Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 26, 2023

Welcome to Husqvarna Sale Store (theaffordus.com). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and purchase our professional-grade outdoor and agricultural equipment.

Our approach to privacy mirrors the robustness, reliability, and transparency you expect from our products—from commercial disc harrows to automowers. Just as our equipment is built for demanding tasks, our data practices are designed with security and clarity at their core.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that enables us to process your orders, improve your experience, and provide professional customer service.

• Personal Identification Information: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number, and payment details (processed securely via our payment gateways).
• Transaction Data: Details about purchases you make (e.g., product type such as chainsaws, lawn tractors, or commercial bundles), order value, payment method, and shipping information.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and how you interact with our site (via cookies and similar technologies).
• Communication Data: Records of your correspondence with us via email ([email protected]) or other channels.
• Preference Data: Your preferences regarding products, marketing, and communication.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the same efficiency and purpose that defines our equipment—only for necessary, clear objectives:

• To process and fulfill your orders, including shipping and customer support.
• To manage your account and provide order history tracking.
• To communicate with you about orders, products, promotions, and updates relevant to professionals and serious homeowners.
• To improve our website, product range, and customer service based on analytics.
• To prevent fraud and ensure the security of our payment systems.
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We treat your data with the confidentiality expected in professional transactions. We do not sell your personal data. We may share information only in these circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted partners who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., payment processing via Visa, MasterCard, JCB, PayPal; shipping carriers; IT services). These partners are contractually bound to protect your data.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale, or acquisition of our business.
• With Your Consent: Where you have explicitly agreed.

Note for International Customers: As we ship globally (excluding some Asian and remote regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States (our warehouse location) or other countries where our service providers operate, always under adequate safeguards.

4. Data Storage and Security

We implement commercial-grade security measures akin to the durability of our products. Your data is stored on secure servers and protected by:

• SSL Encryption: Industry-standard encryption during data transmission.
• Secure Payment Gateways: Payment details are processed by PCI-DSS compliant partners (e.g., PayPal, major card networks). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
• Access Controls: Limited access to personal data to authorized personnel only.
• Retention: We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined, or as required by law.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your personal data, consistent with applicable privacy laws (such as GDPR for European customers). You may:

• Access and Update: Review and correct your account information through your account settings or by contacting us.
• Data Portability & Deletion: Request a copy of your data or ask for its deletion, subject to legal limitations.
• Marketing Communications: Opt-out of promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in any email.
