Tool Store Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 10, 2018
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, Tool Store ("us", "our" or "we")
provides this Privacy Policy, which explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about
the way in which your information is collected and used on this website (this "Website"). Please see our Terms and Conditions
for additional information applicable to your use of our Website. By accessing or using any areas of our
Website, you expressly consent to the provisions of the Privacy Policy and to our collection, storage, use and
disclosure of information obtained from you as described in this Privacy Policy.
The Information We Collect
You do not have to give us personally identifiable information in order to access and browse our Website.
However, while on our Website, you may be able to order and buy products, enter promotions, sweepstakes or
other contests, participate in a survey, complete a questionnaire or other "information request" form, or otherwise
communicate with us, including via email and/or SMS/text messaging. In order to utilize, participate in or
otherwise access such products, services or other offerings, you may be required to provide us with your personally
identifiable information, which is information that, alone or in combination with other information, allows us to
identify you, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, credit card
information, financial information or information relating to a support or service issue. If you provide us with
your personally identifiable information, you are giving us permission to use that information for the
specific purpose for which it is provided and for any other purpose described in this Privacy Policy,
which are described in detail below under "How We Use the Information". Users unwilling to provide
personally identifiable information online can choose not to provide such information, and in some (but not all)
situations users may be able to work with a sales representative or customer service representative to utilize our
services or other site offerings without providing personally identifiable information.
In addition, if you do provide us with your personally identifiable information, you have the ability to prevent
us from sharing your information with third parties if you wish, as described below under
"Your Options Regarding Personally Identifiable Information".
We also may collect, store and use certain non-personally identifiable information we receive when you visit
our Website or otherwise communicate with us, including via email and/or SMS/text messaging, and we may
aggregate data and information provided by or collected from multiple users (which may include you) in a manner
that is not personally identifiable to any individual user. All non-personally identifiable information we collect and
all aggregated/compilations of data we create are our exclusive property. Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits our
right to use any such non-personally identifiable or aggregated information in any way (including, but not limited
to, monitoring user traffic patterns, analyzing and quantifying user preferences, improving the design and content
of our Website, and enabling us to personalize your user experience) or prohibits us from sharing non-personally
identifiable or aggregated information with third parties.
How We Use the Information
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we share personally identifiable
information collected on our Website with unaffiliated third parties only as described below. (Please see "Your
Options Regarding Personally Identifiable Information" below for information on how to avoid having your
personally identifiable information shared by us.)
-
Business Providers, Unaffiliated Businesses: At times, we may provide products, services or offerings on
our Website in cooperation with an unaffiliated third party. We may share personally identifiable information that
you provide in connection with any such products, services or offerings with the unaffiliated third party(ies)
involved in your particular product, service or offering. For instance, when you express interest in products,
services or other items that we offer (for example, by completing a request for or information regarding such
services), we will share your request with the businesses with which we partner to offer you those products,
services and other offerings (collectively, "Business Providers"). By electing to participate or otherwise
expressing interest in any such product, service or offering conducted in conjunction with any Business
Provider, you expressly authorize us to provide your personally identifiable information to those
Business Providers. Please be aware that the Business Providers with whom we share your personally
identifiable information may retain or use your information whether or not you use their services, and the privacy
and information sharing practices of such Business Providers may differ from those described in this Privacy Policy.
Additionally, we may share personally identifiable information with unaffiliated third parties to whom you expressly
ask us to send your information. If you prefer not to be contacted by any such Business Provider or other third
party with whom we share your personally identifiable information, you may follow the "unsubscribe" instructions
provided in any email you receive from any such third party. In addition, you may opt-out of our sharing your
personally identifiable information with Business Providers and other third parties or request removal of data by emailing us at lanatoolstorechicago@gmail.com.
-
Third Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions
on our behalf. Examples may include fulfilling orders, sending postal mail and email, analyzing data,
providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links),
processing credit card payments and providing customer service. In connection with their performance of
these functions on our behalf, we may share personally identifiable information with such companies and
individuals as needed for them to perform their functions.
-
In-House Promotions: We may on occasion combine information we receive online with outside
records to enhance our ability to market our products and services that may be of interest to
you. If you have signed up to receive our emails or SMS/text messages and prefer not to
receive marketing information from us, please follow the "unsubscribe" instructions provided on
any marketing email you receive from us or contact us at lanatoolstorechicago@gmail.com.
