- Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see examples of what we collect.

For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses GraingerMcKoy.com. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously.

What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of GraingerMcKoy.com's shopping features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Does GraingerMcKoy.com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We don't share customer information except as described below:
- Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and processing credit card payments. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
- Protection of GraingerMcKoy.com and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements (detailed below); or protect the rights, property, or safety of GraingerMcKoy.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you type on our site.
- We reveal no information about your credit card number when confirming an order back to you. Of course, like any retailer, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
