WHAT ARE COOKIES?
The use of cookies is a common operating procedure for most websites.
If you are not comfortable with our use of cookies, please review

you receive a cookie or to reject all cookies.
WILL Garage Concepts Inc. DISCLOSE MY PERSONAL
INFORMATION?
We may share your personal information with companies and people
who work for us to fill orders, deliver packages, analyze data,
provide service, etc. These companies and individuals have access
to some of the personal information we have about you, but we limit

If Garage Concepts Inc. is sold, or if substantially all of Garage
Concepts' assets associated with a part of its business were acquired,
customer information is generally one of the transferred business
assets. If this should happen, Garage Concepts Inc. reserves the
right to transfer your personal information in connection with the
sale or transfer of such business assets.
HOW DO I KNOW MY PERSONAL INFORMATION IS
PROTECTED?
For example, the security of your credit card information during
transmission is aided by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software,
which encrypts - or "hides" - the information you provide. In order
to take advantage of this encryption technology, you need to have
an Internet browser that will support 128-bit encryption, such as
Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. Although we make every reasonable
effort to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or
alteration, please note that there is always some risk in transmitting
information over the Internet. In addition, inside Garage Concepts
Inc., only authorized employees may access your personal information,
and all Garage Concepts Inc. employees are expected to abide by
the promises made in this Privacy Statement.
