Tri-State Cylinder Head asks customers to supply various personal data when placing an order, such as name and address, credit-card information, and email address. We use this data only for the purpose of filling an order, or communicating with the customer or supplier about the status of an order.

We will release personally identifiable information to third parties and organizations when we believe it is appropriate for us to do so in order to comply with the law or to protect against fraud. We will also release such information to cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental investigations (without necessarily requiring the requesting law enforcement or government agency to formally serve us with a subpoena), comply with all valid court orders or subpoenas, protect the legal rights of us and our users, or when we believe it is needed for fraud protection and/or credit risk reduction.

Except for the circumstances set forth in the previous paragraph, we will not knowingly distribute customer information to be used in mailing lists, surveys, or any other purpose other than what is required to perform our services.

How does Tri-State Cylinder Head protect customer information?

Customers who buy through the Tri-State Cylinder Head system are shopping on a secure server, which encrypts all of the customer's personal information including name, address and credit card number. Encryption ensures that no one can access or use personal information in an unauthorized manner.

Our commerce system is widely used across the world and security is the number one priority. This single entry point allows Tri-State Cylinder Head to maintain the tightest access control - eliminating (rather than closing) the backdoor.

Tri-State Cylinder Head has made an investment in protecting our clients' and customers' information utilizing the following technology:

SSL (Secure Socket Layers)

Because we accept sensitive information from end-users such as passwords and credit card numbers, Tri-State Cylinder Head's site uses SSL. This logic encrypts the data being sent to the server from the browser using high-level encryption technology. Once the data is received from customers on the network, it may be required that the data be maintained for a certain period of time inside our private network. Encrypting the data means it cannot be viewed in plain text.
