The Tank Store has adopted the
following Privacy Policy regarding your personal information. We respect
your privacy and the privacy of all who take time to visit us online.
Any information that you provide on this site will not be sold, leased,
traded, or rented to any 3rd party.
Generally
you can visit us on the Internet without volunteering any information
about yourself at all. Our web servers do collect minimal browsing
information, not email addresses, about our visitors without attempting
to "identify" any of them. We use this aggregate browsing information
(looking at all site visits at once) to measure and improve the online
information and services we provide our website visitors.
You should

Conditions" statement, to fully understand our position on privacy as
well as any and all obligations you have in using our website and the
information it contains. By using our website, you agree to the terms of

description of how we safeguard and how we use the information you
provide. If you have any questions about this please feel free to get in
touch with us.

Why do we gather personal information?
The information we gather about you and your visit
helps us to:
• Measure the effectiveness of the services and
information we provide online
• Create a more customized user experience online
• Make improvements in our user’s online
experience
• Provide limited, necessary information to
specific, value-added partners--only after you’ve volunteered
information for that purpose and have agreed to that next level of
contact. This would typically be (but not necessarily limited to) a user
investigating a product and requesting a distributor contact for
availability or pricing information. You will not be contacted at this
level without your consent.
What types of information do we gather?

We analyze our website log files to help us improve the value of the

our website.
Voluntary: Occasionally we may need
personal information from you (e.g., name, address, customer
identification number) for product or service offerings, to conduct
surveys, for contest participation, product registrations, etc. Whenever
this type of information is required we will try to inform you about
the purpose at the time of the collection. You will be able to elect to
not provide the information but we may be limited in the types of
services we can provide in that situation. No credit card or any
personal financial information is stored on any of our web servers.
