We may also ask you to designate a user name and password. Of course, you may choose not to provide information requested on our Web Site. However, some features depend upon our receiving information designated as "required," and we will not be able to make those features available to you if you choose not to provide your information. In addition, you may be encouraged to provide optional information so that you can gain a more personalized experience from Snap-on's services and products.

Snap-on also collects information from other applications and forms you submit to us, from your dealings with us, from business reporting agencies and from other sources. Sharing Information and Use Snap-on may provide personally identifiable information about you to other companies or entities when sharing your information is necessary in order to provide the product, service or information you request or to confirm that you are authorized to receive certain third party content.

Snap-on is part of the Snap-on Company. Our corporate family offers a wide variety of products and services that can help you access and manage information. In order to provide you with access to these products and services, we may share information we collect about you and your business with other members of our corporate family.

Access to such information is restricted to individuals who need it in order to service your account or provide products and services to you and your business, and who are trained in the proper handling of such information. When third parties provide support services, we require them to conform to our privacy standards. You should note, however, that we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Statement. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private. Changes and Modifications It is important that the information we maintain about you and your business is accurate and complete.
