Google Analytics:
Rikon Power Tools Inc. does not sell or distribute information collected by Google Analytics. Like millions of other websites, rikonparts.com uses Google Analytics for our website.

• Where on the website you have visited.

What does Rikon Power Tools Inc. do with your data?
The tracking information allows Rikon Power Tools Inc. to better understand the kind of people who coming to our site and what content they’re reading. This allows Rikon Power Tools Inc. to make better decisions about design and writing.

Occasionally, Rikon Power Tools Inc. will compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting.

All of Rikon Power Tools Inc.’s activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you ‘opt-in’ and consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information just contact us at ap@rikontools.com.

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so, or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – WooCommerce

Our store is hosted on WooCommerce. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored through WooCommerce data storage, databases and the general WooCommerce application. It stores your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then QuickBooks Merchant Services stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so that you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located or have facilities in different jurisdictions than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
