Privacy Policy
PartSource Barrie, located at 610 Huronia Road, Barrie, Ontario, L4N 0W5, Canada, values reasonable, clear handling of personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through this website, how that information may be used, how long it may be retained, and what choices users have. This page is intended to support customer inquiries about car parts and accessories and to provide contact access for local visitors. It does not promise every product shown or implied will always be available, and it should not be read as a substitute for direct store confirmation.
When you use the contact form or contact the business by phone or email, the business may collect personal information that you choose to provide. This can include your name, email address, phone number, vehicle-related details, the category of part or accessory you are looking for, and the content of your message. If you describe a scheduling need, urgency, or prior purchase context, that information may also be stored as part of your inquiry. The purpose of collecting this information is to understand your request, respond appropriately, suggest relevant next steps, and maintain a basic record of communications for customer service, quality control, and operational follow-up.
This website may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type, device type, approximate usage patterns, referral source, general region data, and log information that helps maintain the security and functionality of the website. That information is generally used in aggregate form to monitor website performance, prevent misuse, improve usability, and understand which parts of the website are useful to visitors. Cookies or similar technologies may be used for essential website operation, basic analytics, preference handling, or security-related functions. You can usually manage cookie behaviour through your browser settings, although disabling certain technologies may affect how some website features function.
Personal information is used to respond to inquiries, confirm product-related discussions, improve communication quality, reduce duplicate follow-ups, and maintain a reasonable business record. Information may be shared with internal staff, service providers supporting website hosting, email delivery, analytics, or technology maintenance, but only to the extent reasonably necessary for business operations. Information is not sold to unrelated third parties for broad advertising resale. However, information may be disclosed where required by law, to protect legal rights, to investigate misuse, or to support fraud prevention and security response.
Contact form submissions and related inquiry records are not retained forever. As a default internal privacy limit, contact form data should not be kept for more than 24 months unless a longer retention period is required for legal compliance, dispute handling, fraud prevention, or a continuing customer relationship that reasonably requires reference to prior communications. If information is no longer needed for those purposes, it should be deleted, anonymized, or securely archived according to business practice. While reasonable measures may be used to protect information, no website or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, and users should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary web forms.
Because this business may be accessed by users in Canada and potentially by visitors from other regions, including the European Union, applicable privacy rights may vary. Where relevant, users may have rights to request access to personal data, ask for correction of inaccurate information, request deletion where appropriate, object to certain processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or request information about how personal data is used. Users in the EU or EEA may also have rights associated with the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Identity verification may be required before fulfilling certain requests in order to protect personal information from unauthorized access.
This website may contain links, contact methods, or references that connect to third-party platforms or service providers. Those third parties operate under their own privacy terms, and PartSource Barrie is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites or services once a user leaves this site or communicates through another platform. Users should review the relevant third-party privacy notices when using outside services.
Privacy practices may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in law, operations, technology, or service structure. Revised terms become effective when posted on this page unless a different effective date is stated. Continued use of the website after changes are posted generally indicates acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law. Questions, requests, or privacy-related concerns can be directed to PartSource Barrie at 610 Huronia Road, Barrie, Ontario, L4N 0W5, Canada, by phone at +1 705-719-1029, or by email at [email protected].
