Vitz & Yaris Owners Club Sri Lanka

At the Vitz & Yaris Owners Club Sri Lanka, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our members and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information when you use our website, forum, and services.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so—for example, to provide our services, to communicate with you, or to make our services better.

Account Information: When you register for the club, we ask for basic information like your name, email address, phone number, and vehicle details (Model, Year, Engine Code).
Public Forum Data: Any information you voluntarily share on our community forum, including posts, replies, and uploaded images.
Log Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect basic log data that your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

Provide, operate, and maintain our website and club membership database.
Process transactions and membership renewals securely.
Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages.
Communicate with you regarding club events, partner discounts, and newsletters (if you have opted in).
Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities to improve our platform.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:

Partner Garages: With your explicit consent, we may verify your membership status with our partner workshops so you can receive club discounts.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
Protection of Rights: We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of the Club, third parties, or the public at large.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of our website, and their website access preferences. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using our website.

5. Security

While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. Your account is protected by an encrypted password, and we use secure SSL connections for data transmission.

6. Your Rights & Choices

You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:

Limit the Information you provide: You can choose not to provide optional vehicle details or upload a profile picture.
Opt-Out of Electronic Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us through your Profile Preferences.
