This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of Your information when You use the Service.
We use Your Personal data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, You agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The words of which the initial letter is capitalized have meanings defined under the following conditions. The following definitions shall have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:
"Company" (referred to as either "the Company", "We", "Us" or "Our" in this Agreement) refers to TechTools.
"Country" refers to USA.
"Cookies" are small files that are placed on Your Device by a website, containing non-personal information like Your shopping cart number or Your preferred font size.
"Device" means any device that can access the Service such as a computer, a cell phone or a digital tablet.
"Personal Data" is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
"Service" refers to the Website.
"Service Provider" means any natural or legal person who processes the data on behalf of the Company. It refers to third-party companies or individuals employed by the Company to facilitate the Service, to provide the Service on behalf of the Company, to perform services related to the Service or to assist the Company in analyzing how the Service is used.
"Usage Data" refers to data collected automatically, either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).
"Website" refers to the TechTools’ website, accessible from tech-tools.com and subdomains.
"You" means the individual accessing or using the Service, or the company, or other legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using the Service, as applicable.
We collect the minimum Personal Data necessary to fulfill Your request, protect our system from abuse, and meet our legal requirements.
We collect the contact information and ship-to address You enter into the checkout form when purchasing Our products. We also collect Your current IP address and the Agent String automatically provided by Your browser when you interact with the Website.
We do not collect, store or even handle Your payment card information. Your payment card information is submitted from your browser, directly to the credit card processor. They return a 'result code' and a 'transaction code' to us to reference the charge. These codes are what we store in our databases.
Any Personal Data You provide through the Website or by any other means is used to complete Your order, collect payment, provide customer support, prevent and respond to fraud, maintain financial records, and meet other legal requirements.
The ship-to address is used to deliver Your order to You. The contact information is used to communicate with You about Your order. For example, We might send You a payment card receipt when You place the order and a shipping confirmation when We ship the order. We use this information to contact You if We have a question or problem with the order.
We use Your browser Agent String and current IP for fraud and abuse detection. For example, We use this information to help detect and block automated processes (bots) from placing orders.
We record this data in our sales records. This is necessary to generate sales receipts, honor warranties, comply with tax laws, respond to fraud or credit card inquiries, and meet general accounting practices.
We do not use Your Personal Data for marketing purposes, nor do We attempt to combine it with other data sources to build a profile of You.
We disclose to third party Service Providers, the minimum Personal Data necessary to fulfill these functions. For example, We will provide Your shipping information and contact information to the delivery company (UPS, FedEx...) to deliver Your order and notify You of the shipping status.
Under certain circumstances, We may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
If We are involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Our sales records may be transferred.
We may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
Comply with a legal obligation
Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company
Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
Protect the personal safety of Users of the Service or the public
Protect against legal liability
We do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose Your Personal Data to anyone except as required to fulfill these functions.
The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Your Personal Data is transmitted between your browser and Our Website using SSL encryption.
While you are in the process of checking out, Your Personal Data and other cart information is encrypted and stored on the Website server.
You can enter some of Your data into the shopping cart and come back later to complete the order. If an order is not completed within a few days, it is deleted (along with any data You might have entered.)
Once Your order is completed, the sale information (including Your Personal Data) is recorded in Our financial records and your Personal Data is deleted from the Website server.
We will not store or collect Your payment card details. That information is transferred from your browser, directly to Our third-party payment processors whose use of Your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.
Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Data about how the website is used is collected automatically when using the Service.
We use the most popular web server on the net: Apache. It, like all web servers, maintains logs for maintenance, diagnostic and statistical purposes. For each item fetched from our Website (web page, image, style sheet...), Apache creates a log entry with the following information: IP, time-stamp, requested resource, result (OK, missing..), file size, referrer and the browser agent. This information is insufficient to identify an individual user unless combined with additional external information. We make no attempt to use this information to identify specific users except as necessary to stop or prosecute abusive behavior.
We use this information to
Detect broken-links/missing-resources.
Detect server errors like a misconfiguration or database errors
Detect and document abusive behavior like DOS attacks, attempted hacking or fraud.
Gather aggregate statistics like page popularity and bandwidth usage.
Cookies have many uses. They are essential to some website functionality (like remembering which shopping cart is Yours or avoiding the need to login to every page you visit.) Unfortunately, people have developed undesirable uses for them like tracking You across websites or building profiles of You. Most of these undesirable uses are implemented through 3rd party Cookies.
We only use 1st party Cookies and we only use them as originally intended; to enable or enhance the Website functionality.
These Cookies are essential to provide You with services available through the Website and to enable You to use some of its features. They help to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of user accounts, and enable Us to associate the data You have placed in Your shopping cart with a specific order. Without these Cookies, the services that You have asked for cannot be provided. We only use these Cookies to provide You with those services.
Functional Cookies are used to remember Your specific choices or device characteristics that affect the page layout. For example, you can choose a different font size in the on-line manuals. We use a Cookie to remember that choice so that You don’t have to set it on each new or refreshed page. We only use these Cookies for these purposes.
We do not use cookies for these purposes.
Your browser allows You to control how it handles Cookies. This section describes the effect each common setting has on the Website functionality.
Allow all Cookies: The Website will function normally. This is safe because We only use 1st party, Essential and Functional Cookies. These do not store any Personal Data, are not used to track you, and are not viewable by 3rd party websites.
Block 3rd party Cookies: The Website will function normally since We do not use 3rd party Cookies.
Block all Cookies: The Website will not function properly. For example, purchasing products would be impossible since there is no way of knowing which shopping cart is Yours.
Clear Cookies on close: The Website will function normally except You will not be able to start an order in one session and complete it in another. If You leave the Website before completing the order, You will have to re-enter Your information when You return to finish the order because the Website will not know which shopping cart is Yours.
We do not track You across devices, browsers, or websites or build a behavioral profile of You.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.
If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.
Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services, including those listed as Our distributors or authorized resellers.
We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Website, and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on the Website.
