We at M&M value the relationship we have with our customers and we are committed to responsible information handling practices. Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. Because we gather certain types of information to process orders, we want you to understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. M&M will not sell your e-mail address for any reason!
Collection of Information:
Toolsandmachinery.com gathers two types of information about users: Personal data, provided through voluntary registration. Aggregated data, which tracks users as a whole.
Personal Data:
We collect personal information such as your contact information (name, e-mail address), and billing/shipping information (credit card number, shipping address). Credit card numbers are never stored on our system, nor do we have access to that data through our merchant account. When submitting personal information on an online form, we will identify which fields are required in order to fulfill your request. As part of our agreement with Festool, customers' name, address and phone number will be released to Festool USA at the time of Festool tool purchases for the purposes of tool registration and warranty. To opt out of information collection please contact us. We request information when you purchase products or services. In addition, when using our Website, our servers may collect click-stream information such as: the address, or URL of the Website that you came from before visiting our site, which pages you visit on our site, which browser you used to view our site, and any search terms you have entered on our site. Your provision of such additional information is your acknowledgment that you consent to our use of such information to better serve you as our visitor, and others coming to our sites. Except as described below, it is not disclosed to parties in any way that personally identifies you without your prior permission. Aggregated Data:
Aggregated data, which tracks website user activity as a whole rather than on an individual basis, is gathered through several methods. This tracking data follows website traffic in general, and is not used to identify you personally. Aggregated tracking information helps us to determine which areas of our site users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what you read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We may disclose such aggregated information to third parties such as our vendors. We request that persons under 18 do not submit or post any information to the site without a parent's or guardian's consent. We will not request or knowingly collect from these persons any information online that can be traced to the person such as an e-mail address, name, or information about the person's family. Unless a parent or guardian consents to such use in advance, we will not knowingly use information that these persons provide to us for any marketing, selling or promotional purposes.
