Our Simple Privacy Policy

First thing, let us emphasize that WE HATE SPAM. We don't like getting it and we don't send it.  The only communication you will get from us due to placing an order here will be in regards to your order. (If you want to have a beer with us or hang out with us on Facebook or something, you might hear about that too, especially if you embarrass yourself, but that's got nothing to do with ordering a sweeper)

We do not receive or retain any of your payment details (PayPal or your payment gateway may do that) - we do keep your shipping and contact details as required by the State of Illinois as verification that we don't have to collect Illinois state sales taxes from you. We do not share any details with third parties except for delivery information to delivery couriers or post office (so they've got enough info to find where to deliver your sweeper) and to US based government tax authorities as required by law - usually the tax folks aren't interested or don't care, and they haven't any jurisdiction to collect taxes from parties outside the US (such as yourself).

Now, the standard legal boilerplate - please note that your rights under US and Illinois law are similar BUT NOT EXACTLY the same as those in the UK.
