Privacy policy
Draft for review. Updated November 3, 2026.
Who we are
This policy explains what information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Information you send us
When you use the inquiry form, we collect what you enter:
Your name, company name, e-mail address, and city and state.
Your phone number, if you choose to give one.
What you make and where your process gets in the way.
Optional details such as materials, part sizes and volumes, target dates, budget range, equipment you are interested in, and how you prefer to be contacted.
If you e-mail us, we keep what you send so we can answer you.
Information collected automatically
Analytics. We use Microsoft Clarity, a third-party analytics service, to understand how visitors use this website. During your visit, Clarity may collect information such as the pages you view, where you click and scroll, how you move your mouse, and details about your device, browser and general location, and it may set cookies in your browser. Text you type into forms is masked and not recorded. Microsoft may use the information it collects through Clarity as described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement, including to provide Microsoft Advertising. You can opt out of this use through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page or by turning on the Global Privacy Control setting in your browser.
How we use your information
We use what you send us to reply to your inquiry, talk with you about equipment and handling options, and follow up about your inquiry. We use analytics information to see how people use this website and to improve it. We may also use or keep information when the law requires it.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your information. We share it only with companies that help us run this website and respond to you, such as our website host and e-mail provider, and when the law requires it. This website is hosted by Framer, which delivers inquiry form submissions to us. Analytics information goes to Microsoft as described above.
How long we keep it
We keep inquiry information for as long as we need it to respond to you and to keep our business records, or for as long as the law requires.
How we protect it
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us. No website or e-mail system is completely secure, so please do not send passwords, payment card numbers or other highly sensitive information through the form.
Your choices
You can ask us what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it by e-mailing tom@tomsellsmachines.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state law. You can opt out of the Microsoft use of analytics information as described above.
Children
This website is for businesses and is not meant for children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
