Transactions involving Third Parties: We make available to you services, products, applications, or skills provided by third parties for use on or through PartsBase.

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Other Countries: Since we operate globally, it may be necessary to transfer, store and process Personal Information in the United States or any other country in which we or our service providers maintain facilities. In these instances, we will take steps to ensure that a similar level of protection is given to Personal Information as comprehensive as those in the United States and European Union.
