Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2026. Draft pending review by counsel.
In short. ToolFlow Pro is software a machine shop uses to run its tool crib. The shop enters its own information, and we use it to provide the service to that shop. We do not sell it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share it with anyone except the service providers we need in order to operate.

1. Who we are

ToolFlow Pro is operated by ToolFlow Pro LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. Contact us at info@toolflowpro.com.

2. Whose information this is

Our customer is the shop. The people who use ToolFlow Pro are that shop's employees, and their employer decides who gets access and what is entered about them. We handle that information on the shop's behalf and under its instructions. If you are an employee with a question about your information, speak with your employer: they control the account.

3. What we collect

We do not collect Social Security numbers, home addresses, dates of birth, payroll, health information, biometrics or your device's location (such as GPS), and we do not track you across other websites. The IP address in the security log is the network address a request came from. We keep it to investigate misuse of an account, not to locate anyone.

4. Why we use it

To provide the service, to keep accounts secure, to give the shop a record of who did what, to send the operational emails the service depends on, and to support the shop when it asks.

5. Cookies

We use one strictly necessary cookie to keep you signed in; it expires eight hours after sign in. Your light or dark theme choice is stored in your browser. We use no analytics, advertising or third party tracking cookies.

6. Sharing

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for advertising. We use a small number of service providers to operate the service, in the following categories: cloud hosting, cloud database and storage, and transactional email delivery. They process information only to provide those services to us. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or of ToolFlow Pro.

Customers who need the specific list of providers for a vendor review can request our detailed data sheet at info@toolflowpro.com.

7. Where it is stored and how long

Data is stored in the United States. Work records are kept for as long as the shop's account is active, because they are the shop's own operating records. Sign in sessions expire after eight hours. When an account ends, the shop may request an export, and we delete its data afterwards; the security and activity record is kept for up to twelve months and then ages out on its own.

8. Security

Each shop's data is isolated from every other shop's. The database is not reachable from your browser: every read and write passes through our servers, which enforce what each role is allowed to do. PINs are encrypted, accounts lock temporarily after repeated failed sign ins, and the service is monitored automatically for unusual activity. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise.

9. Your choices

A shop can add, deactivate or remove its employee accounts at any time, and can ask us to export or delete its data. Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information; write to info@toolflowpro.com and we will respond within the time the applicable law allows.

10. Our access

ToolFlow Pro may access a shop's account to set it up, to restore access, and to provide support when it is requested. Those actions are recorded in the shop's own activity log.

11. Children

ToolFlow Pro is a workplace tool, is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

12. Payments

ToolFlow Pro does not currently process payments. When paid plans are introduced, card details will be handled by our payment processor and will not be stored on our servers.

13. Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above and notify the shop's administrator by email for significant changes.
