SOURCES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
When you visit this Website, you may provide acmetools.com with two types of information: personal information you knowingly and voluntarily choose to disclose, and information that we automatically collect as you browse this Website.
Information You Voluntarily Submit - We collect and store any information you enter on this Website, or provide to acmetools.com in other contacts we have with you. Information is collected from visitors to this Website, including in the areas described below, as applicable. During the on-line ordering process, you can review, change, or delete personally identifiable information that you have submitted. You may change any of your personally identifiable information in your account online at any time. You may request to have the information on your account deleted or removed, although you cannot delete information associated with past purchases.
Placing Orders - When you order from acmetools.com, we collect personally identifiable information from you. When the billing information and shipping information differ, both addresses are added to our mailing list for the purposes of sending newsletters, catalogs, and other promotional materials. When you place a credit card payment, your information may be shared with a third-party verification service to help prevent fraud.
Employment Applications - Some areas of this Website may allow you to submit information related to job opportunities with Acme Tools. Please note that your submission of such information may be further governed by specific provisions that appear on any applicable employment opportunities sections of this Website.
Gift Certificates - If you purchase a gift certificate from this Website, you will give acmetools.com information for the recipient.
Online Surveys/Product Reviews - In order to improve our services to you, we ask some of our customers to voluntarily complete surveys or review products, which may be collected by an independent third party. Individual survey answers are confidential, although non-personally identifiable information is collected and disclosed to third parties. If you do not wish to participate in a survey, simply decline to participate when asked.
Contests and Sweepstakes - When you enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask you for contact information such as your name, address and e-mail address in order to administer the contest, to send you promotional e-mails, notify winners and make the winner's list publicly available pursuant to certain state's laws. Your consent to such promotional use and disclosure of this information is a condition of your participation. As a condition of receiving any prize, you will be required to submit an eligibility affidavit, for acmetools.com to ensure that you are eligible to receive the prize according to the contest rules.
Contact Information - If you contact acmetools.com customer service representatives by telephone, e-mail or letter, we may keep a record of your correspondence or comments. If you report a problem with this Website, we may collect such information in a file specific to you. If you contact acmetools.com through our feedback area or by calling one of our customer service representatives, we may ask for your name and e-mail address in order to send you a reply. If other users or third parties send acmetools.com correspondence about your activities or purchases on this Website, we may keep the information in a file specific to you. We use a third party to help acmetools.com provide customer service. In order to help you most effectively, we provide them with your order information.
Extended Warranty Information - Our warranty programs are administered by a third party warranty company. When you purchase a warranty on a product or service, we submit your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, warranty purchased and product purchased to the warranty company.
Newsletters - We offer free newsletters and promotional e-mails as a service to our customers. We will send you newsletters and e-mails periodically listing current specials and deals. To stop receiving our newsletter, send an e-mail to us at optout@acmetools.com.
Information Collected and Stored Automatically - When you browse this Website, you and your Web browser may also transmit information that we automatically collect.
