Last Updated: June 22, 2026
Precision Auto Parts Inc. ("we", "us", "our") operates the e-commerce infrastructure, storefront nodes, and communication interfaces connected to our brand. This Privacy Policy outlines how your personal information is collected, used, protected, and disclosed when you visit or execute a purchase from our platform.
Our data operations strictly comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the modernized provisions of the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (PPCDA).
1. Personal Information We Collect
When you interact with our storefront, we collect specific data strings required to fulfill your order and verify compatibility:
- Device & Behavioral Data: Upon loading the site, Shopify's tracking nodes automatically capture your IP address, browser type, time zone, cookie identifiers, and data regarding how you navigate our specific mechanical or aesthetic catalogs.
- Order & Transaction Data: To process transactions, we collect your explicit legal name, billing address, shipping address, payment coordinates (processed via secure, tokenized encryption layers), email address, and phone number.
- Automotive Profile Data: We collect specific vehicle metadata (Year, Make, Model, Trim, Engine Type, Vin Number) provided during checkout or through direct communication channels to guarantee part fitment and prevent procurement errors.
2. Grounds for Data Processing
We process your data strictly under the following legal frameworks:
-
Contractual Necessity: To fulfill orders, capture payments, and execute delivery routing.
-
Legitimate Business Interests: To run fraud-prevention algorithms, optimize our user experience (UX), manage inventory distributions, and provide technical client support via our data channels.
-
Explicit Consent: For targeted digital marketing configurations, newsletter drops, and SMS reminders, which you may opt out of at any moment.
3. Third-Party Data Transmission & Storage Nodes
We never sell your personal information. To maintain a high-velocity supply chain, we transmit specific data layers to verified third-party processors:
- Platform Operations: Our core store sits on the Shopify platform ecosystem, which securely manages our primary data warehouse nodes.
- Logistics & Procurement Networks: Your shipping address and contact info are passed directly to our wholesale distribution centers and courier networks (including FedEx, private aggregators, and component manufacturers) solely to execute fulfillment and route mechanical kits or custom films.
- Payment Infrastructure: All transactions are tokenized and processed through secure, PCI-DSS compliant banking networks. No raw credit card metrics are stored on our servers.

Under Canadian privacy frameworks, you possess full data mobility and sovereignty over your profile. You may formally request:
- Access: A full digital extraction of the personal data points we hold in our active directories.
