Some information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and browser/device characteristics, is collected automatically when you visit our Services. This information doesn’t reveal your specific identity but includes device and usage data. It’s primarily used for security, operation of our Services, and internal analytics.

3. What Legal Bases Do We Rely On to Process Your Personal Information?
In short: We only process your personal information when we have a valid legal reason to do so under applicable law, such as with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide services to you, to fulfill contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
For Users in the EU or UK
If you are located in the EU or UK, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. We may rely on the following:
Consent: When you have given us permission to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Performance of a Contract: When it’s necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request before entering a contract with you.

Vital Interests: When it’s necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to someone’s safety.
For Users in Canada
If you are located in Canada, we may process your information if you have given us specific permission (express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or where your permission can be inferred (implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted to process your information without your consent, including for:
Investigations, fraud detection, and prevention.
Business transactions, provided certain conditions are met.
Assessing, processing, or settling insurance claims (if the information is in a witness statement).
Identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin.
Reasonable grounds to believe an individual is or may be a victim of financial abuse.
Situations where obtaining consent would compromise the availability or accuracy of information, and collection is reasonable for investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of Canadian or provincial laws.
Disclosure required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records.
Information produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession, and collection is consistent with the purposes for which it was produced.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information during negotiations or in connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company.
When we use Google Maps Platform APIs: We may share your information with certain Google Maps Platform APIs (e.g., Google Maps API, Places API). Google Maps uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers to estimate your location, which helps provide directions. This data is not always perfectly precise.
Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates (our parent company, subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies under common control), and we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy.
Business Partners: We may share your information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services, or promotions.
5. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
In short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. These technologies help us maintain security, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We also allow third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising. This includes managing and displaying advertisements, tailoring ads to your interests, or sending abandoned shopping cart reminders (depending on your communication preferences). These third parties use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests, which may appear on our Services or other websites.
To the extent these online tracking technologies are considered a “sale” or “sharing” (including targeted advertising) under applicable US state laws, you can opt out as described in the “DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?” section.
For specific information on how we use these technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies, please refer to our Cookie Notice.
Google Analytics: We may share your information with Google Analytics to track and analyze the use of our Services. The Google Analytics Advertising Features we may use include Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impressions Reporting, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interests Reporting. To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across the Services, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can opt out of Google Analytics Advertising Features through Ads Settings and Ad Settings for mobile apps. Other opt-out options include http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ and http://www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice. For more on Google’s privacy practices, visit the Google Privacy & Terms page.
6. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
In short: We keep your information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
We only keep your personal information for as long as it’s necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (e.g., for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it. If deletion isn’t possible (e.g., because your information is in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
7. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
In short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. This means we cannot promise or guarantee that unauthorized third parties won’t be able to bypass our security measures and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. While we do our best to protect your personal information, any transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access our Services within a secure environment.
8. Do We Collect Information From Minors?
In short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit data from, market to, or sell personal information of children under 18 years of age. By using our Services, you confirm that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to their use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users under 18 has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at sales@tuscolatractorsales.com .
9. What Are Your Privacy Rights?
In short: Depending on your state of residence in the US or in some regions, such as the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, and Canada, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to:
Request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information.
Request rectification or erasure of your personal information.
Restrict the processing of your personal information.
Data portability (if applicable).
Not be subject to automated decision-making.
In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting us using the details in the “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” section below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA or UK and believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or the UK data protection authority.
If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can do this by contacting us using the contact details in the “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” section below. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal, nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect processing based on lawful grounds other than consent.
Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails, replying “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to our SMS messages, or by contacting us using the details in the “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” section below. You will then be removed from marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you for service-related messages necessary for account administration, service requests, or other non-marketing purposes.
Please note: No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors for support services (like customer service) is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with third parties.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to remove or reject cookies. If you choose to do so, it might affect certain features or services of our Services.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at sales@tuscolatractorsales.com.
10. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting that you can activate to signal your privacy preference against having data about your online Browse activities monitored and collected. Currently, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there isn’t an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals at this time, we do not respond to them.
