

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months (GA4 default setting), after which it is automatically deleted by Google.

Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a maximum of 30 days.

We do not maintain any long-term user database or personal data archive.
