Effective date: January 1, 2025 · Last updated: June 2025Terms of Service →

This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and how your payments are handled — including disclosure of our Stripe merchant of record entity.

01

Who We Are

All online payments made through this website are processed by High End Machinery Parts LLC, a company registered in the State of Florida, USA, which is our designated merchant of record with Stripe, Inc. Both entities share the contact email info@highendmachineryparts.com and operate as an integrated supply operation.

02

We also collect information automatically when you visit our website: • IP address and approximate location • Browser type and device information • Pages visited, time on site, and referring URLs • Cookie identifiers (see the Cookies section below)

Payment Data & Stripe

All payments on this website are processed by High End Machinery Parts LLC (Florida, USA) via Stripe, Inc. We do not store, process, or transmit your payment card data on our own servers. All card data is collected and encrypted directly by Stripe.

Stripe acts as a data processor on behalf of High End Machinery Parts LLC. Stripe's own privacy policy governs the handling of payment card information and is available at stripe.com/privacy.

When you complete a purchase, the transaction appears on your statement under High End Machinery Parts LLC or a similar Stripe merchant descriptor. Any payment disputes or chargebacks are handled through Stripe under the High End Machinery Parts LLC merchant account.

05

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as necessary to operate our business:

• Stripe, Inc. — to process payments (card data handled entirely by Stripe) • Courier and delivery partners — name and address to fulfill deliveries within Trinidad and Tobago • High End Machinery Parts LLC — as our US procurement and payment processing entity; both entities operate as an integrated supply operation • Email service providers — to send order confirmations and newsletter communications • Legal and regulatory authorities — where required by law or to protect our rights

All third-party processors are contractually required to handle your data securely and only for the purposes for which it was shared.
