This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information AutoHook LLC (“AutoHook”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects through online channels including the online “pop-up” offers we publish containing a link to this Privacy Policy (“Pop-ups”), how that information is used and the types of third parties with whom we share it.
“Personal information” means information or an opinion about you, as an Australian resident individual, including information by which your identity can be reasonably ascertained (whether or not the information or opinion is true). This Privacy Policy has been developed in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. By providing information to us online, including through Pop-ups, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information disclosed by you through offline correspondence or personal contacts with our representatives, or through any other website provided by us that is governed by separate terms of use and privacy policy. Additionally, Pop-ups may contain links to websites that are not controlled or operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these third party websites. We encourage you to request and review the privacy policies of any third party prior to disclosing information to that party.

3. Retention of your personal information
We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions and activities, and in particular so that we can provide our services to you and our clients.
We may collect, store and use personal information you choose to provide, for example, when you complete a Pop-up, or when you request information or assistance from us online. The personal information you provide may identify you and your business individually, and may include items such as your name and email address, postcode of your physical address, phone number and information regarding your vehicle preferences. The information you provide is maintained by us or service providers acting on our behalf. We do not purchase or otherwise obtain any supplemental personal information about you from any third parties.
We will not collect sensitive information you, including about your race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, or trade union memberships, unless it is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities and we first obtain your informed consent.
We may also use server log analysis tools to collect and analyze certain other information that does not identify you personally. This information may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) and your domain name. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer by the ISP through which you access the Internet; an ISP is a company that provides access to the Internet; and a domain name is the string of letters, numbers, and hyphens that is used to point to an IP address. We use this information for system administration and to monitor the use of our Pop-ups, for example, to measure the number of Pop-up visits, the average time spent on Pop-ups, the number of Pop-ups viewed, the most/least visited Pop-ups, and various other Pop-up use statistics. This monitoring helps us evaluate how our Pop-ups are used and improve the content we provide. While we may report aggregated information to clients, we do not link IP addresses or domain names with any personal information, which means that a visitor’s session will be logged on our servers but the visitor will always remain anonymous (unless you are providing information through a Pop-up).
In addition to server log analysis tools, we may collect information via a number of other technologies, including cookies, web beacons, clear GIFs and other means. You can remove certain cookies by following the directions in your Internet browser’s “help” file, but if you disable them, your ability to use some online features may be limited.
We use the personal information you provide via Pop-ups to contact you in relation to the promotional offer referred to in the Pop-up, which may include sending you redemption codes and details for how you can redeem offers, and providing your details to our clients so that you can redeem offers from them. If you have elected to join our mailing list, we may also use the information you have provided to send you, via email or post, our quarterly newsletter as well as other information impacting online customer relationships that we think you might find useful. We may also use the information you provide to enforce our terms of use, and to detect and protect against error, fraud and any other unauthorized or illegal activities. We may also use your personal information to contact you in response to any requests, complaints, or comments you may have about us or any Pop-ups.
If you are visiting Pop-ups from a country outside the United States, you acknowledge and agree that in submitting information via Pop-ups, you will transfer personal information about yourself to the United States, that the data protection laws of the United States may not be as comprehensive as those in your own country and that the transfer of this personal information occurs with your consent. Personal information collected via Pop-ups is stored and processed in the United States, under the laws of the United States.
We do not collect or compile personal information solely for the purpose of distribution to unaffiliated third parties. Except as described below, we do not share personal information about you with any unaffiliated third parties.
If you send us an email or online request, complaint, or comment relating to one of our affiliates, we may forward your request, complaint, or comment to the appropriate affiliate.
In addition, we may disclose your personal information:

We understand the importance of protecting children’s privacy, especially in an online environment. The Pop-ups are not designed for or directed at children under 13 years of age. It is AutoHook’s policy not to knowingly collect or maintain information about individuals under age 13.
We follow generally accepted security practices and procedures to protect the personal information you provide from unauthorized access, use and disclosure, and we require that our authorized service providers implement and maintain such security practices and procedures as well. We take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify all personal information where it is no longer necessary to retain the information for the purposes for which it was requested or as required by law.
Nevertheless, Internet transmissions are never completely private or secure. You understand that any messages or information you send online may be read or intercepted by others. If you have any questions about the security of personal information collected by us, please contact us at: dealersupport@urbanscience.com or at the address shown at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
The personally identifiable information that you provide will be stored and maintained by us for so long as we, in our sole discretion, believe is necessary or appropriate (a) to carry out the purpose(s) for which such information was collected, or (b) to comply with applicable laws, contracts, or other rules or regulations.
