When you visit our Site, we and our third-party partners automatically collect certain technical information, including:
Our Site uses third-party tools including Google Analytics, Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel), and potentially other advertising and analytics platforms. These tools may collect information about your browsing behavior on our Site and across other websites in order to measure Site performance and deliver relevant advertising. This may constitute the “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
By submitting a form on our Site, you are opting into email communications from Flex Machine Tools. We use Mailchimp, a third-party email service provider, to manage and deliver our email communications. Mailchimp processes your contact information on our behalf and is subject to its own privacy policy, available at mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.
You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in any email we send you, or by contacting us directly at the information listed in Section 10. Please allow up to 10 business days for your opt-out request to take effect. Note that even if you opt out of marketing emails, we may still contact you for transactional or administrative purposes.
We use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve our Site and to deliver targeted advertising.
You may control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may impact Site functionality. Additionally:
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid opt-out of the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as required under California law effective January 1, 2026. If your browser or browser extension sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as an opt-out request and confirm the signal has been honored. We do not sell your personal information.
We do not sell your personal information. However, our use of Meta Pixel and Google advertising tools to deliver retargeted advertising may constitute “sharing” of personal information under California law, and you have the right to opt out of that sharing. We share your information in the following limited ways:
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers, third parties, or anyone else for their independent marketing purposes.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. General retention guidelines:

We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. We may extend this period by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary, with prior notice. We will not charge a fee for processing your request unless it is excessive or repetitive.
To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will not require you to create an account to submit a request.
As required under California law effective January 1, 2026, when we process your opt-out request (including those submitted via GPC), we will provide visible confirmation that your request has been honored within a reasonable timeframe.
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf. We may require written proof of the agent’s authority and may verify your identity directly.
