When this policy applies.
This Privacy Policy describes how WeBuyTools.com (“WeBuyTools,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal information when you interact with our website, communications, tool-selling process, buyer-facing services, and related operations.
This policy does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that we do not control, even when they are linked from our website.

Package dimensions, weight, labels, tracking numbers, delivery updates, returns, shipment images, and carrier-claim documents.

Operate the website, display offers, create orders, process purchases, and provide account features.
Receive shipments, match packages, inspect tools, verify condition, communicate revised offers, and complete approved transactions.
Create labels, provide tracking, coordinate deliveries and returns, and review loss or damage claims.

How we share information.
We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to operate, protect, improve, or legally support our services. Recipients may include:
Shopify and commerce providers that support our storefront, checkout, account, and website functions.
Payment and payout providers that authorize, settle, and document transactions.
Shipping carriers and logistics providers that create labels, transport packages, provide tracking, process returns, or review claims.
Technology and operations providers for hosting, analytics, communications, fraud prevention, security, support, and data storage.
Professional advisers such as accountants, auditors, insurers, consultants, and legal counsel.
Government or legal recipients where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
Business-transfer recipients during a merger, financing, acquisition, sale, restructuring, bankruptcy, or asset transfer.
Other recipients at your direction when you ask us to share information or complete an action.
Shopify and service providers.
Our online store is hosted through Shopify. Shopify may process information about visitors and customers to provide storefront, checkout, account, security, fraud-prevention, analytics, and related commerce services.
We may also use third-party applications and integrations. Those providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
Cookies and analytics.
We and our providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, server logs, and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, maintain carts and sessions, secure accounts, measure performance, understand activity, and evaluate communications or advertising.
You may be able to control certain cookies through your browser, device settings, or a cookie-preference tool where available. Blocking cookies may affect website functions.
Advertising and marketing.
We may send service-related messages and, where permitted, promotional communications. You may unsubscribe from promotional email using the link in the message, but you may still receive transactional or service communications.
We and advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising and provide more relevant content. Under some laws, certain advertising disclosures may be considered “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising. Where required, applicable opt-out methods will be provided.
Payments and payouts.
Purchases and seller payouts may be processed by third-party payment, banking, or payout providers. These providers may collect information needed to complete transactions, verify identity, prevent fraud, meet financial or tax requirements, and maintain records.
WeBuyTools may receive limited details such as transaction status, payment method type, payout status, masked account information, billing details, or provider reference numbers.
Data retention.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain transaction and accounting records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, protect legal rights, and comply with law.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or securely dispose of it, subject to backup, archival, legal-hold, and technical limitations.
Information security.
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No website, network, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Your privacy rights.
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or an opt-out from certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or marketing activities.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some requests may be limited or denied when an exception applies, including when information must be retained to complete a transaction, prevent fraud, comply with law, or protect legal rights.
Tell us what you are requesting and provide enough information for us to locate and verify the relevant records.
Children’s privacy.
WeBuyTools is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Users must also meet any minimum-age or legal-capacity requirements that apply to a transaction.
Changes to this policy.
We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology, business practices, or legal obligations. When updated, we may revise the effective date and provide additional notice where required.
