If you choose not to provide certain personal details, we will do our very best to ensure you still receive the best iFixit experience possible.

We also anonymise and aggregate personal information so we can use customer data to inform business decisions without the customers themselves being identified. We use this anonymous data for purposes including testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving our site and app, and developing new products and services. We also share this information with third parties

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We do not, and will not, sell any of your personal data – including your name, address, or email address – to any third party.

However, we do share your data with the following categories of companies as an essential part of being able to provide our services to you, as set out in this statement:

• Companies that provide services to supply your purchases to you, such as payment service providers, warehouses, order packers and delivery companies.
• Professional service providers, such as marketing agencies, advertising partners and website hosts who help us run our business.
• Credit reference agencies, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, so we can protect ourselves and our customers against fraud.
• Companies approved by you, such as any social media sites you’ve chosen to link to your iFixit account or payment service providers.

We may provide third parties with aggregated but anonymised information and analytics about our customers. We will not provide such third parties with any information that could be used to identify you.

MARKETING MESSAGES

If you have said you’d like us to, we will send you occasional marketing messages via email/SMS to keep you informed about what we’re up to and to help you see and find our products.

You can stop receiving marketing messages from us at any time. You can do this by:

• Changing your preferences in your iFixit account settings or
• Clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link included in all iFixit emails or
• Contacting our Customer Service team who will update your preferences for you

Once you have indicated that you no longer wish to receive emails from iFixit, we will update your profile to ensure that you don’t receive further marketing messages from us.

Please note that stopping marketing messages will not stop service communications such as order updates.

SEEING ADVERTS FOR iFIXIT ONLINE

We run online advertisements to keep you informed about iFixit, and to help you see and find our products.

Like many companies, we may show iFixit banners and ads to you when you are on other websites and apps. We do this using a variety of digital marketing networks and ad exchanges, and we use a range of advertising technologies like web beacons, pixels, ad tags, cookies, and mobile identifiers. We may also employ specific services offered by some sites and social networks, such as Facebook’s Custom Audience service.

The banners and ads you see will be based on retained information we have about you or your previous interactions with iFixit. For example, your iFixit search history, the content you read on iFixit, or the iFixit banners and ads you have previously clicked on will inform what we present to you in our online ads.

KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION

We will retain your information for as long as you have your account, or as long as it is needed to be able to provide our services to you. In the case of any contact you may have with our Customer Service team, your details will only be retained for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis.

If reasonably necessary or required to meet legal or regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or to enforce our terms and conditions, we may also keep hold of some of your information as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the services to you.
