Privacy Policy

At Stinger Audio Store, we believe your privacy deserves the same premium protection as your audio equipment. Just as we secure your payments with 256-bit SSL encryption, we safeguard your personal information with rigorous standards and transparent practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit cartoysshop.com and purchase our high-performance audio products.

1. Who We Are & Our Customers

Stinger Audio Store serves a global community of audio adventurers, off-road enthusiasts, marine audiophiles, and daily commuters seeking to elevate their ride. Whether you’re upgrading your Jeep’s lighting, installing a component system, or adding a CarPlay receiver, we’re committed to protecting your privacy throughout your journey with us.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to power your purchase and enhance your experience:

Personal Information You Provide:

• Order Information: Name, shipping/billing address, email address, phone number
• Payment Information: Processed securely through our PCI-DSS compliant partners (we do not store full credit card details)
• Communication Data: Messages sent via email or customer service inquiries
• Installation Preferences: Vehicle/equipment details relevant to your purchase (e.g., Jeep model, ATV type)

Automatically Collected Information:

• Device & Browser Data: IP address, browser type, operating system
• Usage Data: Pages visited, products viewed, time spent on site
• Location Data: General location (country/region) for shipping and currency purposes

3. How We Use Your Information

Like our 1-2 day order processing, we use your data efficiently and purposefully:

• Order Fulfillment: Process payments, ship products globally from Louisville, KY, and provide order updates
• Customer Service: Respond to inquiries at [email protected] and provide installation support
• Product Improvement: Understand which amplifiers, speakers, and accessories resonate with our community
• Security: Protect against fraud and unauthorized transactions
• Marketing (with consent): Share relevant product updates for Jeep/4×4 accessories, marine audio, or new Hi-Res Amplifiers

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your data like a delicate component system—with care and precision:

• Payment Processors: Share necessary information with PCI-DSS compliant partners (e.g., for credit card or PayPal transactions)
• Shipping Carriers: Provide address details to global logistics partners for delivery
• Legal Compliance: Disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights
• Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist in website operations (under strict confidentiality agreements)
• We do NOT sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

5. International Data Transfers

Since we ship worldwide (excluding some remote regions), your data may be transferred internationally. All transfers comply with applicable data protection laws. Note: International customers may have foreign transaction fees applied by their financial institution—similar to how customs duties are handled separately by your country.

6. Data Storage & Security

We protect your information with the same robustness as our amplifiers:

• SSL Encryption: Industry-standard 256-bit encryption throughout checkout
• Limited Storage: We retain personal data only as long as necessary for order processing, legal compliance, or legitimate business needs
• Secure Infrastructure: Protected servers and regular security assessments
• PCI-DSS Compliance: Certified secure payment processing

7. Your Rights & Choices

You control your data like you control your sound system:

• Access & Correction: Request to view or update your personal information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your data (subject to legal requirements)
• Marketing Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time
• Cookie Preferences: Manage cookies through your browser settings
• Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a structured format

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected] with “Privacy Request” in the subject line.

8. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience—helping you find the right ATV speakers or backup camera faster:

• Essential Cookies: Required for site functionality and secure checkout
• Performance Cookies: Analyze how customers navigate our site (like which car audio products are most viewed)
• Marketing Cookies: Show relevant ads for products you’ve viewed (e.g., dash cams or Android Auto receivers)

You can disable cookies through browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our products are designed for vehicle enthusiasts and installers. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us immediately.

10. Policy Updates

We may update this policy periodically—just as we upgrade our product lineup with new Apple CarPlay receivers or Jeep accessories. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
