At MMS Machine, we sell powerful, reliable equipment built for serious work, and we treat your personal information with the same care and durability. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you share with us at mmsmachines.com.
By using our website, placing an order, or contacting our team, you agree to the practices described below. We've written it to be clear and honest, because trust is the foundation of every order we ship.

Buying equipment is a significant investment, and we protect every transaction accordingly. All payments on mmsmachines.com are encrypted and processed through trusted, industry-certified payment gateways.
Full payment card details are transmitted directly to PCI-DSS compliant processors using 256-bit SSL encryption. MMS Machine does not see or store your complete card number, giving you a checkout you can trust.
05Cookies & Tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help our website function and remember your preferences. We use them to keep items in your cart, remember your login, understand how visitors use our site, and measure the performance of our marketing.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that some features, like your shopping cart, may not work properly if cookies are turned off. We do not link cookie data to your identity without your consent.
06How We Share Information
We share your information only when it's necessary to serve you, and only with partners held to strict confidentiality standards. We may share data with:
- Shipping & logistics partners, to deliver your equipment safely across the United States.
- Payment processors, to securely complete your transaction.
- Service providers, such as hosting, analytics, email, and customer support tools that help us operate.
- Legal authorities, when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, customers, and security.
- Business transfers, if MMS is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may transfer as part of that transaction.
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing. The trust you place in us is not for sale.
07Data Retention
We keep your personal information only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including completing your orders, honoring warranties, providing support, and meeting legal, accounting, and tax requirements. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

09How We Protect You
We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These include SSL encryption, secure servers, restricted internal access, and trusted, vetted service partners.
While no method of transmission over the internet is ever 100% secure, we continually review and strengthen our protections to keep your information as safe as the equipment we ship is sturdy.
