Just as Fountain Tire1 is committed to providing you with quality products and service, we are also committed to protecting your privacy. Our commitment to safeguarding the personal information you entrust us with is reflected in our Fountain Tire Privacy Code, which sets out our principles regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
The following is a brief summary of our privacy practices.2
Why do we collect and how do we use your personal information?
Fountain Tire collects personal information for the following purposes:
When visiting our website, some areas may request that you voluntarily provide personal information including your name, address, etc., for purposes such as obtaining tire quotes or offering your feedback. In addition, we may collect other information from your use of our website and we assure you that this information will at all times be treated in accordance with our Fountain Tire Privacy Code.
When do we disclose your personal information?
Fountain Tire does not disclose your personal information to any third parties other than:
Consent for collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
To achieve the purposes set out above, Fountain Tire would like to have your consent to collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Fountain Tire Privacy Code. You have the option of refusing or withdrawing your consent at any time unless it is required to provide you with the products or services you request or to provide you with necessary information relating to your accounts with us or is otherwise required by law; however, your refusal or withdrawal may impede our ability to serve you.
The personal information collected by Fountain Tire will be stored in Canada or in the United States for the purposes set out above, and will be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is stored.
In addition, you have the right to request access to your personal information and, if incomplete or inaccurate, to request correction to it. You can do this by contacting Fountain Tire through the information listed below under the heading “Inquiries.” We will provide you with access to your personal information, except where we are prohibited by law from doing so, or are permitted by law to restrict your access and have legitimate business or legal reasons for doing so. Due to the private nature of much of the information we maintain, it is Fountain Tire’s policy not to permit disclosure over the phone or via e-mail. Instead we will make other more secure arrangements for you to access your information.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy practices, please contact us as set out below. Otherwise, we will assume that we have your consent to collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with the Fountain Tire Privacy Code.
