Data Privacy
Who Sees Buy Prices in PartsTrader?
One of our core commitments to the industry is to protect confidential data. Critical to this point is the fact that the only users with access to the buy price on parts are the buyer and the seller involved in the transaction.
The only exception to this commitment is with respect to recycled parts, for which the industry practice is for insurance companies to reimburse the shop for their buy price plus an agreed-upon markup.
With PartsTrader as a channel for as many as 15,000 orders, or over $6 million in transaction value, in a single day, we have proven this point over and over again. Not a single buy price is visible to any party other than the two companies directly participating in the transaction. Those companies without visibility in to the purchase price include other parts providers and insurance companies.
