How PartsOnline.com.au protects your privacy

Clear information about how we collect, use and safeguard your details when you use our parts request services.

We help you find used car parts nationwide while keeping your personal information protected.
Full Privacy Statement
Applies to PartsOnline.com.au and related services

PartsOnline.com.au is committed to helping you find quality used auto parts online while ensuring the protection of your privacy. We have developed robust and secure part locating services so that you can connect with wreckers and parts suppliers with confidence.

We are one of the few used auto parts locators that allows you to remain largely anonymous when you place your request.

Here is what you should know about our Privacy Policy

To submit a used auto parts request to our network of wreckers, auto dismantlers, junk yards and other used auto parts vendors, you are required to provide us with:

(1) your email address, and some other personal information, including (2) your name and (3) the city, state and post code where the part will be shipped if it is purchased from one of our vendors.

You are not required to provide us with a phone number and you are not required to provide us with a street address.

The information we require is used to provide our subscribers with enough detail so they can reply to you after you place a part request. We do not provide your email address to any of our salvage yards for marketing lists, and each subscriber has agreed to keep information they receive through our service confidential under our Subscriber Agreement.

If you believe that your privacy has not been maintained as a result of your use of our web site, please contact our support team immediately.
