If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use the App or our Website. By accessing or using the App and/or this Website, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the App and/or this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

No one under the age of majority may provide any information to or on the Website or App. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a child, do not use or provide any information on or through the App; or on or through the Website. Additionally, do not make any purchases through the App or the Website, use any of the interactive or public comment features of the App or the Website or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us at 1-800-SAWDUST (1-800-729-3878).

Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

  • Directly from you when you provide it to us.
  • Automatically when you use the Website, App and ONE-KEY Tools.

Information You Provide to Us

  • When you use the Website and/or download, register with us or use this App, you may voluntarily provide information:
  • By which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline ("personal information").
  • Tool inventory information.
  • Tool mode information

Stored Information and Files

The App also may access metadata and other personal information associated with other files stored on your device. This may include, for example, photographs, audio and video clips, personal contacts and address book information. You can manually decide to share such information and the App will access such stored information or files you select to use for various purposes in the App, including uploading such information to the Website

Automatic Information Collection And Tracking

As you navigate through and interact with our Website, or when you download, access and use the App, we may use automatic data collection technologies. These technologies do not identify you as an individual, but do collect information regarding your internet service provider, computer, mobile device and connected tools. An example of such technology would be the use of browser cookies.

The type of such automatically collected information includes:
  • Usage Details. When you access and use the App, Website, or ONE-KEY Tools we may automatically collect certain details of your access to and use of the Website, ONE-KEY Tools or App, including traffic data, location data, tool connection and performance data, logs and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on or through the App or Website.
  • Computer Information. Information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system and browser type.
  • Device Information. We may collect information about your mobile device and internet connection, including the device's unique device identifier, IP address, operating system, browser type, mobile network information and the device's telephone number.

If you do not want us to collect this information do not use the Website and do not download the App or delete it from your device.

With respect to use of ONE-KEY Tools, the ONE-KEY Tools contain technology that identify the serial number and type of the tool (saw, drill, etc.) and broadcasts this information as a “Advertisement” that can be read by phones utilizing the App in the surrounding area. All Apps monitor for such Advertisements, even if the App is being used by another on another's device. The App will from time to time transmit the GPS location from the phone and Advertisement information received from the One Key Tool's whose Advertisements were detected by the App on the phone. While the GPS function of the phone will be used to identify the location of any ONE-KEY Tool (yours or others) whose Advertisements are detected by the App, no information identifying the owner of the ONE-KEY Tool whose Advertisement was detected by the App will be accessible or provided to the owner of the ONE-KEY App. Furthermore, no information regarding the App is provided to the ONE-KEY Tool. The owner of the ONE-KEY Tool can access the most recent location information Advertisement regarding their own ONE-KEY Tool by accessing their own App account to assist them in finding a lost tool.

The detection and transmission of Advertisement data by the App may be disabled at any time by a feature on the App. When disabled, the App will not transmit the location of your phone.

Additionally, a user of the ONE-KEY App or ONE-KEYy program on the Website can manually identify that a ONE-KEY Tool is theirs and place that tool in the users “inventory” on the users ONE-KEY account (“User Inventoried ONE-KEY Tool”). Information concerning this User Inventoried ONE-KEY Tool (tool settings, tool location, serial number and other information) will be collected and stored by the ONE-KEY App and uploaded to the users account on the Website where it will be accessible to the user. The ONE-KEY App or ONE-KEY program on the Website can control the settings of the User Inventoried ONE-KEY Tool. Furthermore, a user can create a guest account (“Guest Account”) on the App or the Website. A user can allow or disallow a Guest account User using the ONE-KEY App or ONE-KEY program on the Website to: connect to a User Inventoried ONE-KEY Tool and change the tools settings; connect to a User Inventoried ONE-KEY Tool and lock or unlock the User Inventoried ONE-KEY Tool; access a listing of all the One Key Tools in a users inventory; add or edit ONE-KEY Tools to a user's inventory. Note that the above features of the ONE-KEY App may not be available for all versions of the ONE-KEY App or for all ONE-KEY App tools.

How We Use Your Information

We use information that we collect to:
  • Provide you with the App and its contents.
  • To present our Website and its contents to you.
  • Give you notices about your account.

  • Provide support and repair service to you regarding your tools.
  • Prepare reports and logs of tool use, performance, and track battery life of tool.
  • Unlock the tools on behalf of the user

If you use a ONE-KEY Tool the Advertisement of the ONE-KEY Tool is read by any user (including yourself) using the App, we can use the Advertisement data to track the location of ONE-KEY Tool by serial number and its proximity to the phone, and location of the phone, using the App that detected it's Advertisement.

We may deny your deletion request in whole or in part if retaining certain information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.

Exercising Your Rights:

To exercise the right to know or the right to delete described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

  • Calling us at 1-800-SAWDUST (1-800-729-3878)
  • Visiting the following web page link: CCPA Request

You may only make a verifiable consumer request to exercise your rights under the CCPA twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing, Verification and Format:

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

When you make a request, we will attempt to verify your request as follows to ensure that we provide your personal information only to you or your authorized representative:

  • Account Users: We will verify your identity using our standard authentication means associated with your account with us.
  • Users Without an Account: We will verify your identity via first name, last name, email address and phone number.

If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

 

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following web page link:
