Privacy policy

General Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us, so we do not share, sell, or rent your personal information.  We do not rent or sell any of our email, newsletter, or customer lists.  We do not add your name to any paper mailing lists, and we do not send unsolicited mail to your physical address.

When you order from us via our web site, we do not automatically add your name or email address to any mailing lists.  We hate spam just as much as you do!  The only emails that you will receive from us will be related to your order (confirmation, shipping notification, any questions that may arise in fulfilling your order), to your tracking information, or any issues with your account.

If you wish to join our email list, you must opt in voluntarily-- you can do so below, at the footer of our web site.

Our In-store Loyalty Program and Your Privacy

Customers who visit us in our physical store location have the option of joining our in-store loyalty program, which keeps track of your purchases and provides you with discount rewards and other special offers.  Participation in this program is entirely optional; to participate, you must opt in. No one is ever automatically entered into the loyalty program.

The loyalty program uses your telephone number to identify your individual loyalty account; it does not require a name.  If you opt to use the loyalty program's online interface or smartphone app to access all the program's features, then some of your basic personal information (name, address, email, etc.) will be shared with the third-party company that runs the loyalty program. Any emails, texts, special offers, or other electronic notifications sent to you via the loyalty program will only be related to purchases and offers at The Tool Shed; personal and purchase data will not be shared outside of the Tool Shed and the loyalty program itself.

Full loyalty program information can be obtained at our physical store location.
