THE TORO COMPANY
PRIVACY POLICY
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 filling
out a survey, sending us feedback, or requesting owners and parts manuals,
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.
Additionally, our website employs the use of cookies in certain areas. Cookies are
small bits of information stored on your browser. Cookies enable browsers to "remember"
information related to a specific user, and also improve navigational reliability
within a given site. The use of cookies allows us to recognize you every time you
visit, and to personalize our website to better suit your needs. This website utilizes
cookie technology for information collected on our User Registration and User Login
pages. If you are uncomfortable with storing cookies on your browser, you may set
your browser specifically to reject cookies.
The Way We Use Information
We may use your personal information for particular purposes such as 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 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:
Toro Micro Irrigation
Attn: Privacy Compliance/Marketing Department
1588 N. Marshall Ave.
El Cajon, CA 92020
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 Toro through email and you are not interested in receiving
future emails from us, 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 us, 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.
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.
