Information We Gather
Our websites log IP addresses and browser types, but we do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that users sessions are tracked, but users remain anonymous. You can browse our site without entering any personal information and therefore remain anonymous during your visit. We hope our visitors will register so that we can learn more about our visitors. Our order/registration form asks users for name, email, address, preferences, and some limited demographic information. This information is needed to rapidly process and ship your
order.
We maintain a list of email addresses to send our newsletters containing special offers you may be interested in. If you prefer not to receive the newsletter, but would still like to register, you may register and opt out of our newsletter.
Certain specials and bonus gifts will be available only with coupons included in the free newsletter.

Checkout and Order Forms
The information that we require on our order form is used to process your orders quickly and accurately. Your contact information is used to send you the product that you purchase and your billing information will only be used to bill you for that product.
We do not sell or distribute email, addresses or telephone numbers, except to the carriers involved in delivering your packages to facilitate tracking and delivery.

Cookies
Our site uses cookies to keep track referrals and items in your shopping cart and wish list. We also use cookies to remember members passwords so you do not have to re-enter them each time they visit the site. You can set your browser to reject cookies, however, if certain cookies that track your selections are rejected, we won't be able to keep items in your cart from visit to visit. You will have to reenter this information on every visit.

Security
When you place an order online, your personal information and credit card information are scrambled using encryption technology before being sent over the Internet. This makes it virtually impossible for your information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred through cyberspace. When we receive your order, it is kept encrypted behind a firewall until we're ready to process it. In addition, we erase most of your credit card information from our web site database so it is therefore safe from "hackers."

General Advice
Finally, although HardwareAndTools.com has a very strong Privacy Protection policy on our end, and do their utmost to protect privacy of all visitors, we bear no responsibility for anyone else's conduct with respect to material you transmit. As is true with ANY Internet usage and access to ANY Website, if you are using someone else's computer, or someone else has access to your computer, or spyware is resident on your computer, or you are using a corporate or other "network", it may be possible for that "someone else" or the "network" operator to retrieve copies of Email you sent from the computer and/or to trace the places you have been visiting on the Internet.
