We use Quickbooks Merchant Services (QBMS) to process all credit card transactions which is encrypted by GeoTrust Inc. SSL Certificate at 256-bit level of encryption, higher than most sites, which means the user's credit card information is entered on the user's computer, encrypted and sent directly to QBMS automatically and processed. At no time does The Range Tool Company see your card or any financial information. QBMS then sends back an acceptance with "only" the last 4 digits of the user card with an authorization/transaction number.

    • We provide information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with The Range Tool Company under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help The Range Tool Company communicate with you, for example, an e-mail service provider that helps The Range Tool Company administer e-mails. These companies are acting on behalf of The Range Tool Company, and may not use or share this information for their own purposes.

    • We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

    • We share information we believe is needed in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected illegal activities, actual fraud, potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of The Range Tool Company's Service Agreement, or as otherwise required by law.

    • We transfer information about you if The Range Tool Company or our service is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, The Range Tool Company will notify you by either email or by prominent notice on our website if information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

  • The Range Tool Company may, from time to time, communicate with you regarding our products and services, or those of our partners, that we feel may be of interest to you.

    • Only The Range Tool Company (or agents working on behalf of The Range Tool Company and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these communications.

    • If you do not want to receive promotional information, simply notify us by opting-out of future correspondence. We will provide you clear instructions on how to opt-out in the welcome email we send you, and in any subsequent emails you may receive.

    • Generally, you may not opt-out of service-related announcements and customer service emails, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.

Confidentiality and Security

  • We limit access to personal information about you to employees or contractors who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