-
Protection of Our Website and Others: We reserve the right to release personally identifiable
information to unaffiliated third parties when we believe its release is appropriate to comply with
the law, enforce or apply our Website Terms and Conditions and other agreements, or protect the
rights, property or safety of our company, our users or others. This includes exchanging
information with other unaffiliated third parties in connection with fraud protection and credit risk
reduction.
-
Business Transactions: In addition, we may also disclose your personally identifiable information in connection with reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including accounts) for the purpose of evaluating and/or performing the proposed transaction (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings). These purposes may include, as examples, permitting such parties to determine whether to proceed or continue with the transaction, fulfilling any reporting or audit requirements to such parties, and/or disclosing personal information as part of concluding a sale or transfer of assets. Our successors and assigns may collect, use and disclose your personal identifiable information for substantially the same purposes as those set out in this Privacy Policy. In the event the transaction does not go through, we will require, by contract, the other party or parties to the transaction not to use or disclose your personally identifiable information in any manner whatsoever for any purpose, and to return or destroy such personally identifiable information.
-
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice and have the opportunity
to withhold consent when personally identifiable information about you might be shared with
unaffiliated third parties.
Your Options Regarding Personally Identifiable Information
Except where we believe the release of your personally identifiable information is necessary or appropriate
(a) to allow third party service provider functions on our behalf or (b) to comply with law, enforce or apply our
Website Terms and Conditions and other agreements, or protect the rights, property or safety of our company, our
users or others, you may opt out of our sharing of your personally identifiable information with unaffiliated third
parties or request removal of data by emailing us at lanatoolstorechicago@gmail.com.
Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to request and receive information about disclosure of your personally identifiable information to third parties
for their direct marketing purposes. Because it is our policy not to share your personally identifiable information with third parties for third-party direct marketing
purposes without your consent, we are exempt from the requirement to respond to such requests. If you have any questions about our compliance with this requirement,
please contact us at lanatoolstorechicago@gmail.com.
Third Party Online Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies to provide advertisements to you when you visit our Website. These
companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about
your visits to this and other websites in order to show you advertisements tailored to your interests on this and
other websites and other interactive media and/or to keep track of your response to each ad. For more information
on this practice, or to opt out of having this information used by these companies, please visit the Network
Advertising Initiative here.
Use of Cookies
"Cookies" are simple text files stored on your computer for use by a browser. Certain Website features may
only be available through the placement of a cookie. We may use "cookies" to assist in data collection and to track
visitor Website usage and trends to help us better serve our customers. The use of cookies is a standard practice
among Internet Websites; most Internet browsers permit a user to accept, decline or delete cookies.
Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Ad Servers
Our Website may contain links to other websites whose information practices may be different than ours. Our
Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and procedures may or may not be consistent with the policies and
procedures of such third party websites, and when you visit such websites our Terms and Conditions and Privacy
Policy do not apply to personally identifiable information and other data collected by such third party. You should
consult, read and understand the privacy notices of such third parties before choosing to provide personally
identifiable information on any such linked websites.
Our Website may also use a third party ad server to present the advertisements that you may see on our
Website. These third party ad servers may use cookies, Web beacons, clear .gifs or similar technologies to help
present such advertisements, and to help measure and research the advertisements' effectiveness. The use of
these technologies by these third party ad servers is subject to their own privacy policies and is not covered by our
Privacy Policy.
YouTube API Services are used to embed YouTube videos on our Website. Please see YouTube Terms of Service (ToS) and Google Privacy Policy for more information.
Do Not Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms
Some browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that, when turned on, signals to websites with which they communicate that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to a DNT signal, we do not currently respond to DNT signals on our Website. Instead, as described above in this Privacy Policy you can manage how your information can be used by us and/or third-party service providers.
Our Commitment to Security
We have in place what we believe to be reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to
safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access of, maintain data security for and correctly use the personally
identifiable information you have provided or that we otherwise collect on our Website.
However, while such efforts are intended to ensure the confidentiality of your personally identifiable
information available to us as a result of your use of our website, we cannot and do
not warrant or guarantee the absolute safety and security of your personally
identifiable information.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password, your computer and your mobile device(s). Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer. Additionally, change your passwords often using a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure Web browser.

about you via our Website to view and correct any factual errors in such information. Access to personally
identifiable information that you provide or we collect via our Website may be accessible for a limited period of time
