We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal information you may provide to us through the website, checkout, customer account, email, WhatsApp, remote support, order forms or other communication methods.

We have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain what information may be collected, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose information to third parties.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, D.A.S Tool Online collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, device type, operating system, language preference, referring site, pages visited, and the date and time of each visitor request.

Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our website, improve the website, monitor performance, prevent fraud and improve our products and services.

From time to time, D.A.S Tool Online may use or share non-personally identifying information in aggregate form, for example by reviewing website usage trends or performance reports.

D.A.S Tool Online may also collect potentially personally identifying information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, device identifiers and location information based on IP address, especially for logged-in users, customers placing orders, users submitting forms or users leaving comments or reviews.

We may receive limited payment-related information such as payment status, transaction reference, billing details, fraud analysis results and confirmation that payment has been made.

Where you purchase a physical product, we may share relevant personal information with couriers, shipping providers, fulfilment partners, customs agents, suppliers or logistics providers where necessary to process and deliver your order.

This may include your name, delivery address, phone number, email address, order details and customs information.

Physical products may be shipped internationally from Asia, commonly from Hong Kong or another suitable fulfilment location. As a result, your information may be shared with international delivery partners and customs authorities where required for delivery, import, tax or customs clearance purposes.


Digital Delivery, WhatsApp and Remote Support

Where you purchase digital products, remote installation, software setup or support services, we may use your contact details and technical information to provide the service.

Support is normally provided by WhatsApp and, where necessary, remote connection software such as TeamViewer, AnyDesk or similar tools.

During remote support, we may temporarily view or access information visible on your device for the purpose of installation, troubleshooting or support.

Customers are responsible for closing personal files, private documents, confidential information or unrelated applications before starting a remote support session.

We do not intentionally access, copy or store personal files from your device unless required for the support request and agreed with you.


Security

The security of your personal information is important to us.

We use reasonable and commercially acceptable measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.


Advertisements

Advertisements appearing on our website may be delivered by advertising partners, who may set cookies or similar technologies.

These cookies allow the ad server to recognise your computer or device each time they send you an online advertisement and may compile information about you or others who use your device.

This information allows ad networks to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe may be of interest to you.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by D.A.S Tool Online and does not cover the use of cookies by advertisers or third-party advertising networks.
