For purposes of this Policy, the following definitions shall apply:
"Personally Identifiable Information" means any information or set of information, whether alone or in combination with other Personally Identifiable Information, gathered, processed, used or stored by Goodyear that is sufficient to identify an individual.

This Online Privacy Policy is applicable to the following web domains operated by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates: goodyear.com, goodyear.ca, fr.goodyear.ca, espanol.goodyear.com, kellytires.com, dunloptires.com, corporate.goodyear.com, goodyearaviation.com, goodyeartrucktires.com, goodyearotr.com, racegoodyear.com, and goodyearrvtires.com, and any other Goodyear website, online service, or mobile application where this Online Privacy is posted or accessible via hyperlink (collectively, the "Sites").

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company encourages you to read these additional terms or policies before utilizing these websites, as your utilization will be governed by those additional privacy terms and/or policies.
Information Collection
When you browse a Goodyear website, PII is not collected simply as a result of your browsing. Some functions of our websites, however, may request that you voluntarily supply Goodyear with PII, including but not limited to your name, email address, phone number, vehicle type, and physical address for purposes such as user registration, making or initiating a purchase, arranging for services, requesting feedback on products and services, participating in online surveys, and otherwise communicating with you. In those instances, you may decline to provide your PII, but as a result you may not have access to, or the benefit of, those features. Goodyear also may retain electronic communications you send to customer service representatives, webmasters, installers or other representatives or other associates or service providers.
Goodyear websites track information about visits to those sites. For example, statistics are compiled that show the daily requests received for particular files on a site, and what countries those requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used to customize Goodyear websites, and may also be provided to others.
Certain Goodyear sites may use "cookies" or "web beacons." A "cookie" is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may be stored on your computer, device or system. Cookies allow Goodyear to better serve visitors to Goodyear websites by offering a tailored experience. A "web beacon," also referred to as a "spotlight" or "pixel tag", is used to recognize unique cookies and assist us in determining which advertisements bring users to a specific website or page. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. If you decline to accept the cookie, it will also disable the web beacon. The information collected does not contain your name, address, telephone number or email address. Goodyear from time to time permits third parties to apply cookies when you visit the site. However, the Goodyear website gives you a means to control how these cookies are placed and used. Currently, Goodyear utilizes a service known as “AdChoice” and you can access it through a link on the respective Goodyear website’s home page. The AdChoice function provides a list of companies that Goodyear allows to track on the websites. You can opt out from receiving interest-based ads from those who allow it by clicking “all off" and "apply changes." If you opt out, these companies will still collect data about you on the Goodyear website, but these companies will not use that data to serve you interest-based advertisements. Different browsers use different methods to communicate such “Do Not Track” signals; the industry has not yet adopted a uniform method to do so. For this reason, Goodyear websites are not able to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals.
Information Goodyear collects may be stored on third party data storage systems, and in those instances Goodyear requires those third parties to employ security practices and systems designed to protect the security of the information. For additional information, please see Goodyear’s Global Privacy Policy

Online Tire Registration Information
Any information provided by users through the online tire registration form available on this site will not be shared with any third party other than as provided by law, nor will it be used for any marketing purposes. Any information you provide in the online tire registration form is maintained in a separate tire registration database and is not used for any other purpose.
Disclosure
Goodyear will not disclose PII to third parties, other than as we may inform you, including as described in this Policy, Goodyear's Global Privacy Policy or where such disclosure is required by law or is in relation to a judicial or government action or investigation.
Goodyear may disclose PII to third parties that assist Goodyear in promoting and marketing its products and services; storing and analyzing the PII; conducting user and consumer ratings, reviews and surveys; communicating with you on Goodyear’s behalf; and processing and fulfilling transactions, including tire purchases and installations and/or other vehicle services; and as otherwise necessary to provide promotional communications or services to website users and customers.
Payment processing, including debit and credit card payment processing, is performed by third party service providers and Goodyear does not process or store your credit or debit card information in connection with transactions occurring through Goodyear websites.
Except as described in Goodyear’s Global Privacy Policy, Goodyear does not otherwise sell or rent PII to other persons or entities unless specifically disclosed at the point of collection.
Other Websites
Goodyear websites may contain links to non-Goodyear sites, and we make every effort to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy. However, Goodyear is not responsible for the content of or the privacy practices employed by non-Goodyear sites.
Children
Goodyear does not knowingly collect any PII (such as name, address and telephone number) from children under 13 years of age through any Goodyear website. Goodyear websites specifically instruct children under 13 not to submit such information to this web site. Goodyear does not allow children under 13 to register for or participate in contests or promotions on this site. However, if the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that his or her child has provided Goodyear with PII, that parent or guardian should contact Goodyear if they want this information deleted from Goodyear’s systems. If Goodyear obtains knowledge that it has PII about a child under 13 in retrievable form in its files Goodyear will delete that information from existing files. In addition, anyone under 18 years of age should seek his or her parent's or guardian's permission prior to using or disclosing any PII on this site.
