Site Overview
DLP is a website that supports and promotes the open exchange of information about the use of digital technology within the automotive service industry. Many of the services of the site are offered at no cost; however, the DLP does offer publications and other products and services for a fee.
eCommerce Information
When commerce is conducted on the DLP website, DLP will contract with a third party to handle the transaction. At no point will DLP have access to a user’s credit card or banking information.
Private Information & Administration eMail
For a user to register with the DLP website, the only information required is a user name, and a valid email address. This information is kept private and will not be given or sold to any outside organization.
When a user registers with the DLP website, their email address is added to the DLP administrative mailing list by default. The DLP Administrator will email out no more than one mailing per month to inform registered users of additional site features and site news. You may opt-out of any mailings.
Multiple Registrations Not Allowed
Each registered user must have a unique email address (DLP users cannot share an email address) and a user may only register with DLP one time. When a user registers with a site more than once, it is typically an attempt to present themselves to the registration system as a new user to take advantage of trial offers or to circumvent being banned by the site administrator.
