This Privacy Policy describes how Wheels America Racing (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit wheels-america-racing.com, shop with us, create an account, or contact us. It is meant to help you understand our practices. It is not legal advice and does not claim that we comply with any particular privacy law.
Who we are
Wheels America Racing is a small U.S. motorsports business. We sell parts and wheels, and we offer racing programs and related team information through this website.
You can reach us at wheelsamericaracing@gmail.com or 817-668-5433.
This website is hosted on WordPress.com (Automattic).
Information we collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the site.
- Orders. If you place an order, we collect the details needed to fulfill it, which typically include your name, billing and shipping addresses, email address, phone number, the products you buy, and payment status. We use WooCommerce to run the store.
- Account. If you create a customer account, we collect your name, email address, password (stored in protected form), addresses you save, and your order history.
- Contact form and inquiries. If you use our contact form (powered by WPForms) or email us, we collect the information you submit — typically your name, email address, and message. That includes driver, program, and other inquiries you send us.
- Search. If you use site search, we may process the search terms you enter (we use Advanced Woo Search).
- Automatic information and cookies. Like most websites, we automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page, and general location derived from IP address. We and our hosting platform also use cookies and similar technologies, as described below.
We do not ask you to send full payment card numbers to us by email or through the contact form. Card payments are handled by the processors named in this policy.
How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- Process, fulfill, and track orders, including shipping and tax calculation
- Create and maintain your account and show you order history
- Respond to questions, driver or program inquiries, and customer support requests
- Send transactional messages related to your order or account (such as order confirmations and shipping updates)
- Protect the site against spam, fraud, and abuse
- Understand how the site is used so we can improve it
- Meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations
We send website and store emails (for example, form notifications and order emails) through our website’s email delivery tools. We did not identify a separate email-marketing or newsletter service on the site. If you contact us and we reply by email, that conversation is used to help you — not to add you to a promotional list unless you ask us to.
Payment processors
When you pay for an order, your payment information is handled by our payment processors. We do not store full credit or debit card numbers on our website.
- WooPayments processes card payments. WooPayments uses Stripe to process those payments.
- PayPal is available through the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin. If you choose PayPal, you provide payment details to PayPal.
Those companies process your information under their own privacy policies. We typically receive payment status, a transaction reference, the payment method type, and the billing details needed to complete your order.
When we share information
We share information with service providers that help us operate the business, and in the limited situations described here:
- Payment processors — WooPayments / Stripe and PayPal, as described above.
- Shipping. We share the name, address, and contact details needed to deliver your order with the shipping carriers and fulfillment tools we use. We use WooCommerce Shipping to help create shipments, and Advanced Shipment Tracking to store tracking information and share it with you.
- Tax calculation. We may share address information with a tax calculation service (through WooCommerce Tax) so we can determine applicable sales tax.
- Spam filtering. We use Akismet to help detect spam. It may process IP addresses and submitted content.
- Website platform and analytics. WordPress.com, Jetpack, and WordPress.com Stats help host the site and measure visits (for example, pages viewed and referring sites). Jetpack also includes WooCommerce Analytics features that help us understand store activity.
- Product listings. We use the Google for WooCommerce plugin, which can share product catalog and related store information with Google so our products may appear in Google listings.
- Form and communications tools. WPForms processes contact-form submissions so we can receive and respond to them. Email delivery tools transmit transactional messages.
- Legal and safety. We may share information if we believe it is required by law, to protect our rights or customers, or in connection with a business transfer (such as a sale of assets).
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information as described in this policy so we can run the store, deliver orders, and operate the website. Some privacy laws treat certain kinds of sharing as a “sale” or “share” for advertising. If you want to make a request about that, email us using the contact details below.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to:
- Keep items in your cart and complete checkout (WooCommerce and related store cookies)
- Keep you signed in if you have an account
- Remember basic site or security settings
- Understand site traffic through WordPress.com / Jetpack Stats
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may prevent checkout, account login, or other parts of the site from working correctly. We did not detect a separate Google Analytics or advertising pixel on public pages of the site.
How long we keep information
We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes above, including:
- Order, payment, shipping, and tax records for as long as needed for fulfillment, returns, accounting, and legal obligations
- Account information while your account remains open, and for a reasonable period afterward if needed to complete outstanding orders or keep records
- Contact-form messages and email correspondence for as long as needed to respond and for ordinary business records
- Analytics information, often in aggregated or de-identified form, according to our analytics providers’ retention practices
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information, including operating the store on a hosted ecommerce platform and sending payment card details to established payment processors rather than storing full card numbers ourselves. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You can:
- Update account details and saved addresses by signing in to My Account, if you have an account
- Ask us not to use your information for a purpose that is not reasonably necessary to complete a transaction you requested
- Request a copy of the personal information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, subject to records we must keep (for example, orders and tax records)
Depending on where you live, state privacy laws — including in California and other U.S. states — may give you additional rights. Those can include the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access, correction, or deletion, to appeal a decision, and to opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information. We will not discriminate against you for making a privacy request.
To make a request, email wheelsamericaracing@gmail.com and tell us what you are asking for. We may need to verify your identity before we fulfill the request, and we may explain if we cannot complete part of it (for example, because we must keep an order record). You may also use an authorized agent where the law allows it; we may still need to verify both you and the agent.
If you have a WooCommerce customer account, you can also use the account tools to review addresses and order history.
Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Third-party links
The site may link to other websites and services, including our Instagram and Facebook pages, payment-processor pages, carrier tracking pages, and manufacturer or partner sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. The updated policy applies to information we collect after it is posted, and to information we already have to the extent the update is permitted.
