Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and time spent on pages. This information is used for website operation and security purposes.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies — small data files stored on your device — to support core site functionality. WooCommerce uses cookies to maintain your shopping cart session and remember your preferences. The Stripe payment gateway may set cookies in connection with payment processing. You may control cookie settings through your browser; however, disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality such as the shopping cart.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries and provide customer service.
- To process and fulfill orders placed through our online shop.
- To register your Norman Tool product and maintain warranty and quality records tied to serial numbers and lot numbers.
- To send you our eNewsletter if you have opted in. We limit marketing emails to an average of less than once per month.
- To improve our website, products, and services.
- To detect and prevent spam or fraudulent form submissions (our forms use a honeypot technique for spam protection).
- To fulfill legal and regulatory obligations.
4. Payment Processing
Online purchases made through our shop are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment gateway. When you complete a purchase, your payment card information is submitted directly to Stripe and is not stored on our servers. Stripe’s use of your data is governed by the Stripe Privacy Policy. Norman Tool does not have access to your full card number.
5. Third-Party Services and Integrations
Our website integrates with several third-party services that may collect or process data independently:
YouTube. Our Technical Support page embeds videos hosted by YouTube (Google LLC). When you view these embedded videos, YouTube may collect information in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy, including setting cookies on your device. We encourage you to review Google’s Privacy Policy.
LinkedIn. Our website links to our LinkedIn company page. If you visit our LinkedIn page, LinkedIn’s privacy practices apply. We do not receive personal data from LinkedIn simply because of this link.
Stripe. As described above, payment data is handled by Stripe.
Gravity Forms. All contact, product registration, and newsletter signup forms are powered by Gravity Forms. Form submission data is stored on our secure WordPress installation and is accessible only to authorized Norman Tool personnel.
6. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: With trusted vendors who assist in operating our website and business (such as our web hosting provider and payment processor), solely as necessary to provide their services to us.
- Distributors: If you request information about a distributor in your region, we may facilitate a connection; you will be informed before any such sharing occurs.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Norman Tool, our customers, or others.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining warranty records associated with product serial numbers and lot numbers, processing ongoing orders, and complying with applicable legal obligations. You may request deletion of your data as described in Section 9.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. Our website is hosted on a secure server, and online transactions are encrypted via SSL/TLS. Our online shop and payment processing through Stripe are designed to industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
