You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exemptions provided for by law.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information.

Alamo Group may share your personal information (including your Contact Information, Technical Information, Commercial Information, and Relationship Information) with social media platforms and other advertising partners to match and serve our targeted advertisements.

We will take reasonable steps to verify the authenticity of the request.

Authorized agents may submit a request by calling our toll free number 1-877-214-8864 or emailing us at [email protected].
For requests received from an agent on behalf of another person, please be prepared to provide proof, such as signed written permission, that agent is authorized to submit a request on that person’s behalf. We may also require the person to independently verify their identity with us and provide proof that they are a registered agent with the state of California.
In order to protect personal information from unauthorized access or deletion, we may request information to verify the authenticity of the request. If we cannot verify identity, we will not provide or delete personal information.
