Questions about your data

Where do you store my data?

Your data is stored in a database that is hosted in the UK. The data is encrypted during transit and when stored to the highest possible standards, and access to the database is as restrictive as possible to help keep your data secure.

Why should I trust you with my data?

This is a good question, and it is right that you are asking it.

We take our responsibility to you and your data seriously. Outside of our work on this project, we work in sectors that involve the storage and protection of financial and medical data and are used to complying with our security and privacy obligations.

Our Privacy Policy describes (in a horribly legal way) our obligations to you, and how you can report us if you feel we have broken this agreement.

We will never give or sell your data to anyone else.

Will you sell my data to other companies?

We will never give or sell your information to anyone else. We keep your data solely for you to use in your Tool Record, or to help provide you with a more personalised experience.

What information do I need to provide to be able to sign in?

You can either sign in to Tool Record by entering your email address, or by logging in with your Facebook or Google account.

We keep a record of your name and email address. If you want to, you can tell us a bit more information to complete your profile. For example, the country that you live in and your profession. This information will help us to tailor the site for you, or to make better recommendations. But it is entirely optional.

We do not ask you to provide your address or any payment information.

Is it dangerous to tell you about the tools that I own?

We have been asked a couple of times if by storing a list of the tools you own we are making it easy for thieves to target you.

We will never ask you for your address or any other information that may identify where your tools are stored, and the information that you give us is accessible only to you, and is protected to the highest possible security standards.

Can I delete my data if I want to?

You can delete your account at any time simply by contacting us. We will respond within 24 hours and will delete your entire account, including any documents or images that you have uploaded to Tool Record.

Once your information has been deleted it will not be possible for anyone to access it.
