We use third parties to help us provide services to you such as fulfilling orders, processing payments, monitoring site activity, conducting surveys, maintaining our database, administering e-mails, and administering drawings or contests.

If, after making a purchase at PJSalvage.com, you choose to participate in a survey conducted at a third party provider's website, any personal information that you provide during the survey at the third party provider's website will be subject to that third party provider's privacy policy. If you make a purchase through PJSalvage.com, the information you provide (for example, name, address, credit card) will be added to a database.

We may participate with certain unrelated companies who offer memberships that enable members to participate in rewards programs that include rewards for purchases from PJ Salvage.com. If you elect to establish membership and an account in a program sponsored by one of these companies, the company will provide a link to PJSalvage.com at its website. If you visit us from such a program's website and make a purchase, PJSalvage.com will use technology to provide the company administering the membership program with certain information about your purchase (i.e., transaction date, transaction amount and order number), so that your membership program can honor the terms of its program. PJSalvage.com will not share any personally identifiable information we collect from you with the company administering your membership program.

MACHINE READABLE PRIVACY POLICY

PJSalvage.com has implemented a machine readable privacy policy. If your browser has the capability to interpret privacy policies using the standards developed through the Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P), it will be able to detect this machine readable privacy policy. Due to the limitations in the process for creating a P3P machine-readable privacy policy, it is not possible to describe the privacy practices of PJSalvage.com as precisely in the P3P format as in this written privacy policy. Thus, we would suggest that our visitors refer to the written policy to fully understand the privacy practices of PJSalvage.com.

In addition, it is our policy not to send your credit card number via e-mail. In fact, this is a practice we encourage you to adopt in all of your Internet activities.
