Information Gathered by Using our website
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience on our website. Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us
We receive and store any information you enter on our web site or give us in any other way. Examples of the information we gather are collected on this page. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information
We may receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites, we may use “cookies,” and we may obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our website or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. on other web sites.
E-Mail Communications
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc., if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please let us know and refrain from visiting our website
Information from Other Sources
We may receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
For some e-mails distributed by JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. and related entities, specific information on recipient response is collected. For example, we may review how many recipients open and subsequently choose to click through to links provided in an e-mail. We use this information for the purposes of analyzing areas of interest, improving our products and enhancing the usefulness of our website for JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. customers and other visitors. No specific user information is sold or distributed outside of JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. in any manner, although summary data — not releasing specific email addresses or customer names — may be released to third parties.
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described herein and with subsidiaries JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. controls that either are subject to this privacy notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this privacy notice.
Specific Examples of Information Collected

Automatic Information
Examples of the information we collect and analyze may include the internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type, version, and time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform; quote request history, which we may sometimes aggregate with similar information from other customers to create various features; the full uniform resource locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our website, including date and time; cookie number; products you viewed or searched for; and the phone number you used to call our published phone number. We may also use browser data such as cookies, flash cookies (also known as flash local shared objects), or similar data on certain parts of our website for fraud prevention and other purposes. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption information, financing information, and page-view information from some merchants with which we operate co-branded businesses or for which we provide technical, fulfillment, advertising, or other services; search term and search result information from some searches conducted through the web search features offered by our subsidiaries; search results and links, including paid listings; and credit history information from credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud and to offer certain credit or financial services to some customers.
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control
We work closely with affiliated businesses. When we are working with a third party on a transaction, we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party.
Third-Party Service Providers
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include website development, fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These parties have access to personal information needed to perform their functions.
Promotional Offers
Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. customers on behalf of other businesses. If you do not want to receive such offers, please let us know and refrain from visiting our website.
Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc., or a substantial amount of its assets are acquired, customer information will be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. and Others
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc., our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
With Your Consent
Other than as set out herein, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
Information Security
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using software which is intended to protect the information you input.
We reveal only the last digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites
These third-party web sites and advertisers, or internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or “serve”) the advertisements that appear on our website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content.

Although JATAS Machinery Sales, Inc. does not provide any personal information to advertisers, advertisers (including ad-serving companies) may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalized advertisement meet their criteria to personalize the ad. If you do not want us to use personal information that we gather to allow third parties to personalize advertisements we display to you, please let us know.
