Now, we have all seen every online merchant make a claim to that. Do they tell you how they make sure? Have you looked it up?

We take this matter seriously, and we would like to explain how we do make certain.

First of all, we do not use an online store service like Yahoo(R) who collects your information. We also do not delegate credit card processing to a 3rd party who also collects your information.

Now, we all are aware that these 3rd parties involved in your transactions also make claim that they do not share your information, too.

Uh, okay. So who checks on them? Who audits them? Can someone explain to us why we start getting SPAM mails for the exact thing we bought yesterday online, on a site with big privacy policy disclaimer?

With us, it is simple. We simply use your shipping info to process your order, and take your money through our bank. Just as when you purchase in a store, our bank does not collect your email address or where you live. No one but us knows what you bought from us.

We are able to accomplish this because we run our own secure eCommerce site, and we are willing to go the extra mile to do our own billing and processing.

In addition, our checkout pages are secured with SSL. This means anything you submit on these pages are encrypted and no one can take a peek. As a general rule, you should never enter any sensitive information such as Credit Card number on an unsecured page or in plain email. When you reach our checkout pages, you should see that the URL begins with https.
