THE TORO COMPANY
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
The Toro Company respects your privacy. We are particularly sensitive
to privacy issues on the Internet and therefore we provide this
Privacy Policy so you know about our online information practices
and understand how we treat the information we receive about you
from the Internet.
The Information We Collect
In general, you can browse our Web site without telling us who you
are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We are,
however, able to determine your IP address. We use your IP address
to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Web
site, to measure the use of our Web site and to improve the content
of our Web site. In short we use your IP to gather aggregate demographic
information. There are a few places where we give you an opportunity
to provide us your personal information. This refers to information
that lets us know the specifics of who you are. When you engage
in certain activities on our web site, such as ordering a product,
entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, sending
us feedback, requesting owners and parts manuals or registering
your product online, we may ask you to provide certain information.
If you choose to share any personal information with us, you will
see that the amount and type of personal information we request
depend on how you use our Web site. It is completely optional for
you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these
activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information,
such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip
code), email address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other
personal identifying information. When ordering products on our
web site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending
upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide
is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not
provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity,
you will not be able to engage in that activity.
Review our online applicant privacy policy to understand how your personal information is handled when applying for a position online. Please complete our applicant privacy form to remove your personal information from our database.
The Way We Use Information
We may use your personal information for particular purposes such
as processing your order or for marketing research and other marketing
purposes and for providing you with the latest product and promotional
information and other information that might be useful to you. We
may use your personal information to deliver information to you
and to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may share
this information with Toro's affiliates, dealers or other business
partners to support your customer relationship with The Toro Company.
We must release your credit card information to the card-issuing
bank to confirm payment for products purchased on our web site;
release your address information to the delivery service to deliver
products that you ordered; and provide order information to third
parties that help us provide customer service. We will not give
or sell this information to any other company for its use in marketing
or solicitation.
Updating and Correcting Your Personal Information
You may access and correct your personal information by writing
us at:
The Toro Company
Attn: Privacy Compliance/Legal Department
8111 Lyndale Avenue South
Bloomington, MN 55420
Please include your name, address, and/or email address when you
contact us.
We encourage you to promptly update your personal information if
it changes.
Your Choice on Collection and Use of Your Information
We may, from time to time, send you mailings, either via email or via
United States Postal Services (USPS), regarding our products and services.
We will send you these mailings only if you indicated that you do not object
to these offers. If you have received a communication from us through email
and you are not interested in receiving future emails from The Toro Company, please use
the unsubscribe link located at the bottom of the email to unsubscribe from
future email communications. If you have received communications through
standard USPS mail and you no longer wish to receive information from The Toro Company,
you can complete our privacy form and your name will be removed from our mailing list.
You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed,
however, because we keep track of past transactions, you cannot delete
information associated with past transactions on our web site. In
addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information
without some residual information because of backups.
We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy
policies. However, the use of your personal information by our service
partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners,
and is not subject to our control. The Toro Web site contains links
to other non-Toro Web sites. Toro is not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of such Web sites and you should exercise
your best judgement when sharing personal information on these Web
sites.
Our Commitment to Security of Your Personal Information
We want you to have continuing trust in The Toro Company and in
our products and services and, so, we have put in place reasonable
physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and
secure your personal information.
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions
and order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking,
processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the
information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other
payment information and to process and ship your order.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless
network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while
we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge
that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet
which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy
of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us
through our web site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information
and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.
By using this Web site you are agreeing to the terms of the Toro
Privacy.
We reserve the right to modify our privacy policy as business needs
require. We will post such changes on our Web site.
